EOS Login Error Never goes away

[Chungledown Bim]

Its been over 9 months of not being able to play online. No, I can assure people I am not banned, this is the bug that plagued a lot of people all the way back in January and February, and it still keeps popping up for me.

Palworld Support does nothing and I think I may give it one last attempt to fix this before shelving this game forever.

So... ideas, methods, tricks please?

I have done:

Steam restart numerous times
Run as Admin, not as admin for both steam and the game
PC restart more times than I care to count
verify files integrity a few dozen times
Run the win64 method (no longer remember what this is exactly, but it was a thing way back then)
Modem/Router restart more times than I realize... because comcast sucks ass and restarting the modem happens not too uncommonly without a need to for a game.
uninstall/reinstall and reinstall into a different drive so many damn times... alternate drives almost every attempt.

This method should work for Gamepass version
Gamepass version:
- Open Credential Manager
- Select Windows Credentials
- Scroll down and look for "XblGrts|DeviceKey"
- Click on it
- Click Remove
- Now it should work

This Steam version worked for me, I had the same error.
NOTE! Don't mess around randomly in the Registry Editor
Steam version:
- Open run menu (Windown Key + R)
- type 'regedit', hit enter to run
- There are many folders with drop down lists
- Look for look for them in this order: HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> Shell Folders
- Within shell folders you will find many "files", also known as "keys"
- Look for a file/key called "Personal"
- Under the "Data" header it will give you a file location for the "Personal" file/key
- This location MUST be in the C:\ drive documents, not the one-drive documents, not some other hard-drive
- Now right click the "Personal" file/key -> Modify -> Set the "Value Data" to your C:\ drive document folder, e.g. C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Documents
- Next up scroll a bit down the list again and find "User Shell Folders"
- Within that folder, repeat the exact same process, modify the "Personal" file/key the same way
- Now just close the Registry Editor
- Now you can open up your game and it should work, if not, try to restart now after this process and it should hopefully work for you

Yeah... doesn't work. regedit was still in my runmenu from the last few times I did this with nothing working afterwords.
