The above plus some creepy voice saying something I can't make out. I haven't once been able to get in the game after DLing.

If someone can help here it would be very appreciated.

Cheers,

What specifically happens when you try to play? Are you able to get to the point where you type in your username/password? Is VO able to connect to the updater?
There are no voices in VO, so that's coming from somewhere else.

Maybe you have little snitch and the computer is saying "little snitch automaticly denied"blah blah blah about some other program that is causing your connection to time out or something. If you have little snitch that is.
