Stuck on ""authenticating you via steam"

[Rodi]

As title says, I get stuck on the launcher screen with the message ""authenticating you via steam"... I have cleared cache, verified integrity of game files, but nothing fixed the problem...

[Lurker 37]

Same problem here.

[Storm Chaser]

I have that problem too

[tdsvbs]

I am stuck here as well. I paid $155 for this game and nothing but problems... sigh...

[Sinnafae]

Same

[SocialNomad]

Yup, me too for the past quarter of an hour. Server restarting?

[.Cheetos//Sign]

Yup, getting same issue. Restarted computer, cleared cache, restart modem, uninstall and reinstall... and nothing.

[Imperator]

yep same

[Toxic Toast]

same problem, just started playing 2 :-/

There's nothing wrong with the game I'm currently online and so are many others. This sounds like a steam hiccup.

I get an error:

Unable to initialize API. Make sure steam client is running.

The error only shows for a second before the screen appears where you login.

Thanks Nodens. Doesn't help us join them, though.

But other games through steam are working perfectly fine, so I really don't know who is to blame :P I just hope this can be fixed soon....

Just tried again and got in, so try again now.

Steam was extremely screwed up for me about 15 minutes ago....I couldn't log in and post here.
