What does "Auth Response Failed" error mean? | Forums

[SageBlackthorn]

I was trying to play Until Uru the other night and other than being real slow, everything was going alright until I attempted to connect to one of the shard's (tapestry shard to be specific) then UU locked up and when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the windows task manager, I noticed a message box that says "Auth Response Failed" with an OK button.

Now what exactly does this mean?

Usually it happens when the shard is down. It could have been for a short time.

Hey Sage! Does that mean your computer is fixed?

Well, this "Auth Reponse Failed" thing is what happened last time I tried to get on Tapestry Shard too. So I dunno if it's fixed yet. Tony hasn't come up with a way to put that .DLL file back on without re-installing windows which takes about 4 hours to download all the updates and service packs at this point.

Doesn't "Auth Reponse Failed" mean that Cyan's authentication server is temporarily unavailable? I remember this happening occasionally during Prologue.

I suspect that the shard itself is okay, it's just the auth server. I haven't had any problems recently myself, so you may have just hit the auth server at a bad time.
