    In the very short term you could try to use www.hotspotshield.com free , if it triggers the launcher login ok, you will be able to at least start the game download.

    uninstall this VPN once its sorted , it will offer ads without paying but just close the window on it and download the game.

    obviously if it doesn't help at present just uninstall it , this is a popular VPN to use though.

Thank you, sir! That helped me log-in and now the game is downloading. I do hope I get into the game as well. Greatly appreciated!

    Welcome Mate , it should get you in game as well , ping maybe a little higher then normal, I would think at worst

    I Hope it sorts for you quickly over the next day or so.

    May The Force Be With You
