email address instead of my username seems to work. thanks for the 'simple', but effective solution!

No problems logging in via the webpage (i just tried again to confirm), just from GameEx itself.

Thanks Tom, I updated to 14.90, reset my password, updated the GameEx Online setting in the setup wizard, but am still getting the same error. very odd.

GameEx stopped logging me in a few days ago, here is the log. Thanks in advance! 20:27:18.6 2017-09-05: GameEx Online Thread Started 20:27:18.6 2017-09-05: UserID: mcfishy 20:27:18.6 2017-09-05: Logging In 20:27:19.6 2017-09-05: at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoAPITransform.TransformFinalBlock(Byte[] inputBuffer, Int32 inputOffset, Int32 inputCount) at System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at System.IO.StreamReader.ReadBuffer() at System.IO.StreamReader.ReadToEnd() at GameEx.SYC.D(String Source, String Key) at GameEx.GameEx.MainForm.dy() Length of the data to decrypt is invalid.

Thanks Tom. I Installed 12.63 (manual install) and things are back up and running properly.

Sorry to say that this is my first post in 6+ years of hanging around, but perhaps that is a compliment to the quality of the software over the years. Unfortunately, today i am experiencing my first error that i can not 'remedy' on my own (after updating to 12.62). Hopefully all of the information required is located in the log below. (FYI, i was able to run gameex last night without issue using the latest version prior to 12.62).
