Okay so I just got the new update...now when I log in it gives me that error after a minute and doesn't let me hit the "play" button.
Idk if this could be an added factor but I also just got the windows 8.1 upgrade o.o
EDIT:
FIXED IT =D
my one firewall turned back on and I didn't notice.....
totally my bad. if this could get deleted that'd be awesome.
