Incorrect Authorization Key

[Lannistark]

Thing is I can't join any EU servers, it just says Incorrect Authorization Key. NA servers are fine, native servers are fine, everything else is fine. What could be triggering this shit, anyone has any idea?

I've tried both reinstalling mod, reinstalling warband, deleting all registry files and re-entering the serial key... Nothing has worked thus far.

Any help, as always, appreciated.

For how long have you had this? This sometimes happens at random.

[Lannistark]

First time this happened was like 5 months ago. I left the mod for some months came back, it still remains there.

You mean to tell me you've had this issue (non-stop) for 5 months? If so, you should seek help on Taleworlds forums.

2) Find the use_secure_connection = 1 and change it to 0.

3) If it's already 0 change it to 1

4) Save and Start Warband.

Solution 6

1) Go into Multiplayer.

2) Host your own game and start Map and spawn.

3) Quit and press start search.

If all else fails

1) Close down any apps accessing the internet.
2) Start Warband windowed and go to the MP page where you can click 'Join a server'.
3) Start Wireshark.
4) On Window 7 my wireless adaptor is listed a simply "Microsoft", so Start capture on interface: Microsoft (On XP I think it listed the adaptor type)
5) Click on Join a server.
You will see a load of coloured entries showing up on the Wireshark screen, this process normally completes in a few seconds.
6) Click Capture, Stop. File, Saveas, etc.
You could zip and attach whole log to the bug report, its not very big or look for the "GET /handlerservers.ashx?" one Daegoth requested, right-click and select 'Follow TCP Stream'.

If all above methods fail, there's a very small chance (like 0.5%) this will help you out. Worked for me a few times.

from cmd (Windowskey +R enter cmd, press enter)
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig/renew

Note: the first command will drop your internet connection, enter the last one to reactivate. The middle command will clear your dns cache.
