Error 2146697211 (Launcher Start-Up)

When I start up the launcher its just black for around a minute, then suddenly - Error!
Tried a couple of times now. Nothings wrong with the internet and as far as I know the game has been functioning fine until today.

Any advice?

yep this.
Great start of the weekend :/

Been runing in Stone Vigil, Got DCed.... reconnect and found out another one of my party gone missing....
DCed again..... this thing pops up.....

so.... yeah.... DDOS..... :3

how in the hell does this happen? don't companies know this is bound to be attempted? do they not care enough to take preventive measures ahead of time? what the hell?

i mean, i don't know anything about it and what-not. it may be difficult thing to protect against, or cost a lot of money. i don't know. but you would think they would have at least planned on implementing some kind of protection eventually. i mean they may as well have been running the servers out of their basement. hells bells even cable modems these days are able to protect against DDoS attacks. >_>

Just saying. Been getting 90k,1014 and 2002 for the last 10mins, Midgarsdormr.

Seriously twice in two days.

WHAAooo chill mate! DDOS atk is something that happens when it happens and it takes time to resolve.....

Even the famous game like Phantasy Star Online JP server had it closed for several weeks due to this problems too...

give them some time, go out... see movies... sleep.... etc. and come back again later won't be too badya know :)
