Level of your character:
6 Pirates, five level 65s, one level 6.

The Character Selection Screen.

Description of the bug:
After logging into the Pirate101 Test Realm Launcher, it finishes patching with seconds, which I know means something is wrong. When it brings me into Character Selection, the only thing it patches is the Shared World data and some critical animation. It does not patch anything else. When I attempt to play on a character, it tells me this area is not ready, but no patching occurs afterwards.

Every Time

Other information:
I have already tried uninstalling Pirate101 Test, restarting my computer, reinstalling, and adjusting my Proxy settings as it recommended before I uninstalled it.

UPDATE: 2:24 P.M.

After encountering the same error with the Live Realm Launcher, I went through a complicated series of Window's firewalls rules with Protocols and Program Rules and whatnot and I have been able enter the game itself. However, the only world I seem to be able to play in is Cool Ranch, and even then, nothing is loading in the world. All I see is the Skyway I am in, no enemy ships, no players, not even my character.

Thanks, I sent a ticket previously for the Live Realm Launcher issue since they said they could not assist with Test Realm Launcher issues.

UPDATE: 4:23 P.M.
I have resolved the issue with the Live Realm Launcher. It seems the problem may have been caused after I uninstalled a program called "Privoxy". I believe this caused the Patch Client to lose connection to the servers due to my internet using Proxy LAN servers.
