Just wanted to give a quick update. After continuing to poke at it, it finally occured to me to fully sign out of the XBox PC client (top-left by your handle/avatar > Sign Out) and signed back in. This got it working! It slipped right into Multiplayer without error once I did this. My guess is that some MS-issued token expired somewhere between the last time I played and this morning, and re-authenticating refreshed whatever that token was. I would be curious, given that I've seen a few post on the forums today about this error, if some maintenance action or failure on the MS or Obsidian side broke something for a % of players (but not all)? v0v Hope that helps!

@ohboy I was just experiencing this problem this morning, and I just got it working. I had to explicitly sign out of the XBox GamePass PC client and sign back in again. My guess is that somewhere between a couple days ago and today, my Microsoft-issued authentication token expired and wasn't successfully passing into Obsidian's environment (I'm making a few assumptions about how this works, full disclosure). But once I did sign out (top-left menu where your player handle/avatar is > Sign Out) and then signed back in (client restart wasn't necessary), it fired right up! Hope that helps. Not sure what happened, but definitely seems like an expired token/cookie somewhere.

My error doesn't look like that, but I am getting what I think is a very similar kind of error: I am running Windows 11 logged into Windows with my Microsoft account, and I have confirmed that account *is* the one tied to my GamePass account. That GamePass account is the account logged into the XBox PC client in which I'm launching Grounded. So, all the Microsoft identity bits on my end seem correct -- I'm wondering, given your error @0wolfman0, if the problem is in whatever underlying SSO is happening between Obsidian and MS's systems. I have not been able to fix this so far. I have tried doing a repair on the install, and I have confirmed that launching other games in the same XBox PC client on the same PC works just fine. All local network and internet connectivity appears in order. I logged into these forums to write this post using Microsoft auth, so some SSO is working between Obsidian and Microsoft, but whatever the Grounded client itself may not be (assuming it's separate). Obsidian/Grounded Support, haaalp!
