    Hi.

    Yesterday I upgraded from "Win 7 Ultimate x64" to "Win 10 Pro".
    Today I tried to log into the game multiple times via Steam but the game won't start. The little start-screen pops up but after a few seconds I always receive the following error:
    "Server Connection Error: Can't connect to server. Error code: 12157".
    I searched the forum for "12157" but haven't found anything.

    I dont know if it has something to do with the windows-upgrade. Its only a presumption but its obvious cuz the day before with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I didnt have any probs.
    I reinstalled the nVidia driver but it didn't help.

    Are there any suggestions for this?

    System
    Windows 10 Pro
    nVidia GTX 670 (with newest official nVidia driver (355.82) installed)


    Regards..

    Seems that nobody has a clue what exactly to do in my case.
    Glad I found the solution for ME.

    After a deep journey into the secrets of SSL and TLS security protocols (from which I still don't have a clue), I was close to the point of giving up.
    To make a long story short..
    It turns out that the TLS settings on "Internet Options - Advanced - Security" weren't set correctly during the migration process from Win7 to Win10.
    I had to enable the TLS settings 1.1 & 1.2 and the game launches smooth as it did before without having to reboot the PC.

    I attach two screens of the relevant settings. One from Win7 and one from Win10.

    Hope this will help others in the future..

    Only similar but not the same.

    I saw and tried this too yesterday or the day before (cant remember) without having success.
