I thought I would try the free trial, as I am in the market for a MMO.  Created account, downloaded, etc, and now it wont even let me log in!

Heh, tried the password reset, waited 1/2 hour, still fail.  Tried again, still fail.

Has this game folded, or just so buggy you can't even log in half the time?

my login seems automatic playnet.com youi might need an update or a clean full install from the sight.

A couple of other people had login problems recently.  Try using the secondary connection (under Connection, from Settings in the Start Menu). 

Also an old problem some people had, including me, was where the game would only log you into offline mode.  The fix for this was somewhat arcane - install the game in a directory with no spaces between the letters - so "C:\My Programs\Battlegound Europe" doesn't work.  It needs to be something like "C:\CRS\BE".

 I had trouble like that ,I had to log on in Admin. i'm on Vista

Make sure your firewalls have ww2 privs, if not, it will prevent your logging on.

Make sure your login with your account name not ingame name and avoid any space when you copy/paste your password and login name. I did alraedy some trials but never had such a problem mmh.
