maybe this will help

(also look in task manager in the background processes and see if you see something called hipatchservice I believe that that's the authenticate tool I could be wrong though)

weird still did you check if hipatchservice is in the background processes (it should run always at least is doesn't close when you stop playing smite)

if it's not there try to start it manually it's in the Hi-Rez studios folder (C:\program files (x86)\Hi-Rez studios)

if it is running it's odd that it can't connect.

So here its looking all the time like this '' http://postimg.org/image/lttj9k009/ '' and if i restart the HiPatchService it looks like this http://postimg.org/image/hok8jmuqz/ so yesterday it worked great but now its stuck in that loading phase and when im searching for the HiPatchService its already started to.

weird. have you tried running smite as administrator? because maybe your pc is blocking something because it isn't started as administrator (I have had this certain time when it needed to patch and it also helped when my LoL patcher didn't start up because of not being able to connect to something.)

Okay i made a reset to a point where i could play the game so i start the launcher in administrator mode and erverything fine really i start the game but then after a few seconds the error occurs and it says failed to initialize assembly file the solution is to download the game into the Folder C: but its already in there i really got no idea
