Can you get to character select on a different server? Try connecting to Red and then a non-P99 server, and post dbg.txt afterwards.

Yes, I can get on a diff server, just none of the P99, (blue, red, green).

Looks like you're being denied authentication somewhere before it gets to the log in server. Most likely on your end, your ISP, router or something on your firewall (if you have one)..

But I haven't changed anything on my end. 4 days ago, it just stopped working. I tried running windows defender firewall off, and still no luck. I just can't figure it out.

Do you have any other accounts you could try logging in with? This was an account specific issue for one poster with the same debug error you're getting.

ipconfig /flushdns seemed to fix it for a a lot of others.

One poster had it resolved by updating their router's firmware.

A few people reported issues with P99 having issues with AT&T.

This could be an issue with something your ISP has put into place, but there's no good way to know if this is the case without just calling them.

Om tethered on a cell, always have been, so it can't be router. I dont have ATT. and I tried the flushdns to no avail.

I just dont know what changed from 4 days ago. A few in my guild are also experiencing the same thing.

Ive been having issues with my win10 for too long. Now I'm having "timedout" issues.
Ive submitted a thread. I've been playing on the PEQ server waiting for the blue to server issues to get fixed.
