@arma473 I would be most grateful if you could supply me a way to get the old python client. I don't have it anymore since I updated long ago.
Also yea I tried logging in from different spots, just keeps giving me the same issue.

I don't have a copy of the python client but @ThomasHiatt might
Have you tried logging in from a different computer entirely? You can put FAF on a computer without installing Steam and FA. The point would just be to see if you can log in, not to actually play the game on some other computer.
Python client uses same web authorization as official one. The problem is in local network that does not give permission to connect FAF OAuth server in Germany. I had such problem in my college, as i know there is setup of a local server with some firewall rules, so problem is not on FAF side.
If you are using router / everything that stands between you and the Internet, the problem may be in it. Network provider will never block such stuff
The thing I do not understand is that if you post in this forum you are in general able to login via our OAuth server.
But for some reason it fails if we do the same in the FAF (java) client. There is no logical or technical explanation for this.

I was wrong, i am in college right now and i cant open TCP connection with lobby.faforever.com. Mostly likely due to our local server policy for connections.
Yes the login forever screen is not because you can't connect to the oauth service. It happens because the tcp connection to the lobby server fails. But again I am not sure why it fails for some people beyond the firewall issues eternal mentioned.
So just to keep you informed, Sheikah dug in the dirt and it seems a new issues introduced by one of our libraries in one of the recent version. Multiple reports of the problems with resolving DNS, but looks like nobody was capable of catching logs that could help the developers.

At least we have a workaround now that will end up in the next client release.

This release may solve the issue for some people.
