I posted in GD hoping for a dev's glance but knowing my luck it'll just be sent here and ignored.

Finally got around to doing a trace and a nettest results below:-

hit return to exit

I was able to get in again today during maintenance, was able to patch and even get into the game for a bit, of course once I exited the Cryptic Launcher Autoupdate stopped working again.

@averydd our tracert look very similar

I only get 10 lines for some reason.

They do especially the timeout bit, so its not just an individual case.

ok just tried using my phone as a personal hotspot and it went straight to the launcher window. WTH is going on with the route the signals going down if my phone works???

Interesting.

@averydd
