Elite Dangerous | Issues with Launching via Steam

Also had the same issue. There was an infographic that I came across on a discord server that seemed to help a couple of people.

It didn't work for me or one of my squadmates when it happened to us, but maybe it'll work for someone else

@Kallum Maar - thank you for looking up this possible workaround. Very much appreciated. Sadly it did not work for me and after step 3 the Launcher continued to prompt for Login loop.

I too came here for an answer, because it's happening to me currently as well. Tried all the above fixes (sans re-install) with no luck.

@Cornet - totally agree. I can confirm that a re-install does not help and is only a painful 60+GB download to re-install. Not recommended.
If this is backend Steam issue as Frontier is saying, I hope they can add in code to mitigate during this time for those who have previously successfully logged in. Customer focus quality - Elite level achieved.

Tried this method a dozen times, no luck.
It took rebooting and then doing this method.
It was only steam that wouldn't work. Epic version worked fine.
Seems to be some issue reading the cookie from the browser if the system was running too long and then combined with the steam client update today.
Really is a dumb solution that they go through your web cookies instead of through steam auth.

Tried all the workarounds here with no luck in fixing the issue. Any other suggestions would be great. I'm also looking for a link to the standalone launcher with no luck. Maybe I just suck at this google thing.

No it's not working bc steam borked authentication.
It will get fixed sometime later today dw.

Also having issues (I'm using GeForce Now with Steam).... Patiently waiting for a fix but thought I'd add to the growing list of CMDRs by posting here anyway! :D

This was an issue with the latest Steam client release. Opting into the beta seems to be a working workaround, however the steam release notes indicate it was re-released "a couple hours later" to fix the steamworks authentication issue. So check for client updates before you go the beta route. (Though steam betas have always been very stable for me.)

Sadly... with GeForce Now the Steam client version and Beta opt in is locked I believe. I'm confident this will get sorted soon enough. It's happened before and somebody, somewhere, has pushed a button and fixed it. Time for another cuppa....
