I’m specifically trying to gain access to an alpha build we deploy using this link: https://littlenapoleon.itch.io/changelingtalealpha/patreon-access

We haven’t changed the link or changed the settings at all since it was setup a few years ago.

Clicking that link takes me to the Patreon page to allow access, then to the error.

Do you have a pledge for your thing with the account you’re attempting to log in with?

Yes, I’m a pledge on the patreon account at the $10 tier, and access comes in at the $3 tier.

Thanks, I was able to identify the issue with the information you provided. It appears you have a pledge without a reward associated with it. I’m guessing this is because you started your pledge a very long time ago when patreon didn’t force you to collect a reward, or you started pledging before the campaign had rewards.

In any case, we now account for this type of pledge and it should no longer throw an error.

Hm, that’s odd because I have confirmed that the error was effecting everyone on our campaign, and I double checked and Patreon does confirm I have a tier with rewards selected.

Perhaps Patreon is erroneously reporting that information in the api then?

Aside from that message above, I have confirmed that your fixes have resulted in fixing both of the problems now.

The campaign owner is now able to refresh the campaign details (he was previously receiving the same error I was when trying to connect and disconnect patreon), and I am now able to verify my pledge and get access.

I’m still concerned that you’re being told we don’t actually have tiers (because I’ve had other people test and we all definitely have tiers selected), but it does work now at least.

The account owner is also getting the same error when they try to refresh the campaign from the settings window where you set up the link between patreon and the game on itch.io.

That’s a separate issue. Patreon’s API is returning HTTP 403. Either Patreon is at fault here, or perhaps the account owner deleted itch.io from the list of connected apps from the Patreon side? If they disconnect and reconnect on itch.io then it may solve that: https://itch.io/user/settings/connected-accounts

I’ve asked them to do that, I’ll let you know if it works for them.
