NCSoft Launcher Error (w/Pics)

I can still get into the game, but not sure why I'm getting this. I'm tempted to just uninstall and and reinstall the launcher but I'm afraid I'll lose game access completely if I do so. I can still access the plaync.com website as well.

I went through the announcements to see if I'd missed something... not sure what's going on. It's not a firewall issue, I turned it off completely and still had this occur.

Bah.

I found the problem. Earlier in the week I had set my Internet Explorer to use a fake proxy (so that it would never, ever connect to the internet again. I hate IE).

It never occurred to me that the NCLauncher would *require* IE to be able to connect to the update server. That's ridiculous.

Nevertheless, undoing the fake proxy allowed me to use the updater again.

Thank you! This was very useful. I haven't been able to log into the game for a couple weeks now and finally figured it out with your post!

Agreed, it's always good form to post the what, why, and how on having your problem solved!
