encountered this error after fresh installation of win 10, changing nat type resolved the issue, thank you.
From Singapore: Cannot log in to Rogue Company after fresh installation of Windows 10, usually will download 1st game Rogue Company and it always cannot log in, the solution is that I download Valorant and play 1 round, during the Valorant match, Valorant will automatically configure my connection settings. Then I am able to log in to Rogue Company, tested on multiple computers if your home connection has log in issue on new installation. DEC 2021
