  I can only get the game to load half the time anymore. Since Thursday.  I’m already frustrated by the garbage update, and this is about what I need to quit the game altogether.

  ScottHope:

  Perhaps some part of the download is being blocked by your firewall/antivirus/security.

  Try booting into safe mode and running the game again.

  To boot into safe mode on Windows 11...

  1. Click taskbar start button.
  2. At the bottom right of the app menu click the power button.
  3. Hold down your shift key and click restart from the power button menu, then release your shift key.
  4. Allow your PC to restart then select Troubleshoot from the options.
  5. On the next screen select Advanced Options.
  6. On the next screen select Start Up Options.
  7. On the next screen click Restart.
  8. On the next screen press the number on your keyboard that corresponds to Enable Safe Mode With Networking.

  Once you are up and running in safe mode try launching the game again.

  To get out of safe mode just reboot your PC.

  Well, I don't have windows 11,and this game worked fine for 12-14 years with my security/firewall/antivirus on. I would think purging WGT from my system and reloading would be enough. It is on WGT's end as there are too many people that have the same exact problem. I have not heard back from WGT, and I wrote them 5 times

  This might be of interest. I just activated my VPN and set it to use a USA location. Upon firing up the game I was hit with a loading issue screen.

  So you could try using a VPN and set its location to somewhere other than the USA.

  Thanks Scot but I am not sure how that helps! Prior to the recent download everything was working fine, so it’s not my end! It’s Wgt
