Someone upthread said ;

_If you still can’t get on, try : “Socket Error FIX : Launch client, before choosing character, press ESC to enter menu, go to settings, reset cache and reload client”_

Worked for me.

Thanks, whoever you were - no chance of finding your post in this mess of whiny self-entitlement… eta Found you, quite by chance - Thanks Devorak Kurvora
