Just had this after finally getting through and patching.
No Errors just a drop back to desktop, on trying to run the War.exe file it gives an error about missing d3dx9_34.dll
This file can be picked up around the web, although I went for a reload of the directx files from the microsoft site - Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime
Seems to have sorted that problem, now loads the game and can get to the server select menu.
Hope this is useful for any others having the same prob.
