Hello people, I hate to be bothering Larian's technical support, but I have been experiencing this small problem since last week:

Whenever I try to start the game the message "Connection to the Larian support server failed. The Larian support tool will be disabled. An exception occurred during a WebClient request. - Error creating the Web Proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultProxy' configuration section.". The game itself launches just fine, but I can't get in the arena and can't play the SP campaign either, it just remains stuck on loading forever.

I have already tried uninstalling reinstalling the game, but it did little to nothing. Editing the firewall settings seemed to have had no impact whatsoever, either.

I can't tell if it is an issue with my pc or the latest update, since my old pc kinda died 4 months ago and I've managed to get a new one running only now.

What could the issue be, and more importantly, how can I fix it?
