Since I updated from Windows Vista to Windows 8 - and reinstalled Dynasty Warriors Online - every time I try to log in after launching the program as normal, my internet connection is disconnected upon hitting 'Start Game'. This appears to be unique to DYnasty Warriors Online specifically - other programs, both games and otherwise, do not cause this to occur, and I have confirmed that it is not a coincidental router issue.
I am able to circumnavigate this issue by using the 'launch as Administrator' command, but even with that, while I can reach the page where I input my login name/password, the connection is interrupted during login and I am kicked back to the title screen time and again.
