0x00040031 consistently on two newly purchase Steam installations

Recommended Posts

Getting 0x00040031 (Login Timed Out. (WaitAuthPlayerLoginState)) on both Steam accounts to any server, including a LAN server I setup. The LAN server attempt will even prompt for the password before the error. I have tried a bunch of things...

Disabling Discord. Running Discord as admin. Running Steam as admin. Turning off all other system tray related/unnecessary software. Disabling nVidia overlay. Temporarily disabling Windows Defender real-time scanning. Signing out of Steam and back in after a reboot. Basically everything I could find via Google searches and then some more.

Any ideas before I refund both copies? It hasn't even run once for me yet but I love what I see when I watch streamers stream it.

Sadly, this is a fairly old problem, happens at least since 2022 but keeps reappearing from time to time. Today I had no luck with the common workarounds, shutting down overlays, running launcher(s) or Steam as admin etc. I played normally yesterday, today got a Steam Cloud state difference warning and steam asked to choose between the last known good cloud save and a more recent one on the local machine.  I chose the cloud state from yesterday, after that the 0x00040031 appeared.Seems to affect a lot of people, all  official servers are mostly empty. I hope they look into this.

- If you didn´t play it yet, i´d recommend to be patient and check the game first. It´s ten years old and still in active development, gets better every update. In 2023 we had  four of those. Dont miss out cause of that hiccup - we´ve seen whorse times in DayZ. Way.

Thanks for the update. I was hoping it wasn't just me.
