It's possible IPv6 is causing you problems there. Go to the network adapter you use to connect to the Internet, select "Properties", on the "Networking" tab untick "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)", OK it, then restart the machine. Run PR, and if it still fails, make another ProcMon log if you can and paste it here.

If you could do the following it should prove helpful: Grab this Process Monitor application and extract/run it (it's free and clean - no need to install - no bs included).

On startup, set the "Filter" popup window to the following:

Process Name > is > PRLauncher.exe > then > Include > Add > OK

There are five icons top right on the main window when it opens that allow for toggling on/off what gets displayed; uncheck all except "Show Network Activity", then run PRLauncher and attempt to launch/update the game. ProcMon will produce an output that should indicate exactly what it's doing. The process goes something like the following:

Code: Select all

Start PRLauncher;
-----------------
1. UDP domain lookup (ingame.realitymod.com)
2. TCP connect to 74.55.51.162:80 (ingame.realitymod.com) = ticker data
	On Error = "Error loading news..."

Launch game;
------------
3. UDP domain lookup (gpcm.gamespy.com)
4. TCP connect to 69.10.30.242:29900 (gpcm.gamespy.com) = user login
	On Error = "1004: Error connecting to server. (10061)"

5. UDP domain lookup (prbf2.cdn.ancientdev.com)
6. TCP connect to 63.236.252.179:80 (random akamai/other host) = verification list
	On Error = "1301: Unable to contact verification server. Please check your internet connection and try again."

If you could post the output from that then that'd be great. Just save the result out in plaintext CSV form and paste it here (you can open it in Notepad to copy it), or you could just screenshot it.

A little long-winded all this, but trying to drill down to the fault here.

• Motherboard NIC connected by ethernet directly to modem/router -> Stutters
• USB dongle connected to Wifi -> Stutters

1. Your router/modem config
2. Your windows networking config
3. Something completely unrelated to your networking setup, like an antivirus, malware etc
