"There are authentication issues. Some aspects of the client may fail." message at login on PokerStars

Wow!

I've never seen that before!

My guess is that some internet connection quality event interrupted the transfer of your username/password.

What happened when you logged back in?

Same message over and over for a month now. Whatever, I'm not missing out anything anyways :)

Ah, I stopped getting the message.

I installed Claude last year and forgot about it. Although turned off, it has some background process I finally noticed in Task Manager. Ended the Task and tried logging in again. Problem was gone. Will change the title in case someone searches for this problem.

It's strange because ACR and CoinPoker don't seem to have the same problem as PokerStars. But they did have a problem with Hyper V, I stopped it and there was no problems. I still don't get why they dislike VMs. If you are going to cheat, you can just use another computer...

PokerStars used to tell you exactly what you were running that didn't allow you to play. Now they just say "whatever, something may fail, good luck to you".

I asked support. Had to wait like a week for them to respond with "try the web version". There is no web version, at least in my country. So, useless as always. Shocking, I know!

Anyway, I'm glad I can now choose to not play the WCOOP instead of not being able to! 😆

It's strange because ACR and CoinPoker don't seem to have the same problem as PokerStars.

I don't know about CoinPoker, since I don't play there, but ACR won't let you log in if you have TeamViewer (or other remote control software) running.  It politely waits for you to shut it down, then you can log in again.
