Hello,
I am unable to play the game any more as I am receiving the following message at start up:
Login error. you may have missing or stale registry data.
Got this as well. I quit the game, and restarted it several times, but the issue still came up. Then I ran it as admin. No problems thereafter, even when no longer running as admin.
Still getting this problem. Running as administrator doesn't help. Uninstalled and re-installed, and still no luck.
I think it sometimes just has problems connecting. I think it goes to connect to the servers every time it starts up.
Yeah, sometimes the servers are a bit slow. Just keep trying. This connection is only required in beta versions.
Still getting the same error with .85. Very frustrating!
If you have changed your password recently you need to hit CTRL+TAB to open the menu and change the login info. (changed my password the other day and had to do it)
Should be the same info you use to long onto the elemental forums.
Thank you Fistalis, you have saved me! You are now my official hero. Much karma to you!
