Authentication failed?

[dorokjee]

Just downloaded the 1.31 full build for the main server. It passes the login screen and I choose campaign. It launches the loading graphic and i can see it do the connect to host routine, but it gets authentication failed and quits to desktop.

^^^ Same here.

you running win 7?

if you so may need to make sure u are running WWIIOL as administrator.

If not.

sounds kind of like something to do with a firewall.

No. XP here. Was playing the game before update was pushed. Logged out to download update, installed it and error began after the new install. Have reset my cable modem, router and etc.

[dorokjee]

XP SP 3 here. Turned off all firewalls and shields, nada. Still throws the error.

I'm using Vista, got beta to run, can't get campaign to run. Very strange.

After thinking a bit more about some of the hints others gave here's what I did and it's now working again for me.

I had installed the latest full install after un-installing the previous.

I then downloaded the following and installed it;

http://installers.wwiionline.com/wwiiol13101311.exe

Launched the game and am in now. Maybe coincidence... maybe not. But worked for me. Good luck to those sharing in this.

I DID NOT uninstall 1.31.1 before installing the file referenced above as it's the update versus the full install.

S!

I tried patching thru the launch and it could connect to the patch server.

So I went to downloads and downloaded/installed and now I get this pop-up.

However:

I was able to patch thru the launch in beta and able to get into the game world.

Uninstalled and reinstalled wwiiol0001311.exe 550mb, tried wwiiol000013111.exe 550mb too, same pop-up.

Comon CRS you got me hooked with 1.31, now giv meh fix bac! i'm getting the shakes...

Re-patching the full install with that latest small patch fixed the issue for me as well. Good call.

[adder]

Same things happening for me, it seems to have suddenly happened a few hours ago.

[dkamerad]

I had this, redownloaded patch to 1.31.1 and reinstalled it, all fine on my end.

[avongunn]

I did the installer but it did not fully run said it couldnt open a foile.. WHen I try and run the game on entering Campaine I get the msg that it failed because libiomp5md.dll was not found.. I have reinstalled the full version twice and same problem

[stang]

After many times uninstalling/deleting folder and reinstalling the full install wwiiol0001311.exe which would return the:

Authentication Failed pop-up.

I decided to rip everything out again and install the full install wwiiol0001310.exe

and then install the incremental patch wwiiol13101311.exe

which worked! Finally!

[mangl]

lol I had same problem

yer gunna kickyourself it was so easy

I couldnt log in - authentication failed (multiple times)

so I try again = my comp "remembers" my log in name , but I erased and retyped it = worked , logged in and played

so at log in screen just erase and retype your log in name (silly n wierd 1 but it works) = perhaps the install added a space where 1 should not have been I dunno /shrug
