Thanks for posting the error message! This error indicates that the game was unable to establish a loopback connection (i.e. a "connection to itself"). Sometimes this can be caused by issues with the network drivers, but in most cases it's caused by firewalls or antivirus programs. What antivirus program do you use exactly? Adding the game to the exception list of the firewall/antivirus program usually does the trick ;)

I added Steam to the exemption list so I need to add RW?

I'm using malwarebytes

Hmm... malwarebytes usually does not cause such issues... in this case it's more likely an issue with the network drivers.
I'd recommend to download and install the latest network driver from the homepage of your computer/laptop manufacturer.
Alternatively you could try to reset the windows sockets, sometimes Windows messes up the socket configuration. To do that, press your Windowskey + R and type cmd, then enter "netsh winsock reset" (without quot. marks), then restart your computer. But if this doesn't work, I guess a driver reinstall is inevitable...
If reinstalling the driver doesn't help, you could maybe also try to force the game to use your IPv6 stack. To do that, rightclick on RW in Steam -> Properties -> Set launch options -> enter "+ipv6" (without quot. marks) and try to start the game
