Rise of Legends claims "firewall" is blocking -- just started

The issue is related to a patch server problem that occured due to hardware malfunction, and the backup is taking time to DNS propagate. In the interim, the “firewall detected” message is popping up for a number of players. Clicking “Okay” several times on the error message should allow you to eventually log in to the multiplayer interface.

We do apologize for this unexpected downtime, and we are taking steps necessary to ensure that it does not occur again.

If you could stop it from telling me that it can’t find the CD Key Authentication, making me restart the entire game after every multiplayer match, I’d appreciate that too.

No, I did not pirate the game. Yes, I own the game. Yes, the CD is in there.
