When I click Play on the website, it goes to the DAOC load screen and the load bar fills up, then says:

"An error has occurred and you were unable to connect. Hit ESC to exit game."

It was working fine before, I've tried reinstalling the daoc client and launcher, my firewall settings are fine. What would be causing this?

Also, every so often, a different error pops up. The load screen will downsize and an error box says:

"Authentication server connection failed
The connection to the authentication server was terminated prematurely. Please check your firewall settings.
(error: The operation completed successfully)"

I turned my firewall off and it still doesn't work, so I don't think it's firewall - it was working fine before.
