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.
Login Screen forever

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.
