This may seem like a stupid question, but did you activate the game before trying to play it?

Sometimes I've found you have to right-click on the title in My Games and click "Activate" because for some reason Steam didn't automatically activate the game.

STILL DOESN'T WORK.

I've formatted my hard drive and set up a new operating system, any evidence of my previous install of this game has been obliterated. It's definitely activated, I even removed the old saves, so when it launched it asked me for the cd key again, which I provided. Still the same thing. It says "logging in" for a short while and then "The operation was canceled because it took too much time, try again later", and if I try again immediately, it says "operation failed".

Do you think it's because my connection is too slow? Because it's currently under a 200 KB cap my ISP put on it because I went over my download limit; but that's never given me any problems with other games in the past...

Is that a speed cap or a transfer cap? I somehow doubt it's a 200 KB transfer cap as you would exceed that limit just viewing a few pages. If it's a speed cap, 200 KB is more than enough bandwidth.

It sounds like your game packets aren't reaching the global server. Check your firewall settings and allow exception for Vegas 2 and Steam. You might try hooking up your PC directly to your modem to see if you can connect to the Ubisoft Vegas 2 login server.

Sounds like a firewall is blocking your game from accessing the internet service...

It's a speed cap. Speedtest.net gives me this from the closest server:



I only ran the test once so these results are not set in stone.

One weird thing just happened; I disabled windows firewall and was then able to enable UPNP in game which I wasn't able to do before. Still get the same error message though.

These are the ports I have forwarded on my router by the way:

TCP 3074 - 3074
UDP 3074 - 3174
TCP 10130 - 10130
UDP 10140 - 10140
TCP 80 - 80

Update: I got it to work! It's definitely the cap that is the problem. The other day I noticed when I was downloading R6V2 through Steam that if I restarted my router it was as if the cap was lifted for a short time, giving me much more speed (up to 1 MB/s) which made the download process jump up about 3% before going down (to about 24 KB/s) again. So I restarted the router, brought up the game, hit login and it worked almost instantly. Yay!

I've got the game as well. I'm reinstalling it as we speak (just because I feel like installing all my tactical/simulation FPS games ), now if I could find my old character files with my Captain rank on it.
