Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Since the latest the patch post most recent major update i have found myself unable to login.

Now the launcher works because it says how many people are online but when i get to the login screen and i type in my pass word and press enter another mini window pops up ontop of the main screen and is subtitled connection failed with the following description below it....

Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

At first i thought that maybe the server had crashed so i went to bed but for the second day now this has happened and obviously i am hooked up to the internet otherwise i wouldn't be capable of creating this topic.

Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a fix?
