Well, I just bought and installed the game two days ago and have -never- seen it even run because of this glitch; a bit frustrating to download however many gigabytes of content and not be able to get past the launcher.
error: 42:0:9001:4105
Mac client, OSX 10.8.2, mac book pro retina w/16GB ram
no firewall
tried the “switch language” trick and the “delete cache” fix, no joy
