Unable to play multiplayer partially due to sign-in bug

[Smoore604]

Whenever I load up stellaris and click multiplayer it asks me to sign in with a paradox account despite how I've already done it. Then if I make a server or join a game it will disconnect me after a few minutes. If I go into the multiplayer tab and exit it, it will make me sign in again.

Is this the Steam, Epic, Xbox/gamepass or other edition please?

What launcher version do you see? Current is 2022.6

We have three possible workarounds that may solve it:



Disable IPv6
- Close Stellaris
- Go to Control Panel > View Network status and tasks > Change adapter settings (left side)
- Find your Hamachi Connection and Disable it
- Find your Internet connection adapter (for me, it was WiFi)
- Right click your internet adapter and select properties
- Scroll down to find "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and uncheck the box
- Select Ok
- Start up CK3 and should work.



Disable all other network adapters

1. Go to Windows Control panel.
2. Click on Network & Internet.
3. Click on View Network Status.
   Quick Tip: You can also quickly access these settings by right-clicking the network icon in the taskbar and selecting the Network & Internet settings option.
4. Click on Change adapter options.
5. Right-click all network adapters that are not connected to the internet and select the Disable option.

Use a VPN

- Obtain a VPN

- Set the country to the US (why this works is also an enigma ><)

- Start the game

- Sign in and see if it "sticks"


Good luck!
