Are you using the EU proxy server?

usualy I use the EU proxy but leave the patch via proxy unchecked.

but of course I tried no proxy , us proxy & patching via proxy before runing traceroutes.

logged off before todays maintenance (and for lunch) and came back to this fubar mess.

and for the record. the times passing between my postings equals the time I need to refresh and hit post reply.

His not the only one my friend is having the same problem can't load launcher or get on the forums to get any help... but can access the rest of the web.. just cryptic sites/games he can't get on to.

Where are you anyway my friend? I'm guessing europe but where abouts?

germany, isp: t-online

Same issue. I am also with t-online.

connectivity is back for me. dunno if by luck i changed to a local IP that doesn't have the issues or if cryptic netops switched something.

traceroutes from now:
