Hi guys.

I bought the game today but I am pretty stuck.

I copied my account over the PTU thing and got an email with some instructions. Problem is I can't do anything that the instructions say as there is nowhere for me to put a password in.

Also when I try to load the game I get some error about not backing up bootstrapper. I can exit that but when I get to game I just get another error saying log in time out and have to exit it.

Help, I haven't even managed to play the game so at the moment it's a big waste of cash.

Why are you trying to use the PTU?

Just play it normally.

The instructions are pretty straight forward IMHO.

Thanks that is really helpful bro.

i wouldn't bother with the PTU until your use to the game

@CatCloud the new update out today requires the new launcher.

The PTU is a mindfuck. Stick with trying to pay normally until their next PTU push.

The error you were getting is a common one over the past 24hrs. They claim it was recently fixed. Restart the launcher and it should update with a fix.
