    Yep. I am as well. Has to be the server itself.

    I'm getting the same "Account server connection failed" message whenever I try to log in.

    Please fix this.

    You guys are lucky you can even log in. I can't even pull the game up without seeing "Account server connection failed" and being logged out automatically. (It's my wife's birthday weekend. I have to wonder - did she pay off Cryptic to make this happen...?)

    It's still happening. It's very erratic for me; occasionally it will let me back on right at the login, occasionally I have to restart the client, and then occasionally I'm just out of luck and can't log in at all.

    My friend has this issue as well, and it's just as unpredictable, only it's been less lenient on him and just won't let him on often.

    Both of us are automatically disconnected from the server whenever we try to swap characters, no matter which it is doing. Several people have indicated the same issue in-game as well.

    I hope this is something that can be fixed soon.

    It still happening to me whenever I try to switch to another character. I had to relog just to switch characters.

    The connection issues seem to come in a couple different flavors:
    • - can’t connect to the character select screen
    • - Can select a character but then can’t get to a map
    • - Can get to a map, it then have no real interaction with it, rubberband, no chat, etc
    • - Disconnect with out a SNR message
    • - Disconnect when trying to change characters
    • - Server cannot connect to character creation stuff.

    This was happening on the Live server and PTS.

    Same. Neverwinter is having a maintenance this morning and I think they share login servers. Maybe that's the problem.

    Ok I have had this issue in the past. Today I have been getting this error message for 30 minutes. I have tried restarting my computer and nothing seems to work.
  • mithrosnomoremithrosnomore Posts: 521 Arc User
    It's working again.

    At least for now.

    If you are getting account server timeouts, please open the options menu in the launcher and set your proxy to none. There is an ongoing issue with the US proxy.

    Thanks for your help!

    And... how do you do this when you can't log into the launcher because it times out?
