Way to break the game with a update!

App authentication failed: Both -user and -passwordOrToken should be provided in command line
Source:Eco.Shared

This is all I get everytime I try to login to any world.

[Cherno]

Same here. Guess we have to wait.

I'm really sorry for anyone affected, we are not able to reproduce the issue ourselves yet. Hence we need as much as information as any possible what is different for the affected people vs. the non-affected. Could you help us out with the following:

Do you start the game just normal via Steam? Have you set any parameters in the Properties (Right click)?

Do you start the world via ingame, e.g. "Your Worlds" -> Local Worlds -> Load? Or any other way? If you start the server via ingame means, can you try to manually start by executing /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/EcoServer.exe, do you get the same issue then?

[Pandorian]

I start the game normal via Steam.

This error occurs when trying to load old single player games or start new single player games through Steam.

When launching a server through the .exe I also get the same error

This way also creates a Local World called "Game" which has the same error.

Got the same message.
Seems to be a "line" missing or something? Had NO issues up until the last patch, so either there's something removed from a "Command Line", that prevents from playing? Unsure. But I'm gonna go ahead and "investimigate".

Thank you. To all of you as well: Do you use Steam only accounts or have you linked your Steam accounts with an SLG account?

Steam only account. I attempted to recover account on SLG but none of my emails were in the database so it has to be Steam only.

Steam Only account here as well, pluss Re-installing does abso-fnerkin'-lutely nothing, sooo There's def. something with the latest patch.

As a workaround you can try the following?

Go to /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Storage and rename the .db and .eco file of the savegame you are currently playing to Game.db and Game.eco (note the capitalization!) respectively.

Then start the server manually via the EcoServer.exe (in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/). You will then be able to start the game and in Your Worlds, at "LAN Servers" you should be able to join it.

This workaround worked for my single player game.

Im on steam only. was fine when i went to bed, woke up to up date and now when I click continue for the game ive been playing i get "]The server crashed with error ' App authentication failed: Both -user and -passwordOrToken should be provided in the command line' and you can't play. Check logs in the 'Eco_Data\Server\Logs' for more information.[" and the logs say this "[03:24:10.108] [1] [Error] [Eco] ]Failed to start the server. Exception was Exception: ApplicationException

We have identified the issue and a hotfix will be available in about four hours. Thanks for your help.

This workaround should work for you until the hotfix is out:
Go to /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Storage and rename the .db and .eco file of the savegame you are currently playing to Game.db and Game.eco (note the capitalization!) respectively.

Then start the server manually via the EcoServer.exe (in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/). You will then be able to start the game and in Your Worlds, at "LAN Servers" you should be able to join it.

Alternatively you can link your Steam account to an SLG account on https://play.eco, that will solve it without the steps above being necessary.

On this way, it work for me

Hello, since the last update my server won't start anymore (not local), i got the logs :

System.Exception: D:\servers\service3347\home\games\eco\Mods\__core__\Objects\Crane.cs(36,18): error CS0260: Missing partial modifier on declaration of type 'CraneObject'; another partial declaration of this type exists

Is the issue linked ?

[SLG-Dennis]

No, that is corrupted files, the server didn't update correctly. Try to remove the /Mods/ folder and do another Steam update.
