Okay...been trying to play for a while...won't go into all of the pre-early access stuff. I put my password in and get to the start screen. The start button is greyed out. Is this happening to anyone else?

I just want to see if I can play...on any world before they shut it down my time at an annoying 5 pm! When it kicks you from this screen, it shuts down the launcher completely which is totally frustrating. This is something I am not seeing many posts about. Maybe it is just me?
