I saw your answer and tried it but it didn't work for me.

I saw your answer and tried it but it didn't work for me.

Update: I added a restart after closing the launcher several times and it worked.

Tried everything and still doesn't work. It looks like I won't be playing until the issues is fixed.

I'm afraid I'm going to add to the plot - I can now log into 2D Elite. However, if I try to launch the game in VR, which is my preferred play method, the issue still presents itself.

Just want to let you all know, if i don’t respond to each of your reports of the issue, it’s not me being ignorant to them or tapped out, it’s just that there’s nothing further to add as yet o7

Thanks for bearing with us!

Again, we are seeing a steady return for some but it seems to be a very steady and phased recovery from Steam.

Thank you! Hopefully it's resolved soon. o7

Hello!
As you can see, we haven’t yet confirmed the issue on Steam side to be resolved for everyone, so you may still encounter the issue.

This is currently out of our hands and all we can do is keep close tabs on Steam reports across the board until things stabilise.

Thank you for keeping us informed even on a Saturday night @sallymorganmoore !

Worked with me after several attempts. Maybe a steam restart did the trick.

No problem, I just wish we could help more but it truly does look like we are at the mercy of Steam.

Thanks for being so patient and understanding as always. Hopefully things will resolve soon o7

Commanders!

I’ve added a “General Update” to the original post as we face this evening time here.
Just want to thank you all again for your patience.
Due to the nature of the day and time, I do need to step away shortly but truly hoping things are more stable o7

I'm back in now here in the states. It took a 4 hour power outage and several beers but I think I'm good now. Thanks Sally!

 

[Astro648_YT]

Works now! Thanks Sally!

 

[InternautJones]

Tried everything and still doesn't work here in Germany! Feedback would be very helpful!

Yeah issue here and NOT a steam user. Launcher took ages to pop up and after that it's taking ages to log in, although it worked fine this morning when I was playing. Oh yes the obligatory have shut down and restarted. I am assuming it's an ongoing issue at the moment and all connected so will try again later, good luck all, and thanks for your hard work Sally, don't know what we would do without you....ok I do, atm it's go and watch some youtube, but you know what I mean!

Ah it's finally logged in around 5-10 minutes between initial launch and final login, should I try and play? Wish me luck!

Ok in and playing, just the login took aaaaages!
