gamersgate problem

[unmerged(85800)]

i realise this probably isnt the right place, but i have emailed gamersgate and had no response. I have just bought this game and went to download it from the Gamersgate downloader, but i get an error saying it cant connect to the server because of my firewall. Well i've disabled both firewalls, given it permission and everything but it still doesnt work. Anyone have any suggestions? i was kind of hoping to play the game now i've paid for it.

thanks.

I can't help you, but maybe you have better luck in the GamersGate Help Forum

With some firewalls (like Zonealarm), disabling is not enough. They remain active even if disabled, and must be uninstalled to fix the problems they cause.
But that seems a drastic step.

If you have a rule based firewall, make sure you allow the downloader to access the internet, on ports 80 and 443 at least. Best would be to create a generic rule that allows the application full access on any ports.
