BDO - [failed to connect]

I'm still struggling with [now processing] -> [failed to connect]
i've tried:
- Restarting my PC
- Restarting router and my PC
- http://forum.gameznetwork.com/threads/gamezbdo-errors-and-solutions.210464/ [full read]
- elevated cmd:
a) ipconfig /release - /renew
b) ipconfig /flushdns + Changed to OpenDNS
c) netsh int ip reset followed by PC restart [this has worked for me before the v678 update]
- Tried VPN [returning with "Valid authentication time has expired" error]
My launcher version is v678 - patched with [v661 GamezBD to v678 GamezBD (2.7GB)]
from http://forum.gameznetwork.com/threads/download-mirrors-client-patch-v678-community-provided.210022/
- Performed force file check from launcher - no errors
- Folder R/W set as stated in guides

 

same as me, before v678 update i can login after using "netsh winsock reset" but i cant do it right now.
