B4NGSPL4T Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 First time I've posted here on the forums, but have been playing for the last two weeks extensively.I encountered an issue today that has pretty much put me off from playing again, or at least until said issues are fixed. I had just entered a battle against 7 x 74's with a fellow player and had just started boarding one of them. Very shortly after the first boarding round the game crashed, not just for me but for my friend too. Not a big problem, or was it... After booting up the game again we discovered that we could not log in, we were both receiving the error "Authentication Error: Steam Authentication Server Error". So after restarting my PC, steam, my router, even trying an alternative connection (4G mobile) I could still not get in.This wouldn't normally be an issue, I would just go and do some work or watch a movie and try later, but because of this ridiculous bug, which has no doubt kept both of us in battle, having 7 x 74's unload broadside after broadside, I have now lost my beloved ship which took the best part of 100 hours of game play to find. Not only that but also my boarding mods along with it. I have yet to gain access on to the server, so my hopes are that the game kicked us out of the battle and we haven't lost our ships, but it is doubtful.I understand that the game is in it's alpha and there are bound to be a few issues, but a Classification A bug such as this needs to be resolved. I say this, not only as a tester but as a gamer... This sort of thing really dissuades me from continuing enjoying your game.Kind Regards, B00M.

Bart Smith Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Always wonder how they keep this running - so many accounts and so many data on Steam. Hope they will fix asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 mee too - this must be because the Steam Server is sucha cheap little hunk-a-junk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4NGSPL4T Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 As of now, I cannot gain access again either. I will continue to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Please remember that this is solely on Steam. Naval Action can not control Steam's login system being so....well....bad. Please send all your hate mail to Steam to encourage them to get such a mission critical system working more reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That's actually really good information. Please F11 the next time you're in and give the date/time that this happened so that the Developers can look into it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
