Getting an Error at launcher bootup

[Joiry]

Ugh, I want to cry. After about 50 retries, I got a login prompt and typed my password wrong. Now I'm back to the same problem.

I checked my account status on the mogstation and I saw that the time period to play was expired.
After re-sub for 90 days and wait 30 minutes, I'm be able to login again, saying that i have 120 days to play.

So it seems that the free 30 days gifted after the ENDWALKER launch are not working for Steam players, or at leas are not refected on the mogstation, and the verification that steam runs trough mogstation account status return KO, and for that reason can't login.

Unfortunately this isn't the issue, considering myself and several others definitely have subs that aren't on the Free Trial, and probably haven't been in the the last few years. Glad to see it worked for you though!

I still had some time left, but it was like only 4 days left. I just added another 30 days, so I guess I just wait and see if that fixes it.

No etc folder, no free trials. Been sub for around 6 months. If somebody can shed some light on this

Summer sales overloaded steam. Technically you can try to login with spamming the cogwheel until it shows something otherwise you'll have to wait it out.

It isn't a problem on your end.

Edit:

Spam the cogwheel in the upper right of the launcher, then hit the back arrow to go back to login. Repeat this process until you get the login field.

I don't think you were having the same problem that everyone else is having, but thank you for the encouragement :3

This is almost certainly due to an outage in Steam. See: https://steamstat.us/ Steam Web API is down, and I'm sure that's how SE is validating our licenses are real. I suspect this will continue until Steam Web API is back up.

Updated my prior post. It isn't a user problem, just do what I posted in bold until steam calms down.
