uh... let's see, it says:
There was a problem logging you in.
Either your username or password was incorrect, or you are not authorized to participate in the closed beta.
(0-0: The Server Returned an Unknown Error( wininet:0).)
 
I'm 100% sure i got my username and password right, and i got an email saying i was chosen for closed beta... /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif

hi guys, thanks for your patience, and thanks for the additional info sPlaTT.
it appears that this error is being caused because the launcher login screen is not able to post your login credentials to our login servers.
it may be possible that you have firewall software running on your computer which may be blocking the login request. What version of windows are each of you running? If you have firewall software installed, please disable it and try loggin in again to see if that fixes it. whatever the outcome, please post the results in this thread so we can know if this is the cause of the issue.
Thanks again for your patience, hopefully we'll get you in game very soon!

This 401-0: Unauthorized error is separate than the original error.* We are working to fix this right now.* Please try logging in again in about 5-10 minutes please.

Ok, looks like there are two distinct issues popping up here:
1) (401-0: Unauthorized) status returned from launcher login
This error, lucky for you, is a problem on our end. It looks like our auto flagging missed a few people who registered during a certain window of time while we were making some CBT invite changes. Users who recieved the invite email, and are getting the 401 error should be able to log into the game within a few minutes.
2)
(0-0: The Server Returned an Unknown Error( wininet:0).) status returned from launcher login
This error is what the meat of this thread is about. It appears that the launcher is being blocked from sending your login credentials to our authentication servers. Please check to see if you have any firewall software blocking the Outspark Launcher from sending your login information.

@fireless, if you are still getting the 401 error, please make sure you are using the correct password.

@mikeydo: sounds like you may have a different issue. when did you last download the launcher/installer? you may have an out of date version of the installer. please go ahead and start a new thread with more details specific to the issue you are having. provide as much detail as possible please.
Hopefully we can get you in the game as soon as possible.

@sPlaTT: i'm very happy to hear you got in alright. Just out of curiosity, and to help anybody else who may be having the same issue, did you re-download a newer installer as well, or just uninstall/reinstall the version you had already downloaded?
