“Login Failed Please restart or try again later

[grenade]

start game, immediately get “Login Failed Please restart or try again later”. Start game w/o battle eye, immediately get “Login Failed Please restart or try again later”. Uninstall, same thing. verify game files, same thing. reboot, same thing. uninstall reinstall same thing. Click play online get error, click single player, error, co-op, error, friends list error.

searched the forum, other forums. Apparently this is quite a common error, that happens repeatedly after updates. and one with no solution??

Not entirely sure what i’m logging into when I click single player, and I NEVER actually typed a login to anything, so unclear what login information you are using. Perhaps you are using my steam information? who knows. Might want to improve your error messaging. Might want to stop working on other things, and whatever your “big announcement is” and actually focus on fixing this repeating error that seems to be ■■■■■■■ off a lot of people.

Sadly i’m 3.5 hours in, with the game clearly flawed and broken, its too bad it didn’t break in under 2 hours so I could get my money back and buy a game that actually works either on or offline without logging into a mystery server.

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

1. start game with or without battle eye or click play online/singleplayer/co-op or friendslist
2. error

Are you trying to play with steam in offline mode or without internet connection? Your game licence has to be verified before you can play the game. There is no offline mode for PC that is officially supported. It could be your firewall blocking the connection.

‘Login Failed Please restart or try again later’ is the exact message that I and many others got trying to log into the game on a few occasions in the past few weeks - in each case it has been because Steam was down, nothing to do with the game. As I understand it, Funcom Live Services uses the Steam systems right now, so that’s the message you get whether the problem is with Steam or FLS. Not very useful for diagnosing an issue, but as I understand it, the aim of FLS is to allow Funcom to eventually not to be bound to Steam and therefore the game to be accessible whether or not Steam is working. (TBH, right now FLS seems like an extra layer of unneeded verification, but if the aim is to eventually separate and no longer be reliant on Steam, that could be useful.)
