It might be worth keeping an eye on the FB page, even if you don't FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheSettlersOnline (https://www.facebook.com/TheSettlersOnline)

A number of people have posted their logging problems under the Hallowe'en announcement and info and updates sometimes appear there before they hit the forum, though there's nothing Official just yet.

Keep getting an odd landing page first, then when I navigate via the 'already registered' button, get the usual homepage, but login hangs with the man swinging the hammer. Have to refresh browser which then loads up page with me logged in.
Only seems to be the UK servers, French and German loaded up normally.

Arra, you're trying to login on a signup page, don't use that screen or you run the risk of overwriting your account.
Top right on that screen, there is a pale turquoisey button labelled "already registered?".
Click that to get to normal homepage.
Then use the email login bars at top to input email add and password, then click the login button. The little man will start swinging his hammer, give him a few moments, then hit the browser refresh button, page should reload with you logged in.
If that fails, get back the normal homepage, then select the support tab, and try to login from that page, seems to work better there when French UPlay messes up, so worth a try.

Oops, "already registered?" button is light brown, not turquoise.
It's right above the dark blue button with that obscene "F" word on it. ;)

i have tryed different computors and browsers. i cleared all cookies but still wont let me in but i can login sandy and test server

Nogbad

One of the reasons I steer clear of the bug server nowadays, seems to carry over some kind of corruption cached that messes up here.
But you are posting with your Newfoundland a/c, to do that you have to be logged in.

I got the same problem. I can't log in and I can't send a support message.

Got one of those nasty nagging voices in the back of my head.
Are these accounts that were previously logged into via Fakebook, then switched to UPlay?
There is someone in support who still believes that there is only 1 account per person allowed, when it should be 1 account per server.
Wondering if that misinformation has now brought some unwanted action into play?

Wildcat66
22.08.14, 00:16
used facebook in the beggining yes, buts thats at least a year and a half ago. and it has been working until now

Nogbad2
22.08.14, 02:35
Lots of things used to work until now. :(

arrakis

i started on facebook login but got suport to change it to uplay over a year ago

Nogbad
22.08.14, 19:11
OK, starting to see a pattern forming, and coupled with the timing of the landing page messing up, have just one more question which should provide the correct info for Support to have a nice heart - to - heart with UPlay.
Which server are you logging into to post these messages?
arra, you are showing as posting from Newfoundland and Wildcat is showing as sandycove.
If you are both using logins attached to different servers, then it appears that the detachment from Fakebook has partly reversed, and you now appear to have forum rights on 1 server, but playing rights on another. That shouldn't be possible, and prior history makes me think that this could take 6 weeks or more for UPlay to untangle once the situation is made clear. Sorry, hope they can sort it sooner.

Wildcat66
22.08.14, 19:30
i only play one server and that is sandycove. and sent a ticket 2 days ago, but still no reply. i have never played test or any other server.

arrakis
22.08.14, 22:56
i login to forum from newfoundland page
and i really hope its not 6 weeks to get this fixed
do you think we will get compensated for our loss for its not our fault the server has messed up our account

Wildcat66
22.08.14, 23:02
i really hope so, coz my goldmines where on, and i will lose level 5 mines :(

Have you tried changing your UPlay password? One of the posts on FB mentions it and a handful of people in chat have said they got in after doing it.

Honestly I'm a bit nervous suggesting it in case something else goes *sproing*, though I can't quite see how it would. If anyone can see a problem with it please leap in!

Nogbad
22.08.14, 23:29
Ok, that changes things a bit, if you are logged into forum then you are logged in. I s the game not showing the blue button "Play" even though you are logged into forum? That's a whole different problem.
Have you tried going to UBI's forums and logging into those using this ID? If that too fails, then looks like game and forum have got detached somehow.

arrakis
23.08.14, 00:13
this has just worked for me change your uplay password
got over excited i can get my name on login page but it now shows the man swinging his hammer
so close yet so far :(

Iolanthe
23.08.14, 00:22
Oh good! (Mostly Partly in.) Try refreshing the page when HammerMan won't stop, he does it a lot and that often helps.

Also, I have no idea what changing the password actually does to unstick things, that's something still well worth figuring out.

Edit: 'kay, now I'm nervous again. *fingers crossed*

Excellent, I get hammer man all the time too since the last maint, always have to refresh.

Wildcat66

finally an idea that worked, Iolanthe thanks big time :D :D :D
got in to the game again

Hi,
I just went to "uplay.ubi.com" and changed my password and fixed the issue, after 3 days I've finally logging as normal.

Iolanthe
24.08.14, 12:42
Oh good! :D

Word on the street is arrakis has been sighted on Newfoundland too so that's grand, glad it worked. :)

Aye, he's banging away steadily all the time for me too, refresh-to-login is just reflex at this point.

Next task, get rid of "landing page 5". :)
For a bit of fun, used the old comp with the 'quick link' game launcher from the original starter pack, to see if maybe that bypassed this madness.
Nope, it's now a broken link. Takes you nowhere. :(
Going to dig out my old list of IP addresses, see if that does anything different.

No idea what to do, even left a message on fb but no one getting back to me. It keeps saying I need to use my uplay account details, which I am using. Tried a password reset but it didn't work. Anyone able to help?

Nogbad
28.08.14, 17:19
Yet again, you must be logged in to have posted this. What is now happening at the login screen? If you are now seeing the little man swinging his hammer, give it a few seconds then refresh browser.
If there's an error message, what is it please?
If you can't use the support link to send in a ticket, use the email address from the previous post, the account.support one.

28.08.14, 18:17
I have experienced just a hanging log in screen after confirming password.

When this happens I just refresh the screen using F5 or the browsers' refesh button.

This immediately takes me to the next stage where I can press Play Now button. Hope this helps someone.

Queen_Seleney is now in game again.

Apparently it was the homepage that was in a corrupted state.
Opening the forum after trying to log in allowed them to post using their account, thus proving that they are indeed logged in.

Clearing cookies fixed the homepage, allowing them to log in normally and hit "Play now".


PS. I'm afraid I only heard about this 3rd hand, but it is something to try and if it works...

Nogbad
29.08.14, 03:04
It seems to be linked to the UPlay popup about changing passwords. It is no longer coming up on these 3 servers, but is on other versions. Also, the redirection to "Landing Page 5" every time you navigate to TSO, or log out.
There was also another oddity the other night, for a few hours, the background picture of the homepage, the words "LOG IN" were written in clouds.
