Nope, that's not the issue. If it were, I wouldn't be able to "wait between 2-5 minutes and click submit again, it works straight away".
It's still happening. Always the first time I try it (internet is up and running, because I always go browsing, email checking before playing) and then if I was a short period of time, it works straight away.
It happened during beta, but it was rare then. Since we've went live the problem now seems to be constant.
Well, I was currently in-game, and was switching toons; then I get disconnected from account server, so I close out the program and try to re-enter. Then I get the Unable to Authenticate. I have restarted my computer to see if that for some reason helped, but it did not.
Oh no... I just bought the game, never played it, and I'm seeing the "Unable to authenticate" message as well... Now I'm getting worried, especially after reviewing some of the other player's comments - I hope this isn't an indicator of a very unstable game...
I just got the same issue... we can obviously log into the forum and account, but gives authenticate error on startup... but as you said, wait a couple of minutes or so and then try again and it starts talking. Must just be a bug with the launcher.
Yep same here. First time ever tonight I think. Mine is through Steam, when I verified files it could not verify and is now re-DLing content.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGHH!!!! :mad:

Steam is the gaming equivalent of the devil... It'll constantly make you do things you don't want to do, or need to do. My advice is ditch steam.

Dev's!!!!!!!!!!!!
Log in server is broke!!!!!
interesting enough when i try to access my account info from the website i get the message account server is temporarily down. are the two linked?
Amazingly the wait 5 min solution worked. How odd
But I wait a few minutes.. then a few more... then a couple more to type this message... then I get in... lol.
Thanks for getting back with us so quickly.
edit: And its up. Yay.
coderanger your out of char!
shouldn't the proper response be account server was assimilated and the strike team was sent in to retrieve it
Bear in mind though, that I have my issue when the server is fine, not just when there are wider problems.
