I cant sign into the game.

Everytime I try to sign in, it keeps telling me "cant connect to server". Is anyone else getting this!? I mean, I paid 70 bucks for a note on my account that says I own the game but I cant play it. I tried on my steam deck and my desktop to the same error message.

You could probably use continued technical issues and lack of patches/communication to argue for a refund from steam support.

[plagueseason]

Is your Steam in Offline mode/are you connected to the Internet? The game requires you to be online even if you're playing solo.

[tommyfreelance]

Yes to both. While playing on my pc and steamdeck.

But, I dont want a refund. I want another multiplayer game my friends and I can play.

I mean, what I'm saying is it would appear that your $70 has not delivered that. Highly recommend Deep Rock Galactic if y'all haven't played that.

Deep Rock Galactic is definitely a winner to play with pals, as mentioned. If you are okay with Early Access, Starship Troopers: Extermination just came out by the guys who made Squad. Limited content atm, but actually playable and pretty fun.

Yes you're in offline mode? That's the issue. You need to be online. Steam Deck constantly disconnects from Steam/Wi-Fi for me in general, so it's not an ideal device to play on.

Yes, I am connected to the web, the steam deck is able to see the online services, I know this because PoE still works.

It seems to me like playing another game fixes 100% of issues with Redfall.

Why did I even bother asking the community for any assistance.

That I can't tell you.

However I had a few connection issues on one of my three PCs I played Redfall on as well.

What fixed it on that machine was setting the type of network connection to private, ensuring that the Windows (10 Pro 22H2) firewall rules were not blocking anything connecting to *.bethesda.net and using 1.0.0.2/1.1.1.2 as DNS-servers instead of my ISP's ones.
Sometimes it took a few attempts directly after launching Steam when playing at odd hours like 05:00h UTC from Europe, but once the game connected, I was able to play for hours, even when save-scumming a lot and falling back to the desktop.
