Well... seeing as I apparently have lots of time to post while I wait for a disconnect, here we go. I'm at the load screen for pantheon. I get a hard crash... the new magical crash that doesn't leave any dialog boxes occurs (I posted on this in bugs with logs previously). Anyway, I now have the invalid login issue. Presumably, the game still thinks I'm logged in and is denying access when I try to login again.
Stardock - can you ellaborate on what the time outs are? If the above occurs, how long do I have to wait until the system realizes I'm not connected? Is there anything in the works that might resolve this or will it always be an auto-timeout issue?
Just to clarify - this post was about the outage that lasted approximately 13 hours where regardless what you did, you could not log back in. Per Frogboy, the issue was caused by their ISP doing some maintenance without informing them. If the ISP had not been doing maintenance, then perhaps this would have been very similar to the invalid username/password issue that many have encountered in the past.
Anyway, SD let us know what happened and the 13 hour lockout is over.
