Challenge Mode (Able to Log In) Working?

Harry_BallSack · 03-22-2018, 09:24 PM

Not sure its a bug, could just be me!

I get some message on the startup menu that says Could not connect to the online services. Don't see a log in oppty for username password etc.. Anyone else have an issue here or am I dense and cant figure out how to log in?

bump

IanIachimoe · 03-24-2018, 03:24 AM

it says I'm logged in during the game but doesn't seem like I'm earning any achievements.

Harry_BallSack · 03-24-2018, 03:38 AM

Did it allow you to log in or was it automatic? I have no option to log in at all, even when I'm logged in like now on forums that doesn't seem to matter either

@Harry: Which OS (Windows / Mac / Linux) and which platform (Steam / Origin / OOTP) are you using?

@IanIachimoe: Is your internet stable? If your internet is gone while getting an achievement it could be skipped.

It logs in automatically for me, and is tracking my achievements. The only issue I had was that as long as I was using the beta (Early release) version it didn't work. When I installed the release version it starting working correctly.

So I purchased through the website (as I always have last 15 installments

) and I am running Windows

OOTP Website to be exact

I installed the game & was logged in automatically.

very stable. I should add that I have only played 2-3 games so far, so giving it a couple more. thought there were front office achievements, could be wrong.

IanIachimoe · 03-24-2018, 11:36 AM

just logged in today & no auto log in for challenge mode & lost the 3 games I played last night.

where can you manually log in to Challenge Mode?

Are you sure that you are looking at the OOTP19 tab in your profile?

just did. thanks again! everything seems to be working now.

I do have a couple, they just never popped up after advancing the day like they did in 18 (IIRC).

Harry_BallSack · 03-24-2018, 03:29 PM

yeah I don't have a log in at the bottom at all, even on booting up so I am completely confused.

At bottom it attempts to connect always then times out and I get the message I don't have an internet connection

completely confused

Are you sure it isn’t being blocked by your firewall?

Harry_BallSack · 03-24-2018, 03:32 PM

yeah positive but maybe this is problem I'm running beta build 2... was the launch day file different?

Harry_BallSack · 03-24-2018, 03:40 PM

SOLVED btw, thank you all - the issue was I was running Beta 2 build, hadn't d/l release day file - so did that reinstalled, I am good to go and can log in fine!

TigerGDK · 05-26-2018, 02:36 AM

We had this problem last year, seemingly randomly.

I have finally solved it on my end at least.
My wireless has two connections available -- Netgear73 and Netgear73-5G (ditto w/ my other network).

OOTP connects perfectly well, as long as my network selected is NOT the 5G network. For some reason, the 5G network will not allow connection to the online services/challenge mode.

Hope this helps someone!
