Hello.
So..... I preordered...
Downloaded it here on GoG.
Then I registered with Paradox via my internet browser and confirmed the registration.
Now... In game... I try to log in with my current credentials but it stucks on "Please wait while we establish connection with comstar relays"...
Just to mention: I have a DMZ on my pc's IP in my router's rulles and all local firewalls/av (kaspersky, windows bm) disabled.
Thus I am sure it's not a problem on my side...

I think it's getting hammered right now. I was home at noon EST when it unlocked, installed it, made a Paradox account and played it for three hours then took a break. Now when I start the game back up I am stuck in "offline" mode and can't login to Paradox.

Such a shame that this dev can't hold up to gog's high standards and make some stress-testing of their own servers before the release instead of wasting the time on useless twitch ad streams.

Same here. Pre-ordered, tried to log into paradox account, for the first time got sent to customization screen, entered callsign, got "user already has callsign," message. Had to manually close tland restart the game, and from there I just couldn't log into paradox account, at all.
