Windows 10, Critical Error - Authentication Failed

[Nitrous]

So I've recently got a new computer (old one is Windows 7, new one is Windows 10). I transferred over my Warhammer folder, open the launcher, log in with my information .. the next thing I know I am in the server loading screen. Nothing shows up in the black log box area to the right that usually says attempting to connect, connection failed, login failed etc., that's completely blank. I've tried rebuilding the performance counters. I've tried making the launcher and war.exe etc. run as administrator all of the time. Neither worked. I am positive my Warhammer folder is not set to read only.

After doing the research on the forum about this issue, it's clear it happens frequently to some people. I've been on and off of the launcher testing to see if it works, complete fail. I've also tried downloading the torrent you guys provide here on the site - fail. Same thing. I've lastly tried downloading the folder in parts which you've provided - fail. Same thing. I've even opened the ports 8048 and 10622 which I found a Game Master suggest on another thread.

I'm completely stumped. I have a successful log in with my old computer, but I get the same thing 100% of the time I try to log in on my new one. After a minute of trying to load the server - Critical Error - Authentication Failed.

Any suggestions?

Few suggestions i can think of Nitrous
Where is the root WAR folder installed at ?

1) Re-download the Launcher
2) Make Sure WAR.Exe isn't being blocked by Anti-Virus/Maware software
3) Disable Third party network manager if you have one

1) Attempted to do so. Same issue.
2) Added an exception for war.exe. Same issue.
3) I don't have any third party network managers.

Where did you end up putting the Warhammer folder at? I wouldn't think its a router issue seeing as it works fine on your network with your other PC.

D:\Program Files (x86\Electronic Arts ....
I tried putting it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts ....

D Drive: Regular hard drive
C Drive: SSD

No change.

I know on mine i have it on the Root Of D:\Warhammer Age of Reckoning (you can try that, but shouldnt really matter)
Then i created a shortcut for the RoR laucher to my desktop.

If that doesnt work there is another suggestion i could give you...

I've tried that unfortunately changing it's location doesn't do much :/

Seems like this issue is happening to a lot of people - One option I Would suggest is using a VPN.

http://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en_us or your choice of VPN software

Step 1) First launch Cyber Ghost 5; select UK from the "Simulated Country" drop down on the bottom left, leave "Simulated IP Address" on the bottom right as Automatic, and then click the "power" button on the bottom middle to connect.

Step 2) Open and log-in with RORLauncher

Step 3) Once you are on the server selection screen, switch over to Cyber Ghost 5 (or whatever VPN service you are using) and disconnect. When connected it may say timed out

Step 4) Go back to the game and click the "Select" button on the server selection screen and it should connect without an issue.

I'm not for using a VPN, is there any other way?

I think some file or setting may of been corrupted when you moved the folder from your Windows 7 machine over to your Windows 7 machine. But you say you have re-downloaded the game since then and its still not working. It wouldn't hurt to try the VPN work around sucks but for now as a temporary fix you would be able to play
