Re: Failed to open socket
sound to me like you have an agressive firewall or limited network (some public/school connection tend to block anything thats related to gaming).
You can try the sslauncher to use an sshtunnel to connect to game, essentially hiding the fact that your connecting to a game. That wont work with the patchbot tho, so when a new patch get in, youll basicly have to redownload the game if you cant fix your firewall issue.
