OctoWow - Forums

It's been 2 days now since I was able to log in. Went from playing without issue and 40ms to staring at "Connecting" then "Disconnected from Server"

I've tried all the tweaks and fixes, even deleted original install and starting afresh. Totally out of ideas and not hearing anything hopeful. I just wanna play

Who knows, they've been completely silent on like half the population being unable to log in. It's crazy

I'm actually having the same problem as OP. Hopefully devs will talk about it soon.

Whenever I have trouble logging in, I just start up ProtonVPN and it usually fixes the problem. It's only needed to get past the authentication server.

I was playing okay up until last night. This morning I tried logging in and had same sequence of "Connecting" and "Disconnected from server". I've been using the launcher and noticed there was an update. After updating, I saw an option on the launcher for "Priority sign in". I clicked it and this prompted me to login to a web portal and complete a captcha. After all that, I was able to finally get in.

adding .dll file using launcher -> mods window helped

Take a look at this; personally, it helped me. You need to add the downloaded file to the Octowow launcher in the "MODS and Add DLL" section.
