We were made aware of an outage relating to our login service at around 23:00 CEST resulting in a Backend Error error on launch, and have been working on addressing the issue since. We understand service is slowly resuming and players should be able to log in as normal within the next 2 to 3 hours. …

I’ve been gating a backend error for trying yo get in to the game on the start screen.

LOL. I know right… This is literally one of the worst times ever to have the servers down for 7+ hours… Not only is it down during a steam summer sale, where new players might be buying the game to find they cant log in, and just refund the game; but its also down during one of the largest holida…

At this point this whole “we are investigating” is starting to sound more like “someone will check it in the morning” fellas…just saying :slight_smile:

It’s a known issue. They put out a tweet about it a couple hours ago. No updates since then unfortunately, its been going on for at least 5-6 hours.

So Crashes give me Headaches all the time and now i cant login either… Jeez No specific Number on Error, just wht the Title says [image] Steam Community :: Roibr™ I upload my Crash files soon per Mail!

I’m also getting the “backend error” message and cannot access the game.

There is a big thread for this issue. I’ll post the link but from what I understand FS twitter page says they are “aware of the issue and working on it.” https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/backend-error-2023-07-04/81604/4

New player here from steam sale, took 15 minutes to get in, barely completed the tutorial before I got disconnected with the same error. You are correct, I was mighty close to refunding. Not even from US though, just first day off in a long time and was hyped to play :frowning:
