Since Latest version, EDMC fails to authenticate via Steam

[gabolander]

My environment:

• Version: 5.12.0
• Game Version: Odyssey
• OS: Windows 10
• OS Locale: Italian
• If applicable: google chrome

Hi there, after the recent update (almost a week ago), EDMC starts asking me the authentication with Frontier (to grant permission to EDMC evidently), as happened several times. But this time it's not working.

1. The Frontier authenticaton page appears on my browser
   

2. I have a Steam account, so I click on Steam Icon
   

3. The steam authentication page appears, (and I'm already logged in) and I click to "Log in". After the first click ... nothing happens.

4. As I click a second time, Steam gets a "Invalid access data" error"
   

All the others authorizations to Frontier sites via Steam (store, forum) using the same mechanism, work perfectly.

I noted that EDMC logs anyway my positions and seems to be up and working (BGS Tally is updated, my EDSM and Coriolis profile are updated as well). But each time I enter in game in Elite Dangerous, EDMC keeps asking me authorization on Frontier->Steam which always fails.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It seems I've solved following the instructions of @Tarmstrong7 in this comment:

Hi there mate.
Just tested the 5.12.1-rc2 (5.12.1-rc2+0cfc487). It ran flawlessly!! "Authentication successfull"

Thank you very much. Keep on the excellent work!

Only a question now: when there will be the next stable version, does it recognize alone and notify me to update EDMC?

Tnks again 4 all!

Hey there! Glad to hear it's working. You should receive the next update pushed to either Live or Beta track (depending on how you have it set in settings) just like any other update. I'll gather a bit more data and then hopefully get this out the door in the next day or two.

Fixed in 5.12.1.
