Heya all,
didnt knew where else to post this, since this is an error people tend to get and I was one of them this morning, when I might have found another possible fix. If my method seems to be not working this thread can get deleted as it would contain a faulty fix!
Alright my fix so far did work 2 out of 2 times, for me and another player(heya T). It still needs verification by numbers, if 2 out of 5 dont get help by this fix it can be thrown away, thus the title.
How it works:
0. Log one broken character into another public server. (This step might be redundant, hence the "0.")
1. Create a new character on Sklotopolis (like where you are sure that it is 100% unused, i took Testerer)
2. Hope you succesfully log into login server, now use the portal where your broken character is on. (T did use the other one at first, that didnt solve the error, second char onto correct server did)
3. Log in the broken character.

Thats it! I hope it helps anyone else out there, if it did help, or didnt, pls post here, so it can be decided its a fix or another failing solution!
Suggested Solutions(from another Thread - sklotopolis.freeforums.net/thread/3880/duplicate-authentication-errors ):
(What Client can do)
- restart Steam/Computer/Router/flash DNS
- rerun patcher.bat
- verifiy files via steam
- check if username is correct and you dont log in as someone else using that name
- simply wait a few hours might do the trick too
(What Host can do)
- check if any chars are still logged in (were logged out didnt help(from thread above))
- reset IP (didnt help(from thread above))
- log in your char (didnt help(from thread above))
- restart server + login server (server restart didnt help, login server restart did help, tho it could be a combination of both)
Any other solutions you all came up with post below, so if people get this error they got more ways of trying to reconnecting properly.
