TWS updated to a new build and now I can't get IB Gateway to load. It just hangs on "Initializing environment" every time. Build 931.2.

I'm going to try a few things, but hoping someone else knows of a quick fix...

I was going to post about this, getting the same problem. Tried re-installing at a different location, turning off the firewall, etc...nothing helped.

Here's the log:

TWS loads fine. IB Gateway still won't load, even after TWS started fine.

OK thanks, maybe it is some sort of IB error then since it is happening to both of us same time. Their status page doesn't indicate any problem, but that is worthless because I've had connections be 'red' before and their status page show everything great.

I'll give it a couple hours...

I use the standard TWS: no problem. Tried the gateway just for fun and get the same result as you: hangs on initialization.
