Create practice game, gets to 45% and nothing happens

[nachitox]

The same thing is happening when i try to watch a replay or launch a practice game, it shows the loading bar, gets to 45%, then nothing happens, the loading bar just disapears and that's it.
I tried re-installing the game.
I'm on a Mac-book pro OSx 10.6.6, and there's no error, it just stops.

Hey,

Sorry for the delay, have you tried completely reinstalling the game (that includes removing the folder in Users/Library/Application Support/.

If you haven't try that, and if it still happens Please upload (http://tools.heroesofnewerth.com/upload.php) your console.log and post the url.

Ok, thanks, I'll try that tonight and update tomorrow.

Tried erasing everything related to the game.

Just uploaded the console.log
The Mac console file 'console.log.zip' has been uploaded.

Guys, i really want to be able to use the practice mode, any ideas on what's wrong?

Well, looking at your console.log, it says it can't find localhost (your computer). Do you have any kind of "security" software running? Ie. a firewall or anti virus software?

What happens if you open your terminal and type in "ping localhost"?

Also, what is the output of "ifconfig -a"?

Im going to try and see why the localhost call is failing.

Thank you Tobias!!!
You can mark this as SOLVED :D
It seems that all the problem was the localhost not resolving.

Solution:
I added 127.0.0.1 localhost to the /etc/hosts file and It's all working now.
That's a default on many computers but for some reason mine was modified.

Glad you got it working.
