Problemreported commented 3 months ago

I think I have the same bug, so ill attempt to explain it in greater detail. In my case, my account has expired and I need to re-connect it. I do so using the sign in with Microsoft option. Everything is doing well until it was attempting to connect to the Xbox services, in which I got this error image

I suspect its some update with an Api or something to do with Xbox.

I don't work on Multimc just trying to help

NewCeptionDev commented 3 months ago

It appears that Xbox Live has issues, so this seems to be more of an Xbox Issue and not directly connected to MultiMC

Calciferation commented 3 months ago

This issue does seem linked to the fact that Microsoft/Xbox's login servers are unavailable. The issue raised here is that MultiMC seems to delete account info after a failed connection, though.

happysmash27 commented 3 months ago

Is there any documentation for how accounts.json works? I wonder if it might be possible to re-create the needed info from the log file and then log in as offline mode.

Kenzo-911 commented 3 months ago

i get the same error.

Hanekihyouka commented 3 months ago

same error with

Failed to authorization for xbox services. Error %2.

chandrabe commented 3 months ago

Xbox Profile service is down currently ... this probably explain the issue

happysmash27 commented 3 months ago

I really shouldn't be spending time on something that's just going to get way easier as soon as the servers go back up (because then I can just make sure to keep a backup of the current file), but…

By finding a very, very old backup of MultiMC, looking at the accounts.json there (which was still on version 2), and grepping for some of the keys in the source code, I was able to determine that the relevant structure for accounts.json, both version 2 and 3, should in theory be able to be deduced from https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/blob/develop/launcher/minecraft/auth/AccountData.cpp.

Good to know the status page is finally working! Before it was showing it was online when it was not. 2024-07-02-115657_2560x2854_scrot

Now I can rest easy knowing I can just look at that page like I wanted to instead of constantly refreshing in MultiMC itself.

happysmash27 commented 3 months ago

I wonder if I can just replace the file with my absurdly old accounts.json from 2016 or so and have it work…

Sort of. 2024-07-02-130937_802x623_scrot

But then it runs into #5391. 2024-07-02-131004_339x141_scrot

I also got the same error message.

Failed to authorization for xbox services. Error %2.

The %2 in the error message is annoying. Wasn't much help for an error.

JoelTroch commented 3 months ago

@benhovinga Xbox Live authentication servers are currently unavailable due to an outage (this concerns Minecraft and Xbox Live as a whole, this is not specific to MultiMC), please consult the following links for more information and updates:

JoelTroch commented 3 months ago

Furthermore, the issue was opened before the servers went down and I think it refers to the fact that the Microsoft account gets removed from MultiMC's list when an expired account cannot be refreshed (as mentioned by @Calciferation here: https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/5453#issuecomment-2204092002)

Looking at the code's history, this behavior seems to have been added when #4998 has been merged. Judging from how the PR is worded, this seems to be an "intended behavior" (unless a MultiMC maintainer step in to say it's a bug).

The error message in the log (MultiMC-0.log) is a lot better and more useful:

@JoelTroch I am just curious if the %2 configuration for that specific error message was in MultiMC or if it was from the API callback.

@happysmash27 just answered that question for you here: https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/5453#issuecomment-2204416809

It should use cached data and refresh if needed, right?

TBH I think it is not expected behavior by the user. If the login fails, the user will probably want to play right away, and not wait for Auth servers to come back up. So the user will want to use Offline Mode which will be prevented by MultiMC if the account gets removed ! Happened to me a few weeks ago, had to boot up the regular minecraft launcher and copy over my Instance files to the original .minecraft in order to play.

I was effectively locked out of MultiMC and no way to add my account back cause auth servers where down. I dont think MultiMC should delete accounts that are failing to connect for that reason. It seems to be quite common for Auth servers to be down theses days, and we should be able to rely on offline mode in theses situations (that's kind of the point of that feature)

MousePak commented 3 months ago

https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/5456 Closed in error imo

The message users receive gives no indication of what went wrong and should be improved Issue opened to suggest Failed to authorization for xbox services. Error %2. have more details added

While the logs within multimc show networking error on the microsoft side, this could be parsed into the user error deplayed on screen. This would greatly improve usability to users while reducing errors logged for a microsoft issue

ShadowClawmc commented 3 months ago

Instead of getting the Error %2 i get an error saying that the microsoft user authentification has failed is there a way to fix that

garath77 commented 2 months ago

I've been trying to get 2 accounts authenticated on 2 different computers for a couple of days now, AFTER the Xbox servers came back up. Both accounts are brand new. Strangely enough, some other accounts seem to work, but some don't. Any idea what could be causing that?

phit commented 2 months ago

make sure you are using a password to login instead of email code, you can set a account password at https://account.live.com/proofs/manage/additional

andreasdc commented 2 months ago

How does that solve the issue?

phit commented 2 months ago

never claimed it did, that reply was to one of the countless offtopic comments in here, the actual issue of accounts being removed if login failed was added with https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/pull/4998 and is intentional, before you had to manually remove the account each time the login expired which was even worse..

the bug here is that accounts are being removed if the refresh failed due to other issues than actually expiring, but that is already being tracked by https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/5078

auth in multimc is in a sad state in general, with basically anything other than the most basic use case failing in some way https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/labels/Auth
