I'm still struggling. When i click login, it goes to load the game but just before you see the SB picture i get an error saying "DirectDraw init Failed" i've tried uninstalling and re-installing but to no avail. Even tried re-downloading the client and patching that but had no luck either.

-----------------------------

Okay now for some reason i get past the SB picture and see a black screen saying connected but i get an error msg poping up "Error 2, Launch Shell error"

so i might be in the wrong thread to post this now, as i dont know if the update caused it to go wacko or if it is just a coincidence that the errors happened when the update was released.
