Can't play Albion, at all.

Stoozey · Jul 19th 2019, 3:59pm

I've been trying to play Albion for I think 3 days, I launch from steam, the game launcher opens, I see the easy-anti-cheat startup, I connect, login, I can play for about 10 seconds until it then boots me out of the game.
If I try again the same just happens forever. If I stay on the character select screen instead of trying to play, I get an error message from easyanti cheat, saying I was disconnected. This is what I dont understand?
I'm not cheating so that's out of the question, there are two links that they suggest checking and if you get a HTTP OK message all is good, that's what I got. Also the page said it could be a virus.. I don't understand the reason that should effect it but I know I don't have any viruses (I did a full system scan last night and nothing was found). I've set Albion folders to my exclusions lists just incase it was my antivirus and still nothing works.
I'm really lost here, just when this anniversary stuff starts I can't even play the damn game. Is there any other reason that this is happening?

Try exitlag vpn. You can use it for free only with albion until august 15. Maybe it will help you.

It sometimes works for me, other times it doesnt work Albion is a huge mess right now with this problem. Worst of all is that they gave 25% fame bonus... And a huge amount of players cant benefit from that bonus because we cant play without getting dc.

The error could be misleading. Sometimes EAC will show a message when there is connection problems. But the message would be unrelated to the problem.

Try a VPN.

It's a known fact most people are not affected. I am getting 25% bonus, no problems.

Exitlag nor a VPN does anything for me sadly.

Use this to find everything that gets started on your system. Uninstall/disable anything you don't need. Some of them could be causing a problem.

First off, thank you for that link - cleaning up my startup was something I've been meaning to do. Unfortunately I still cannot connect to Albion!

zKL · Jul 20th 2019, 4:03am

yeah,
My problem is, the black screen, the time to enter with a character, the game took me out the moment I enter the market of lymhurst the bank of lymhurst, my theory is that my person was caught in the connection of those portals, since with another character I can enter normal to the game
any GM? need help please, id: zKL

What I don't get is how it seems to happen to other people but in really different ways? Some people can play for 5 minutes, some a couple seconds, some only at specific places. It's so confusing. Sucks to pay money for premium that is on a time limit, and watching that time get thrown away with nothing you can do.

Try a different computer and/or try from a different location - maybe internet cafe. If same, then network issue confirmed for your country/city/town.
