it might have been an update but it didn't resolve my 503 error. I can't even load the game, it will look like it's loading but after about 5 minutes of a black screen I get the 503 error and a message saying "Unable to connect to server".

I have uninstalled/reinstalled it, I've disabled my firewall, and have verified the integrity of the game cache but still not loading

when you uninstalled and reinstalled did you move/delete your users folder ? as sometimes this can be an issue
if not make a copy of it remove it , turn of any browser and restart the game ... if it works you can then turn offthe game and copy across anywheel profiles you may have

Yep I did that Andi, renamed my user folder and even installed the game on a different partition. It's a bummer because I bought a lot of DLC during Black Friday sale and I wanted to play

thanks for the help though
