F1 2013 RaceNet Connection Issue

[Savage1969]

Good morning,

Is anyone else experiencing issues not being able to connect to RaceNet within game? I can connect via any web browser, but in game it refuses to connect (though I'll admit it's been several months since I last played) and I never had issues before. Infamous message is "The RaceNet service is not available. Please try again later." Joining MP is no problem, only RaceNet.

Things I've tried include: verified that "lead account" is set to Steam via web browser in RaceNet's account settings, logged out and logged in to website using Steam credentials versus manually typing in username/pass, verified files via Steam, deleted userdata (223670) and allowed game to recreate fresh files, verified all ports are open, no firewall blocks, etc.

Any help is appreciated. I will follow up if I find a resolution.

Regards.
