Are there offline / guest limits?
Offline (cracked-style) play is limited by design: typically 2 instances and 10 primary mods (dependency mods do not count toward that cap). Microsoft accounts do not use those offline caps. Exact limits can change with launcher updates.
Microsoft sign-in says “Not signed in” or shows Prism?
EG Launcher uses the device-code Microsoft flow. The browser may show the OAuth app name (historically shared as Prism-style) while you approve the code — that is expected during login. Finish the browser step, return to the launcher, and wait for the account to refresh. If it still fails, retry once or open a ticket with OS + launcher version.
