Solved Game Guard issue - Connecting, please wait(2)

Having same issue as other threads stated and tried every suggestion made to resolve this issue including several re installs, allowing permissions, firewalls, avast security. There was no explanation that I read on how these players solved this problem, just on the reason the connection was being blocked, or that the issue was solved privately. Was working just fine around October last year before i gave d2 a break, and I haven't made any changes to my pc or network.

 

It sounds like you've tried quite a few steps - I wouldn't mind offering some private assistance to try and help resolve for you. If you'd like me to give it a shot, send me a PM.

 

The 4G connection didn't work. So It works on my laptop with no issues, didn't have to change anything other than compatibility. I guess that eliminates everything I have been trying to change because its basically the same setup as my desktop as far as OS, security, and both are on WiFi. Ill see what other options I can think of to resolve this. Can't play on my laptop because its old and overheats when gaming on it.

 

Got it working. I deleted every d2 file I could find and went into the registry and wiped all that too. My guess is that along the line of trying to update the new patch I ended up changing the directory of where d2 was located and it wasn't reading the game properly in the registry. Dunno, all is good though.
