Is anyone else unable to play at the moment?

I'm still in game now and just finished a 100+ Ly trip. Possibly a router problem on your end? Might be worth restarting both the pc and the router and trying again.

Shut down E: D and the launcher. Turn off your PC, unplug it for 30 secs (If a laptop, unplug the battery for 30s). Plug it back in and reboot. Try again.

Really? At that point, why not nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I've seen this on occasion.

Exiting both the game and the launcher, and logging in again solved it.

Game over man, game over!

Yeah you only need to restart a PC. You never should need to actually power-cycle it like that. It'd probably cause more harm then good.

Edit: To actually contribute to this post, yes I've had that happen. Just close the launcher and re-open it because your login timed out.
