Whether you use Firefox or not, the Launcher still uses Internet Explorer for it's patch server calls. Therefore if Internet Explorer is set to Work Offline, the launcher won't be able to connect to the patch server. Jeffers

If you keep trying you can get to the subscription info, but seems that there's a couple of problems in the system. We'll probably have to wait until tommorow for them to be sorted out though. Jeffers
