Are you sure the error message says 'Logged off'? Isn't it something along the lines of 'Failed to connect to server'?

I'm guessing he crashes to desktop and sees ASGS saying Logged Off.

Could you clarify Zlam?

I Don't think I have any mods installed unless they came in the normal download,

Mods are a common source of corrupted files. It sounds like the error you're getting is such a case. It's possible to get a corrupted file without applying mods. Try the filemon solution and let us know if there's any files that Allegiance is trying to open, but fails. (That's what we're looking for.)

Conversely, you can uninstall the game, make sure all files are deleted from the installation folder, then try re-installing again.

easiest way for the computer novices is to uninstall, delete your installer, re-download the installer, and install again.

That should make sure that the files are wiped, and that the installer isn't installing corrupted files again.

Ok, Thanks everyone!!! I used FileMon, say some weird things but wasn’t sure what was normal. Un-installed everything, deleted it and re-downloaded it. Works fine now, maybe just a little mishap with the download.

I've been going through the tutorials, I am bad at this game lol.

Thanks aging everybody, hopefully I’ll get better =D
