Can't enter the game anymore

[ice_zero_cool]

Hey Guys,

I've got a little problem here...


First my Laptop:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @2,1GHz
GPU: nVidia GeForce 8600M GS 256 MB
RAM: 4GB DDR3

OS: Windows Vista Business
Version: Windows Vista SP2
DirectX: DirectX 10

Description of the problem (from another thread) :

It loads 1/4 to 1/2 of the loading progress bar and then and error message pops up saying: "There was a connection problem. Please reenter the game again.". [...] How do I fix it so I can get the game to load properly. No, my internet didn't lose connection, nor did it crash during loading.

This describes it pretty much.

I first got the problem when trying to get on Amun, short after Stage 9 got implemented. I de-installed the game today (since I wanted to test stage 10 on Amun and I knew it wouldn't work). I deleted the last bits of the dir where Regnum Online was being installed, too.
The path of the directory now is "E:\Program Files\NGD Studios\Regnum Online new tech" (I also tried "E:\NGD Studios\Regnum Onlinenew tech" before).

After reinstall the problem got even worse. I can't enter any of the servers anymore.
Run as administrator doesn't work either.

If I forgot something, please feel free to ask.

regards
ice

C'mon...

guys??? NGD??? anyone?

I can't believe that noone even has an idea of what I could try next.

Try to run it in window mode :/
worked for me once

Did you check download all resources at once? Try the opposite setting of what you used.

yea, tried it, but nothing happened... still unable to log in

[DkySven]

Ok, in that case, could you search for the error logs and post them here?

I hope that this is the correct log (not that I was able to chose from different logs, but still)
here I go...

According to the last lines, it looks like it is caused by textures. Please try setting a lower shader model in Options or set Terrain multitexturing at low in Advanced Options.

[ice_zero_cool]

tried all shaders - nothing
graphical settings as low as possible - nothing either

Is it possible that Firewall, Antivirus or any kind of those annoying (yet medium useful) programs block Regnum connection (TCP) which makes it drop it?
Did you configure Firewall like Kailer posted?
Do you have in your Firewall option "Gaming mode"? If so, try it.
