Yup changing characters logged out now unable to authenticate. Man I really need to look into finding a new game with better servers to spend my free time
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

The hilarious part is that the server status on the client says it's still functioning and online.

Oh well, been meaning to see if I could make SFC III or Armada 2 work on my new laptop anyways. Thank you Cryptic for scheduling time for me to do this, lol.

The thing is, the servers themselves are probably still up. This is an issue with the authentication server. The game probably has a constant authentication check, and should the authentication server go do, every player goes with it, even if the game servers themselves are fine.
I've passed the info up the chain and they're working on it folks.

Same here, Server Status says up, "Unable to authenticate: Connection to the Account Server timed out."
Kind of sad to see this piled on top of all the "Lag, Rubberbanding, Disconnects" threads. It's like Cryptic has no clue how their servers are functioning.
Boom goes the authentication server, again. Seems like it's at least once a week. I feel like I should just play one character per session; jumping toons gets me booted.
"Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out"
Same. It's bad enough Sparklight is working on the lines around here, resulting in intermittent signal down, but when I'm online, the game says "Unable to authenticate..."
Now a LTS and loving it.
Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything.
9/6/2019: Can't login, just get the immediate message "Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server has timed out", been happening all morning off and on, now seems to be permanent until a dev does something.

Devs report to the agony booth.
You must be disciplined.

'Unable to authenticate. Connection to the server timed out.'

Sure hope so! Time is money.
