I'm hoping there'll be a fix before I cave and do the same.

Keep us updated, though!

Oops - They either just fixed it or the "Spybot Search and Destroy" Tea-timer (system protection) was causing the problem. I just disabled that and GW ran fine.

Hecates Hellion · Mar 31, 2007, 10:25 AM // 10:25

Installed but taking ages for it to down load the in game stuff

Sharma Katz · Mar 31, 2007, 12:17 PM // 12:17

Yay thankyou! I disabled spybot and mine runs fine now ^^ Weird though.

Rikino · Mar 31, 2007, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Disabling TeaTimer worked for me, too. Thanks!

Daakkon · Mar 31, 2007, 06:54 PM // 18:54

yea disabling it worked for me to

Hecates Hellion · Mar 31, 2007, 07:16 PM // 19:16

Dont mean to be thick - but:

what needs disabling ?

How do you disable it?

Why has it just become an issue?

Rgds

Happy to Play but Thick as Pig Swill on How it Plays

Easiest way is to disable TeaTimer, load Gw, re-enable TeaTimer.

Open Spybot - Search and Destroy.
Mode (Alt+M) - Advanced.
Bottom LH corner -Tools.
In the viewing pane, make sure Resident is ticked.
In LH column, click on Resident.
Under the shield, you have a Resident Protection Status with two entries.
UNCHECK Resident TeaTimer, and then DON'T close Spybot.
Run GW and it should work - Norton may ask you to allow gw.exe if you use it.
Minimise GW, re-enable TeaTimer and close Spybot.
Maximise GW.
Destroy Evil.

Cheers -

HAve found much better connection speed once turned Tea timer off.

Rock on all!

The Resident TeaTimer is a new tool of Spybot-S&D which perpetually monitors the processes called/initiated. It immediately detects known malicious processes wanting to start and terminates them giving you some options, how to deal with this process in the future: You can set TeaTimer to:

* be informed, when the process tries to start again
* automatically kill the process
* or generally allow the process to run

There is also an option to delete the file associated with this process.

In addition, TeaTimer detects, when something wants to change some critical registry keys. TeaTimer can protect you against such changes again giving you an option: You can either "Allow" or "Deny" the change.

As TeaTimer is always running in the background, it takes some resources to run, about 5 MB.

Most people really don't even need Tea Timer unless you, are the idiot that clicks on and installs everything he/she/it sees, its an added layer of complexity that just becomes an annoyance.
