This is what i get and I RUN IT AS ADMIN!

Please Wait popped up when i clicked start and it faded then the txt came up PLEASE HELP!

What anti-virus do u have

McAfee

Ive got the same problem and when i click the button on the left its comes up with a computer screen that appears to be sending data to a desktop then an error message appears and i have McAfee also

Huh its quite easy but have to b done in right manner,
first uninstall entire game and delete every trace of it.
than install game and use rtps to patch it till 1.57.25 than use launcher to make it 1.57.27(use only and only simply patched rtps which u can get from google )
than run game and enjoy.

Thank user if it helped.

Whats rtps though i havent a clue

I uninstalled the entire game and now i need rtps whatever that is :S

I think I had the same problem where the launcher didnt work, and I have AVG

but it didnt show that last one with "please wait" it simply show a message and not start

it's a problem in wasabii, the launcher tries to repair the game based in files in the server but these files doesn't exist.
The only solution I can say is try reinstalling. (beware the antivirus if it is Nod32 or AVG. These antivirus block some downloads of the Launcher)

"game initialize failed"

Why?

ATM is Maintance and this is not beacuse of it it's cuz of ANTIVIRUS your take out lang.0pak on your desktop delete all folders reinstall dbo run as admin and it should work ;) amm just try it if not write me a PM , And about Game intialize .. it's just cuz u run DBO not in ADMIN.. try to run in Administartor :) Good luck you all for trying fix :) !

P.S DELETE antivirus ! and download a new one after u install a game ! and if there is viruses accept.. they are not real just.. so don't be scary :)
