The online racing simulator
another "ConnectToMaster: Error opening socket"
ill answer a few questions i expect to be thrown at me before i even start. Yes i have allowed it on windows firewall and windows firewall is turned off. AVG is off as that stopped some online games from working...

I was playing 4 hours ago perfectly fine. I have just done a clean install and im using the version v0.5Z28 and im still getting the "ConnectToMaster: Error opening socket" error.

Im on windows 7 64bit. My internet is perfectly fine as my ping in other games is 50-80 depending on which game i play if that matters.

any ideas?

any help is appreciated.

it works on my older pc if it helps any. just i cant get my g27 to work on it.
This error would suggest that windows has a problem creating a network socket. This might sound silly, but have you tried rebooting your computer?
