You are welcome, indeed, DanteColtz, I am just pleased to know that your access to the land of Ancaria has been achieved and that now a new hero has arrived to aid the denizens there, making their world a better place!
Yeah I still get the Connection (10) pre-reinstallation regardless of having the CM patch or not. However after reinstalling it works regardless of the community patch. I am uncertain if the legacy PhysX is the reason for the turn around, but I've seen others on steam who use the legacy PhysX still has similar issues.
