.21] PC & Mac "Network Error: Connection failed"

[frantish]

Both my Mac and PC cannot get online.

PC gives message "Network Error: Connection failed"

Mac just quits (and that should be a bug, since you do not know if network error or game crash).

I suspect Server side issue.

Getting the same now. Is there anybody who managed to get online?

MdHarper also found a Vista bug related to this issue:

But this error also has a bug on Vista64.

For me, the Network error "Connection Failed" window pops up behind the frozen splash screen. You cannot alt+tab to it or anything. Can't alt+F4. You have to ctrl+alt+delete and start task manager. Then you can navigate to the error window and click OK closing the game.

Edit: I tested in WinXP and the error window came to the top as it should. I don't have Vista32 installed at the moment to test that OS.
