So still working on my graphics issues, and was running down the checklist of stuff to do, and decided I'd check on my startup processes since I was looking a bit bloated (40 running). So I clicked the 'don't show Microsoft processes' button then hit deselect all, thinking this would get rid of all non-MS startup stuff. I restarted without checking, and then was unable to connect to the game. I quickly realized what happened and reenabled everything. Then manually deselected the processes I didn't want to run at startup. These are my saitek stuff, roxio drag and drop, java updater, google update services (don't even know where/when I got that installed), nero backup scheduler, my tversity media server, and my nvidia updater. Also got rid of installsheild scheduler, a couple more nero processes, and daemon tools.
All other MS Processes are active.
Anyways, after not being able to connect I uninstalled and reinstalled the program (now done twice). The second time I unistalled, shut down, then rebooted and reinstalled. Everything appears fine, I can connect to the Early War and Mid War and WWI arenas. When I attempt to connect to other arenas the map download begins as normal (including when I logged into EW/MW/WWI) however once the download completes it brings me back to the initial bootup screen and I have to log back in. Upon trying to reconnect, the map begins to download again and then I'm booted back out after upload finishes.
I've tried downloading the map being using in LW from the website and install it, however it's still trying to have me download the map when I sign in to the arena.
The main download link from the webpage won't work for me either. I had to use the alternate download. I get a cannot connect to the internet error when I attempt to download from the main link on the webpage
