Context on sockets: We’re so far into web 2.0 the companion is trying to open a network socket for the user interface to talk to. Also the I think the SDK has an open connection to the companion to know when a project is open
I just run windows defender, i checked its settings and firewall settings and there was nothing that would be blocking it. I found a solution. After a millionth attempt at a reinstall and reboot of PC it finally loaded in.
Said i had an update, after update it worked. Honestly I dont know how they expect us to update an app if it breaks like that lol. And why didnt the installer download the latest version when I reinstalled? So many questions.
I appreciate you response, I replied to Spokeek with the solution. Basically it had to update, but I couldnt update it cause I couldnt even get into the app.
Even though I downloaded a new installer from the site it still installed an old version after deleting the files and clearing the cache. Very odd. Check the reply I made for details, again thanks for your response.
