Problems logging into the FaForever Lobby

[Pellefant]

Hi!

I recently had to reinstall windows and start installation of FAF and such from scratch again.
The problem now is that I can't seem to login with my user. Now as I clearly don't remember my password for certain I had to create a new one just to be certain that wasn't the flaw.

Install:
Downloaded and installed this version: http://88.191.143.136/faforever/FaForeverLobby.msi
Also tried copying the faLobby.lib manually as you mentioned that problem for Taras.
(Note that everything below is tried with original and copied version of this file)

OS:
Fresh install of XP updated with latest patches
Windows firewall disabled
Nothing but Chrome, Steam and SupCom installed. Oh and some drivers for the machine of course. But most importantly I haven't installed any security software which should limit access.
Everything worked perfect before new install of windows.

User:
Created the user abcd with password abcd which I'm using to login with.

The problem is as follows:
Started forged Alliance
Clicked Cancel on the "Welcome to FA Forever Lobby"
Arrive at the login screen
Type in login: abcd password: abcd
Hit Login button.
Nothing happens

If I try to enter a wrong password or no password at all I get the message:
"FA Server down
The server is down for main... etc..."

And it is very clear that it has two different reactions with the correct password and a faulty one. So it clearly reacts to the login.

Apart from me being unable to connect you should probably consider adding the message: "Wrong password" as well as, when you find the time, a function for us helpless people to recover the password when we forget it.


Kind regards,
Pellefant

The recover function will come with the new server.

For your problem, it's maybe due to a WMI error.

Are you on XP SP2 ? Have you got a firewall or a antivirus ? If so, try by disabling both.
If it doesn't work, I can look at the problem with Teamviewer (don't fear it, I won't break anything, but it's easier for me to see what happens exactly, and I can run some debug mode , it will be easier for me to debug.

TAG_Seton had the same problem, it solved ... well, I don't know how

You can connect through irc to contact me, or pm me on GPGNet when I'm there.

You can't use more than one account on the same computer, you are automatically disconnected.

[taras]

But the account stops working until I created a new one.
You can make so that I only have one account? login taras

[Ze_PilOt]

I rename your current one taras ?

[taras]

Yes. I need only one working account = TARAS.
all others must be removed

[taras]

I need only one working account = TARAS.
