Here is the temporary solution, to play Earth & Beyond:
Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced: Uncheck "Check for server certificate revocation*", and then restart your computer.
As soon as this issue is fixed, please put the checkpoint back there, and restart your computer, once again.
NOTE: Be careful in what websites you are visiting, because no certificates will be checked, for revocation!!
EDIT: I have put this on SERVER STATUS (current) as well.
