So I've recently got a new computer (old one is Windows 7, new one is Windows 10). I transferred over my Warhammer folder, open the launcher, log in with my information .. the next thing I know I am in the server loading screen. Nothing shows up in the black log box area to the right that usually says attempting to connect, connection failed, login failed etc., that's completely blank. I've tried rebuilding the performance counters. I've tried making the launcher and war.exe etc. run as administrator all of the time. Neither worked. I am positive my Warhammer folder is not set to read only.

I had this authentication problem 3 times or more on the official server, two or three times on RoR. Only fix I've found is to wait for it to go away... Might get fixed when they restart or move the server..

Just curious if anyone is running this on Windows 10 successfully. I just got a new computer with Windows 10 and was planning on trying to transfer war this weekend but if there are comparability issues I may just wait til I get a new monitor and leave war on my old computer

Awesome. I'm not great at doing all the trouble shooting so I didn't want to go through all the effort just to find out I can't get it to run on my new computer. Hopefully ill be in game this weekend then!

Then 10 seconds later the unfamous : "authentification failed" application will no terrminate" :( any idea?

Have a skim over this thread and see if any of these suggestions works for you.


Also, try virus/malware/spyware scans, and Ccleaner for registry.
