Game stuck on Authenticating

Well, just got crashed and then got Authenticating error. Solved it in 10 minutes: verified game files via steam, then launched the game with \steamapps\common\World War 3\WW3_launcher.exe

Doesn't work sadly.

 

Although it does add a new entry in the Windows Defender FW menu each time you try to run it(ended up with 4 entries pointing to "WW3_launcher.exe"). Apparently the only region I can get into is "NA/SA", not even "PTE".

But I did notice that there are two entries currently, one came after starting in "EU/AF" region and the second one after running in "NA/SA" region(which worked). After that running the "Play WW3" and "AS/OC" didn't add a new entry(and didn't work). Perhaps it's due to the flags given to the executable?

@weedtime Maybe merge these topics if you see fit? So that if a solution is found it can be used by all.

have you tried to disable windows defender? It might be blocking something i guess.

Tried that, didn't work. Still only "NA/SA" region only.

Anyone who still stuck on authenticating screen:

Send me via PM

-steamID (link to your steam account)
-Your IP address (https://www.myip.com/) Make sure you're not connected through VPN and IP which you provide is from your local PC on which you trying to play.
-MS region which you trying to connect (if you can't connect to any of them, type your main region) if you live in Europe, just write "EU". North America "NA", etc.

Thanks.

It's recent and will probably stay temporarily as stated.

"You will be able to connect shortly as the changes will be made to our MS."

It'll be most likely fixed before the free weekend so this month perhaps.

Yeah I understand....

Now we have to play on 300+ ping and unlock everything again, just because someone saw a YouTube tutorial. What fun.
