GameEx stopped logging me in  a few days ago, here is the log.  Thanks in advance!

Try resetting your password in the setup wizard.

Thanks Tom, 

I updated to 14.90, reset my password, updated the GameEx Online setting in the setup wizard, but am still getting the same error.

very odd.

mcfishy, can you please go to the GameEx Online tab at the top, and try and login there?

I can't login either.  Once I click login, it just loops back to blank fields again.

No problems logging in via the webpage (i just tried again to confirm),  just from GameEx itself.

GameEX and webpage are working for me as of right now.

What I've discovered is that I can't login with my username, but if I use my email address, no problem.  Weird, I don't recall that being the case previously!

[mcfishy]

email address instead of my username seems to work.

thanks for the 'simple', but effective solution!

[tthurman]

Thanks for reporting back!

I think this is the user account lockout going into affect. (too many failed logins) I am checking now though.

I was able to logon with both email and username. Sorry if that isn't of any help.
