New user - Game won't start - "Check your internet connection"

[Bonkin]

Hi,

 

Thought I'd take advantage of the sale and purchased BoM direct from IL-2 site. My key is activated.

 

When I try and run the game using my account login it takes a long time to do anything - but comes back with "Your connection to Master-Server was temporarily lost. Check your internet connection."

 

I cannot start Offline either because that throws a problem as well.

 

I've opened up the following ports on my router: 443 TCP/UDP. 28000 TCP/UDP & 28100 TCP and I have temporarily disabled by Norton Anti-Virus. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.

 

Can somebody please advise how I can get the game running?

 

Thanks in advance.

To add to this, I've had this game since the beginning, and I'm getting the same issue as of this afternoon (3pm EST). Something up with the servers?

Scratch that. I tried logging out and rebooting my machine. Then it worked. Very odd.

Server may have just had a glitch when you had initially tried it.

 

Edit, yep appears to be the case:
