Hi there,
A screen shot of the page you get to would help us narrow down the issue, seems like a possible launcher issue, are you running as admin and allowed access through other software?

A friend of mine is having the same issue, he says that he gets into the game and there are the cinematic, credit, settings and quit buttons, but not the play button. Does anyone know how to fix this?(yes, he's running the game as administrator)

Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) from all the files in the WAR folder and try again. You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.

Also, try to download and extract all the files in your WAR folder:

I've already made him try those solution and they didn't work. I've checked the forum and narrowed it down to an antivirus/firewall problem and if that doesn't work i'll tell him to try using a vpn, since the last who had this problem solved it this way.
Any other advice?
