Do a deep scan of your machine with Malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.com/. Make sure you actually do a deep scan. Next to the “Scan” option you will have 3 dots click on them and click advance.
Beyond deep scanning, answer these questions:
When you tried on a VPN, was the error the same, or was it something else?
Are you using any third-party antivirus, “endpoint security” or firewall solutions at all? (Windows stuff doesn’t count, obviously)
Do you get the Early-Exit Trap crash window every time you try to join a server and get that error message, or not every time? How does it behave exactly (how quickly does it crash after you see that message, etc)
I have three computers at home, and they all have the same problem with different Windows versions. I have two Steam accounts and one Epic Gams account, and they all have the same problem. Sometimes I can connect immediately, but other times it takes several hours to log in, and I get crashes or authorization errors.
The same situation is with the VPN enabled, but there are other errors (that is, it connects to the server but crashes after a minute). There are no other antiviruses.
There is not always an Early-Exit Trap error. About 1-2 minutes after the client launch, if the authorization did not work. Option 1: I start the client, try to connect to the server - (Failed to connect to authentication services) so 5 times, then Early-Exit Trap. 2 Option: I start the client and do nothing after 1-2 minutes, and the Early-Exit Trap. 3 Option: I start the client, connect to the server, and everything is fine for 5 hours or more until I disconnect. However, the most common scenario is the 1-hour or longer Option 1.
