🔥thanks for looking!

fwiw still appears to be an issue, thanks @octojen for info on NBTExplorer, quick and easy workaround

after spending hours today trying to fix this problem, it turned out to be the time issue for me as well. thank Ionic!

this error message needs to be changed, it has literally nothing to do with the problem, or at least have a list somewhere that says what possible causes are. i found a bunch of posts where dozens of people are running into this problem and seemingly nobody has answers

im trying to run a new server and currently experiencing this problem. the server is hosted on my computer, both myself (same machine) and my brother (different house) are being told to authenticate with MS services but there is no obvious way to do so

reading through other responses, I actually just reinstalled windows last night and tried to get the server running afterwards

dxdiag attached

missed the mention about system time here. finally found the solution elsewhere. my clock was out by only a minute and that was enough to make it fail. this error message needs to change, its useless and completely unrelated to the solution as is
