Weird buggy reasons for not being able to log in:

Using numpad for numbers seems to produce Unrecognized Name or Password error.

I am getting the Username/Password unrecognized error now.

Update: I created a second account to see if it was just me typing in my info wrong and still get the same issue with the new account. I was able to log in with the first one yesterday but have not been able to get in since then.

When I load up the game client and try to log in to Dawntide I receive a message that reads, “Error Connecting to Server.”

I tried both my game accounts and I am still getting the Username Password unrecognized error when trying to log into the game. I guess Ill check back in a few weeks and see if this is ever resolved.

‘Unrecognized username / password’ sufferers

Ronin is working to make sure the game login rules within client and the game login creation on the website match up. The change will likely be in tomorrow. In the meantime, if your account names or passwords contain and non a-z/A-Z/0-9 characters, this is likely the problem. If your password contains any special characters, do a password reset and set it to something that does not. If your login contains special characters (including spaces), please rename it. Both of these can be accessed using the same method as game account creation, just select the option you want (Reset Password/Rename Account) from the dropdown. If you cannot login after doing this, please send a PM to ronin.

Using the num pad was my problem. That is indeed very strange, thank you though Rari. :)

I’m getting the failed to connect to server message too. What do you do when that happens. I want to update the game so I can play it but I can’t even get to the game weather updated or not.
