BATTLETECH - unable to establish comstar connection

[Xalorous]

One line summary of your issue
unable to establish comstar connection

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
1. Launched game and it crashed. This is the 'new graphics driver version update crash'. (Evidently Paradox is FORCING us to update graphics drivers. You should not force us to update graphics drivers. Unless there's a specific BT related issue patched in the driver. But that's a separate issue.)

2. Updated graphics driver.

3. Launched game to receive 'not signed in'.

4. Attempted to sign in. Every time I try to sign in it says, "Unable to establish ComStar connection."

5. I restarted the game, no change.

6. I am able to log into website with the same account, no issue.

7. Restarted computer, no change.

So, something in the patch process disconnected me from ComStar, and now I am unable to connect.

Steps to reproduce the issue

I tried with a different password and it gave a different error, indicating authentication failure. So this issue is access, not authentication.

You aren't alone... I also have been logged out and cannot reconnect. I am thinking the servers have a problem someplace.

It has nothing to do with graphics drivers though, as I haven't changed a thing and have the same error.

Same thing just happend to me and Ive been gaming all day! Let me the heck in!

 

[Kurnn]

Does it matter to play single play campaign and not be logged in?

 

[RandomTech]

Same. Was fine a few days ago, I get in from work ... nope so sorry.

 

[Malakie]

Add me to the list... thought it was me ... glad it ain't.

 

[KEVINMGXP]

Sadly I can't log in either :s not sure what is going on ...

 

[rav3n]

I guess Comstar, went through with its interdict if Davion invaded the Combine...or I also can't login in.

 

[Kurnn]

Singleplay seams to work fine without logging in. I dont know why I didnt just try that first, heh.

Same but it is NOT the nvidia update driver as i have been using that one since it was released (397.31 version was somewhat flawed) no issues thus far with 397.64.

Everything was fine this afternoon (GMT) but tonight bang no sign in for game with same message. Hope they fix this soon and post on forums
