I’ve spent countless hours diving into the rich tapestry of gaming, from the latest Marvel titles to the most sprawling MMORPGs. Throne and Liberty, with its breathtaking world of Solisium and dynamic combat, has been a major focus for me and for many gamers in our community. We’ve watched it evolve through its beta phases and its official global launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. However, as is often the case with massive online games, the path to adventure isn’t always smooth. I’ve seen firsthand the frustration of players, and experienced it myself, when a simple account authorization error stands between you and the next epic quest.
Today, I’m here to talk about a few of these specific roadblocks, namely, account authorization error 1013, error code 1006, and account authorization error 1015. While these codes might seem like a cryptic language spoken only by the game’s servers, they’re actually a signal, a digital flag telling you something isn’t right with your connection to the game. My goal is to demystify these errors and provide you with a clear, step-by-step guide to get you back into the action.
The Problem, Defined: What Are Account Authorization Errors?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of fixing things, it’s important to understand what’s happening. An account authorization error, in its simplest form, means the game client on your device is failing to securely communicate with the game’s servers to verify that your account is legitimate and has permission to play. This can be caused by a variety of factors, from something as simple as a typo in your password to more complex issues with your network or the game files themselves.
For Throne and Liberty, a game developed by NCSOFT and published globally by Amazon Games, these errors have been a common point of discussion on forums and social media. Let’s break down the most frequently reported ones.
Troubleshooting: Unlocking the Gate to Solisium
I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of fixes, starting with the simplest and moving to the more involved, which I’ve found to be effective. The key is to work your way down the list methodically. Don’t jump to the most drastic solution first, as it could be a simple fix you’re overlooking.
The Big Three: Understanding Error Codes 1013, 1006, and 1015
While all three errors relate to authorization, their specific causes can differ. Let’s look at what each code typically indicates.
| Error Code | Common Cause | Quick Fix |
| 1013 | Server connectivity, incorrect credentials, or IP blockage. | Check server status, restart router, or verify login details. |
| 1006 | Failed Steam or platform authentication. | Restart Steam/launcher, check for server maintenance. |
| 1015 | Rate limiting, often tied to a large number of requests from one IP. | Wait for a period of time, restart your router to get a new IP. |
This table provides a high-level overview, but the reality is often a combination of factors. That’s why I always recommend starting with the basics.
Step-by-Step Fixes for Common Authorization Errors
I’ve seen players get stuck on these for days, but with a systematic approach, you can often solve them in minutes.
- Check the Obvious First, Your Login Credentials and Server Status: The very first thing I do when I see an error is a quick double-check. Did I type my password correctly? Is my email spelled right? It sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how often a simple typo is the culprit. After that, I immediately head to the official Throne and Liberty social media channels and the Amazon Games service status page. If the servers are down for maintenance or experiencing an unexpected outage, there’s nothing you can do but wait. Trying to log in repeatedly during this time can even trigger a rate-limiting error, like 1015.
- A Classic IT Crowd Fix, Restart Your Stuff: It’s a cliché for a reason. Restarting your game client, your PC or console, and your router can resolve a surprising number of connectivity issues. It clears out temporary data and can reset your connection, which is often all you need. I’ve seen this alone fix a stubborn error 1013 more times than I can count. If you’re using a VPN, I strongly recommend disabling it. The game’s security measures can often flag VPN traffic as suspicious, leading to a temporary IP block and that dreaded 1013 error.
- Digging Deeper into Your Game Files: Sometimes the problem lies within the game itself. A corrupted file or an issue with the anti-cheat software, Easy Anti-Cheat, can prevent you from authenticating. I’ve found a couple of methods that have worked for me and for many in the community.
- Verify Game Files: If you’re on Steam, this is your best friend. Right-click Throne and Liberty in your library, go to “Properties,” then “Installed Files,” and click “Verify integrity of game files.” This will scan your installation for corrupted or missing files and redownload them.
- Anti-Cheat Troubleshooting: This is a bit more hands-on. Navigate to your Throne and Liberty installation folder, and then find the EasyAntiCheat folder. In there, you’ll find a setup executable. Running this and repairing the anti-cheat service can often resolve a lot of authorization problems.
- The Nuclear Option, Reinstalling the Game: I hate to recommend this one because of the download size, but sometimes, a clean install is the only way to clear out a deep-seated issue. I’ve seen cases where players have tried every other fix to no avail, and a fresh install finally does the trick. Your progress is tied to your account, so you won’t lose your character, but it’s a time investment. I consider this a last resort.
A Gamer’s Perspective, My Own Experience
I remember the first time I hit a wall with an account authorization error. It was right after a major patch, and my game was stuck with error code 1013. I was baffled, my credentials were correct, and the servers were up. I went through the list of fixes, from restarting my PC to verifying my files, and nothing worked. It turned out, for me, the problem was my firewall. My security software had silently updated its rules and was now blocking a specific port the game client needed to connect to the authentication server. Creating an exception for Throne and Liberty in my firewall settings was the solution. It was a simple fix, but it required me to think outside the box and consider everything between my PC and the game’s servers.
The Bottom Line: Patience and Persistence
Navigating the technical side of online gaming can be a pain, but with a game as grand as Throne and Liberty, it’s worth the effort. These account authorization errors are nothing more than hurdles on your journey. By methodically troubleshooting and not panicking, you can almost always find a solution. If you’ve tried everything on this list and are still stuck, the final step is to reach out to Amazon Games customer support with as much detail as possible, including screenshots of the error. They can often provide a more tailored solution.Now get out there, reclaim your account, and return to the stunning world of Solisium.
