I tried reinstalling everything still doenst work. i don't get an error message so can't show you one.
the login server file does change after atempting to log in.

Original text is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RootElementOfAnyName>
<MythLoginServiceConfig>
<Settings>
<ProductId>2</ProductId>
<MessageTimeoutSecs>24</MessageTimeoutSecs>
</Settings>
<RegionList>
<Region regionName="prod">
<PingServer serverName="None">
<Address>0.0.0.0</Address>
<Port>0</Port>
</PingServer>
<LoginServerList>
<LoginServer serverName="ReturnOfReckoning01052015">

<Port>8048</Port>
</LoginServer>
</LoginServerList>
</Region>
</RegionList>
</MythLoginServiceConfig>
</RootElementOfAnyName>


After logging in it changes to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

All looks OK there. Try checking security settings and through anti virus. Try using a VPN to see if you can log in to character lobby with a different IP.

Well I have a similar problem, the launcher works fine I believe its the client I am seeing a problem in it starts fine but when its attempts to log in after the Handshaking process it seems to fail to successfully login, I don't know what to do at this point.

After removing read only, adding firewall and antivirus exceptions, making sure the files are unblocked and running as admin, getting most recent launcher, rebuilding performance whatevers, etc. I still get this error:


Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)

By same problem I mean I'm getting the same error code and results as OP. I've added exceptions in my firewall and antivirus, I've rebuilt my performance whatevers, restarted my computer, made sure the files aren't read only and are unblocked, and I'm running as administrator. But I still get this:


Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)

So this error
Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.

Might be related to UAC being disabled. User Account Control. It's the Windows function that prompts certain types of files to run. Turn that on, set it to the lowest security level if that's what you want. As a long-time sysadmin, we never turn this off, and only lower it on trusted devices (your home device would be considered trusted).

It also might be related to needing to run WAR.exe as admin. You need to force it to run as admin by right clicking on WAR.exe, Properties, Compatibility tab, always run as admin.

If that fixes the issue, let me know and I'll add it to the sticky.

Make sure you have directx file in your game folder. Even if your Windows is 64bit, you need the 32bit directx file.

I turned down UAC, installed DX10. 9.0c isn't compatible with windows 10 even in compatibility mode. Both War.exe and launcher are run as admin. Still get the same error.
