Since last night, I haven't been able to log in to the game. I've tried searching for the error and completing the steps listed, but none of them have worked. I've tried updating my firewall settings (and disabling it temporarily for testing), tried setting my computer to the state it was in before the most recent update, tried booting in safe mode, etc. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any advice?
