This sounds like my problem.
So your find saves me a lot of work! Thanks

I've just added the exceptions to my fw anyway, and will give it another shot to see if the connection thingie is solved yet. Hope they do so soon!

Edit: Tried it quickly, but still got disconnected within the hour. Guess this trial will be kind of wasted.

Well, after a lot of trial and error and reading lotro forums, I think I've fixed the random disconnection thingie. Apparently this was caused by lotro using more memory than my 32bit vista was able to address.
Fixed it by assigning only 1GB to Vista and leaving the rest of the 3GB available for lotro.

Unfortunately, one problem remains: whenever I'm zoning, dying, logging back in after leaving the game recently, the game will freeze at the splash screen (pulsing one ring, no progress on the bar).
Eventually I'll get a disconnection from server, and when relogging I'll either get "searching for logon server x20" or again the splash screen with no progress on the bar.
So I now fixed it so that I can solo-play the MMO but any instancing seems to be out.

I'm back to mailing Codies - but I've decided that when I haven't been able to fix it once the trial is up I'm giving up on the game.
Pity really, it looks good fun.

Glad you fixed one issue. Annoyed that there's still an issue (Which seems to be quite a common one) as without that you really would enjoy the game.

[Gunnarr]

Yep, the game itself looks sweet.
It's unplayable atm though. Well, it is playable atm, solo, but I'm getting nauseous if I picture all this happening while I'd have a group waiting for me to start an instance....

Also, I just crashed outdoors again. Gah! At least it seems much less common now...

[Mangala]

So, it works now for you?

Thoughts so far?

[Gunnarr]

Well, I think the game looks great (I knew that much), I like the way in which it's story driven (at least the into, I didn't get much beyond that yet, I hope it keeps up!)
The character animations could be better I think, fights look a little static.
Oh, and I think the game plays much better when it doesn't crash every 10-30 minutes!
