Yeah checked the firewall settings... don't think it's that, I'm guessing it could be the internet connection, on vacation at the moment and the WiFi connection at the resort is ridiculously slow..... Think I'll check when I get back home....not that my Internet speed is much better at home though...but TIA(this is Africa) I guess.
Once again I do apologise for going off like that, of all the things I can complain about, after sales support from BG studios definitely isn't one of them!
