Stuck at authenticating loading screen(PC)

I currently can’t load into the game it’s stuck at authenticating. And in the off chance that I do it says I’m not connected to the internet. Is there something up with epic or something?

servers was down

Yes, I confirm the presence of this problem at the moment (23.05.2020 (DD.MM.YYYY), The moment the post was published).
The game hangs on authentication, and then writes that there are problems with the connection.
I noticed this when, after completing another match, I decided to find another and waited a very long time. First, “connection”, “placement”, then “recovery” and again in a circle.
Either the server crashed, or the developers decided to update them suddenly. IDK

These problems with the servers below are somehow part lately! :(

What time did you first experience it?

Happens every single weekend for some reason. Maybe they have their servers reboot weekly or something and it takes forever to initialize.

I’ve had the authentication problem for over a week yet my connection is perfectly fine

Attention! At the moment, it worked. All OK.

It works now wasn’t working for about 20min

Yes… This problem reappeared.
Today, obviously, the day began not so.

Yeah mines still not working

I was kicked out of the game 5 mins ago… when I was opening a locker…

I’m having this issue now as well. Just bought the game, played for 5 hours yesterday, and today can’t even get in. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling and a restart.

Their authentication server has been fucked since they released patch 1.09.

Which the morons at Illfonic decided to release before the weekend. So don’t expect any resolution until tomorrow or later.

Me too man, every time I can see in my epic launcher “backend connectivity tonthe server failed” something like this. The game is just broken every two game just got kicked and I have to restart the game 200 times.
