Gutless

I appreciate you looking into this. I have tried removing all antivirus programs (I Use AVG), and firewalls, I also ran steam as Admin, remove space to continue, and have tried every other suggestion. I try to open a game in single player and get my first message posted a week ago every time. I try to connect multiplayer and I get the same error but appears the loop is broken somehow and then works. I have also tried running my own server, hosting my own game, and I get the same error. For some reason when I try to run the game from my localhost it gets stuck in an infinite loopback.

This is the log of me connecting to avorion test server with no issues. I only post this because this game is very interesting and I would like to be able to play on a single player mode where I can set the parameters. So I am hoping these logs will help find a solution.

So I still can not get a single player game to work but I was finally able to log onto a multiplayer server these are the logs just in case it helps

same issue as original poster I have tried disabling all firewalls and port forward 27000, 27003, 27020-27021 Also tried updating to beta version. Purchased yesterday I have never actually gotten into a game. 2017-11-25 21-37-55| Client started: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Avorion\bin\Avorion.exe"
