Thanks again.

It's because the first time the game loads it tests and sees if you're connected and when that happens, your software firewall has to ask you questions about settings up a rule.

Whenever I install a new game, before I play it, I always assign the game's .exe file firewall permissions. Before I started doing that, I had all sorts of problems like this.
