Ground Controll twitch chat

Hi,

I'm experiencing a bug with Ground Control on PC where I'm unable to log in to Twitch chat.

**What happens:**
The app opens normally and displays Twitch content fine. However, when I try to send a message in chat, it shows "Login will open in a separate window." A window briefly flashes and closes immediately. The app then displays the message: "To finish logging you in, Twitch needs access to your browser cookies." with a button saying "Please accept the browser prompt to grant storage access" — but no browser prompt or popup ever appears.

**Troubleshooting steps I have already tried:**
1. Cleared Ground Control folders from both %AppData% and %LocalAppData%
2. Uninstalled Ground Control using IObit Uninstaller (which also removes registry entries)
3. Manually deleted all remaining Ground Control folders from %AppData% and %LocalAppData%
4. Reinstalled Ground Control fresh from the official website
5. Made sure I was already logged in to Twitch in my regular browser before attempting login in the app

Despite a clean reinstall, the issue persists. It appears the popup window that is supposed to grant storage/cookie access is being blocked or closes instantly before I can interact with it.

Please let me know if there are any additional steps I can take, or if this is a known bug.

Thank you!

  I'm having the same problem and have tried pretty much the same thing. I also tried turning off my firewall after I tried looking up the issue and that was one of the possible causes for 0Auth with windows but nothing has worked. Is there a fix for this? I really like this program because it has everything in one place but not being able to chat is an issue. 

  Thanks!

  So I inspected the program and looked through some of the stuff, I can't understand a lot, but there are a lot of errors and “404 (Not Found)” messages. I don't know if this is a coding problem that needs to be fixed for us to update the program or if there is something we can do on our end to fix this. This is just a snip of the list of activity.
