Can't log in -- Waiting for region handshake

[MasterArthur88]

I checked grid Status and it says that there is currently a maintanence going but I see that my friends are online. Maybe it's only my problem atm?

Probably.

The quick and easy steps consist of closing the viewer and relaunching it. When that fails try your backup viewer. Most of us have at least one other viewer installed for trouble shooting these types of problems.

If that fails, restart your modem/gateway/router, whatever you call it, device. While it is reconnecting restart your computer.

This will typically get you past most problems on your side of the connection.

When these fail then we get into troubleshooting.

Being on the verge of WW III expect governments to be messing with the Internet.

PS:  And it is Tuesday. Regions are being restarted for software updates...

One way around those issues is to pick a different start location. As long as login is working overall, it's often down to that region having some issues during the restarts.
