For logging in, I did the “Launcher, Connection Failed, click OK, click the Connect button” thing. For Chat access, I clicked “No” to the “Retry?” prompt, undocked, warped to a combat site, noticed that triggered a message in Local, typed Hello in local and that triggered my other chats to become active. ---

Yeah so far it only worked for me on the 2 sites I tried that actually pop up an NPC message in local. One was the “Look, an egger! Let’s get’im boys!” type message, and the other was the Alluring Emanations “Numerous drones inbound. Objective complete. Retreat and inform your agent.” message (in local). When those popped, it triggered my other chats. Without an NPC in local message, no chat. ---
