"Starting secure connection with commerce servers." No network connection attempted.

First bug report

Click on purchase tab and get message:

"Starting secure connection with commerce servers."

However checking network activity I see 0 (zero) outgoing packets - no network activity present at all from starting rFactor 2 to three minutes of watching the secure connection message. All other networked systems are A-OK.

Have, Windows 7 Ultimate and Ralink RT61 wireless card.

Ta.

 

stucked on starting secure connection with commerce servers

Is anything down? Any other way to pay?

 

It seems I have the same issue. Tried disabling my firewall too. nada

 

Do you have any network activity or outgoing packets?

 

nada

 

Same exact problem... tried it on Windows Vista laptop and was able to sign up. Still nothing on the Windows 7 box.

I have the same problem. Windows 7 Profesional. When I click in purchase I get message "Starting secure connection with commerce servers" and I cannot buy a license.

 

capito are you wired or wireless

 

wireless here, did you ever get it working on your win 7 machine?

 

it did that to me when the servers were under strain, but I was able to get passed it later on.

If you have "starting secure..." message turn into "failed..." then close down the launcher, wait a few seconds then open it up again.

When you get beyond the "starting secure..." message it should load your purchase options, if it doesn't load the buttons, colours and images immediately, it might take a little while. If nothing changes, again...close down the launcher, wait a few seconds and try again.

As I said, this happened to me to start of with, but I was able to complete the sign up and activation process eventually, I did not need to tweak any internet settings to do it either.

 

The problem is we're not even getting to the fail message. Just sits idle on 'starting secure...."

 

Wireless

 

So there's the common thread, we're all wireless on Windows 7 for any ISI guys monitoring this issue.

 

And I take it that none of us can easily connect to a wired connection?

 

Yeah mine's about 30 feet away

 

Same problem for me... wifi or eth doesn't change... I'm trying to connect from 6 hours... stalled
W7, no firewall

 

Have the same problem i`am trying since 4 hours. Firewall is of Virus Scan is off Ports are all open. rFactor is running in Administrator mode i have tried XP combatibility too nothing works. But the funniest thing is that the dedi server works.

 

Sigh. I tried all that too, plus tried another connection and a reinstall.

 

Eurecaaaaa! the person with windows 7 and have a wireless connection you must also enable the network card (Local Area Connection). Run as administrator go to the tab "Purchase" wait a few seconds and ready! In my case it worked!
