Does anyone know ANYTHING at all? This only happened after I tried installing the steam version of the game, and neither of them worked.

It's not the internet, because I can play Siege and a bunch of other games with absolutely fine connection with a ping of about 20-50 usually.

Do have the standalone MWO client and the steam MWO client on your hard drive at the same time?
Cause if you do they can conflict with each other(did for me), you'll have to delete the one you don't want to use.

If not then did you run the repair tool?

In fact, for the nuclear option, I'd remove the both the Steam client and the standalone (uninstall completely), then reinstall the Steam one, to reset any settings in the registry etc

"It's the only way to be sure"

I've done all of this, and reinstalled the steam version, which didn't work, then I uninstalled that and installed the regular client.

Did you verify the steam game cache?

I've done literally everything.

You have tried both the 64 and 32 bit clients? Directx 9 and 11?

Uninstall both clients, go through the registry, CAREFULLY PLEASE, do a search for Mechwarrior and PGI, delete entries. Then delete your MWO profile from your C:\users\YOU\saved games\ folder. Also delete the game's folder under Steamapps, and program files for the non-steam version.

Delete temp files.

Clear DNS cache.

Just throwing everything out there now:
Disable UAC and run it.
Disable AV if you have one and run it.
Disable Windows firewall and run it.
Try running as it an admin.
Make sure it's not running compatibility mode for some reason.

Sounds nuts, but reboot your router - that fixed it for me :|

Running out of ideas here, lol.
