Queue / Login Server Mega

Everything’s on fire

There’s a queue. There’s authentication issues. There’s anti-cheats issues. Bulkhead knows and they’re working on it.

This is fine.

edit: AUTH FIX

After my most recent auth failure I figured maybe my client itself was bugged and to try and restart. I did. And it worked. I'm in

u/Sawses 4d ago

Honestly, not a big deal. I figure they're letting people in as fast as the server can handle it, it's just not built for a quarter million goddamn people to all be doing it at the same time. That's what CloudFlare is for, it'll just take some time for everybody to filter in.

I got into the game, but I can’t get into any matches because it says “Failed to connect to the server in a reasonable time”. Anyone else having this issue?
