Re: Can only log into launcher in Safe Mode
If it is simple to uninstall ESET and re-try as a test is worthwhile, providing it is easy for you to re-install ESET afterwards
It has been a fair while since coming across an issue with ESET and protocol filtering as the cause (but it was certainly a common issue with eset).
What occurs under a clean boot (Link) rather then safe mode ? (if using bitraider you will need to leave the bitraider services enabled like bitraider mini support service stub loader).
