error joining worlds says need to be singed into user account

Hello, cole!

Sorry to hear you're expecting this issue. Has this just started happening recently from the new update? Interestingly, I had a look to see if others had a similar issue previously and came across this thread on Steam https://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/0/2259060348520245035/ I was surprised to see the resolution but would certainly suggest trying that. Also, I appreciate you have tried a few of the below steps but as these are our first suggestions for issues, please give any you have not tried yet a go and let us know how you get on :) Also, is this on a specific server? Or is it any you try? Are these official? Are you able to start a world in online mode at all?

• Verify your game files in Steam

• Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

• Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

• It means your game configuration will be deleted
• You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

• Delete ShaderCache folder

• Same access as SpaceEngineers.cfg

• Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
• Restart Steam
• Reinstall VC Redist 2017
• Update graphic drivers
• Reinstall the game
• Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Hello, Engineer!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.

Thank you for understanding.
