    Hello, when ever i try to launch the game i am greeted with this error:

    *Error: Unable to download HTTP::Exception: Unknown protocol in response: Date:{Sun, 27 Mar 2016 08:36:36 GMT;;Last-Modified: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 02:55:25 GMT} (64.37.169.11) - http://manifest.patch.daybreakgames.../live/planetside2-live.sha.soeHTTP::Exception: Unknown protocol in response: Date:{Sun, 27 Mar 2016 08:36:36 GMT;;Last-Modified: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 02:55:25 GMT} (64.37.169.11) - http://manifest.patch.daybreakgames.../live/planetside2-live.sha.soeHTTP::Exception: Unknown protocol in response: Date:{Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:23:42 GMT;;Last-Modified: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 02:55:25 GMT} (64.37.169.11) - http://manifest.patch.daybreakgames.../live/planetside2-live.sha.soeHTTP::Exception: Unknown protocol in response: Date:{Sun, 27 Mar 2016 08:36:36 GMT;;Last-Modified: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 02:55:25 GMT} (64.37.169.11) - http://manifest.patch.daybreakgames.com/patch/sha/manifest8m�

    i can say for sure this is not an anti-virus problem because i've added exceptions for the launchpad and the game
    and i tried running it with AV disabled.(Kaspersky)

    It happened the second time i launched the game after installation, so i reinstalled it and it ran fine.
    second time i ran it after the reinstallation this error arrived again.

    Can't find anything online about this issue, please help, i came back from a break and i'd like to keep playing this game.

    Well, you're in luck! Because i found a fix a long time ago.
    Write in search %appdata% and hit enter. You'll be put in a folder called 'Roaming'.
    go one folder back to a folder called 'AppData' and you'll find a folder called 'LocalLow'
    In that folder you'll find Daybreak's folder called 'Daybreak Game Company'.
    Erase that folder completely, and let the launcher regenerate it.
    You should be able to launch the game.
    Do this evey single time you get this error. For me it workes 100% of times.
    I already have a shortcut to that folder so i could erase it quickly.
