Though it may have worked before, many things can happen over time to a computer that you never realise. I think there's conflicting or corrupted software somewhere - nothing serious, just troublesome. It could be Fiesta itself, but since you're experiencing problems accessing the cash shop through your browser I think it's a little deeper.

I suspected it was a problem with your browser, anti-virus, .NET framework or MTU settings. I was going to suggest re-installing, but since you were having problems accessing the shop from your browser I didn't want to go with that.

Here's my little checklist of what I'd like you to do, in order of ease. Feel free not to take any of them on board if you'd rather wait for a response from Outspark.

Are you running the latest internet explorer? If not, try updating it. The fiesta store in-game communicates to the server using IE. I find IE a sub-par browser, particularly it's older generations (5.x, 6.x). I suspect a necessary script isn't running properly, if at all. Unfortunately there isn't a way to reconfigure Fiesta store to use your default browser, it's forced to use IE.

Update or reinstall your .NET framework. I've found that Fiesta.bin errors are largely associated with a corrupted .NET framework.

If you have the McAfee on CD or you're able to reinstall it without trouble, try uninstalling it completely and using AVG temporarily. Though it has great detection, sometimes McAfee can be a little too thorough, denying safe applications necessary access to files.

My last solution is changing your connection's MTU. I had trouble accessing the store and uploading files once upon a time. Apparently my router's MTU settings were not working well with Fiesta at all. Using TCPOptimizer I was able to change my MTU and get both the Fiesta store and uploading working. I recommend a setting of 1492 - click optimal and then set it. It's a setting on your PC, so it is fully reversible. The MTU (maximum transmission unit) defines the size of the packets your PC sends over the internet. Big packets are liable to data loss, small packets less likely.

I can't guarantee a fix, but I can at least give it a shot. Hopefully one of these work for you. Otherwise I'll be very interested in any solution you receive from Outspark.
