Hi, @Kagami !
I am jumping into this thread. Because it would seem that the forum will not allow me to create a new post topic yet.
I experience the Authentication Failed 10010 error EVERY DAY. But only ONCE, upon the very first launch. I will explain further.
I am running on Windows 7 (I know, I knowā¦), and I originally had the auth error that completely prohibited me from running the game at all. I went through the very well published steps, and disabled IPv6, setting TLS 1.2, etc. I did take the āshotgunā approach, but I believe that either removing IPv6 or setting TLS 1.2 were key in resolving my issue.
But now I realize I am still having the auth error once per day. After maintenance (assuming 5-6am et), when I try to launch the game for the first time, I will get the 10010 auth error. When I launch the game for a second time, I am always able to get connected (no further errors).
Being an IT guy, Iāve worked this out in my head thinking that perhaps it is some kind of a server name resolution issue. I tried to Google to learn the names of the Lost Ark auth servers. I was thinking that if I could ping or port query them prior to launching the game, I could circumvent the first time launch auth failure that I am having to endure. Which is annoying. The game takes a long time to launch. So, for me, I have that long time multiplied by 2 - at least at the start of the day.
The more I think about it, I suspect that something changes overnight or during the maintenance. And for whatever reason, that auth server is throwing me out on my heels due to likely a failure to encrypt on the āfirstā pass. But the second pass always lets me in. I donāt know if this has something to do with the name resolution, or caching sequence. Auth server VIP passes me off to a auth real, but the 10010 failure is already reported. On the second go, the load balancer keeps my session (sticky), and thus I am able to auth with the real.
If there is any feedback about things I can try to prevent this first launch failure, I would love to see it. Also - I am hoping that my experience can provide your team with insight about how the auth failures are happening at all - in hopes that you can improve the auth sequence behind the scenes to make things smoother for everyone.
Thank you!
