Michael560 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey guys, As many of you, I have the problem with validating the version of the game. Fortunately, I have found a temporary solution. All you have to do is to click on the multiplayer icon on your desktop as fast as you can. Ignore the errors, and just keep clicking. After a few seconds to a few minutes the game should start. After that, when you're in game, you may get another error while trying to connect: "Unknown authentication error". The solution for that is the same - click on the "play" button as fast as you can. I hope the solution will work for you as it does for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys,
As many of you, I have the problem with validating the version of the game.
Fortunately, I have found a temporary solution.
All you have to do is to click on the multiplayer icon on your desktop as fast as you can.
Ignore the errors, and just keep clicking. After a few seconds to a few minutes the game should start.
After that, when you're in game, you may get another error while trying to connect: "Unknown authentication error".
The solution for that is the same - click on the "play" button as fast as you can.
I hope the solution will work for you as it does for me
