A friend of mine I convinced to try the game was attempting to create a new account via the website.
When he went to create a new account, after submitting his Username, PW, captcha, etc, he got this message:

I told him to try CSS.
He said he also got a "Provider Error" when trying to register with CSS.

He said he was able to log in with an account he created, even with all the errors.
Should still fix though to make sure we don't lose any new players! :thumbsup:

Umm... Aren't you supposed to download the game and make a new callsign from there?

Yep. Thank you for clarifying Blacksun. MW, has your problem ended?

Well, as I said, he was able to log in and play.
But he got error readouts from both the website and client.

Whatever these errors were, they apparently just told him his account creation failed. I suspect they would do the same for other random players trying Alleg out.

Can you tell him to post a screenshot regarding the errors the client gives him?

^
That isn't enough?

I believe that would be all the client would say.

I have a friend having the same problem as this. Still unresolved.
