Hi grateful for help with this error when loading 3DMark from Steam. Was fine a couple of weeks ago when I last ran it, then this weekend all it does is load this window below. No change to hardware.

 

Things I've tried include: reinstalling 3DMark; configuring Windows firewall to allow everything related to 3DMark; forcing launch by 32bit and 64bit.

 

Games on Steam otherwise loading fine, just 3DMark is a problem.

try
changing default browser to chrome (or FF)
reset chrome to default, remove all extensions & add ons
reset internet via control panel
uninstall (yes) any av or firewall you have installed
uninstall any VPNs

 

or , just use another benchmark program.

Looks like its trying to access its own internal web server. Could be anything stopping it from corrupt config, to AV blocking it.

Thanks @1101 and @xpd. I'd tried googling but overspecified the issue so didn't find it - back to google 101 for me.

 

Looks like my VPN software was the issue - disabling it wasn't enough, but after uninstalling it, 3dMark is running again. Now to work out how to make the two play nicely...
