Possible Solution for "Problem at Launcher/Auth Fail"

[DevilMagic]

Sup bros,

I was having the same problem, tried the suggested solutions, and didn't have any luck. By suggested solutions, I mean running launcher as admin, un-checking read only for the game folder and propagating permissions for all subfolders, performance counter rebuild, turning off windows firewall/defender, and I even adjusted the authentication failure period from 24 to 48 (hey, I was desperate...) and still no joy.

What actually DID work was deleting (actually, renaming as backups) my texture cache folders. e.g. cache -> cache_bak and cache_test -> cache_test_bak. I have no idea why this worked, but I remember having to make adjustments to delete my texture cache files upon startup when I was having trouble with Dragon Age: Inquisition a while back. Once that was done, my next log in was successful.

Anyway, just another thing to try if you're stuck and have tried everything else. Good luck.
