City of Villians game will not connect

My compute is xp, and I just moved and hooked up with a new internet svc. The
Wildblue Sat high speed. After hooking it up, My on-line game "City of
Villians" will not connect even though I do have internet svc as I can log on
to my aol acct. and internet explorer. I even uninstalled the game and
reinstalled but to no avail. Other programs such as Vent and HeroStats will
connect, only not my game. Please share some advice. Thanks

Try disabling the Windows Firewall and see if that fixes it. If it does, you
can make an exception in the Firewall that allows the game to play online.

Satellite Service? Is it like a DirecTV dish that uses a modem for uploads?

Satellite service isn't all that reliable with a lot of online games because your ping times are usually extremely high. I would call tech support for City of Villains (NC Soft, look in your manual for a contact phone number) and have them troubleshoot your setup. It's either your connection takes too long to respond to the servers or some other setting on your system is causing a problem.

Either way, NC Soft should be able to help.
