Check its Server Status: If the actual problem is with the game’s servers, then there isn’t exactly much that you can do. However, you can still check their Twitter @MultiVersus to see what is happening. If the servers are down or if some maintenance is ongoing, the developers should tweet about it here. They may also post the schedule by when the game can be back and working.
Restart and Try again: If the servers are working but you face this problem, one trick is to close the game, wait for a few minutes, and try again. Do this a couple of times until you can get in.
Wait for it: If you see slow progress that hasn’t completely frozen, you can try waiting for it to complete Authentication.
Now, if the servers are fine, the problem might be at your end. If that is the case, then here are some things you can do:
Check and Refresh your Connection: If the game cannot Authenticate, it has trouble connecting to the servers. Try doing a speed test to check if your internet is working properly. If not, you can refresh your connection by restarting your router or removing and plugging in the Ethernet cable.
Verify Game Files: You can verify the game’s File Integrity on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Scan the files, and after it is finished, restart your PC. Now try playing the game; you shouldn’t face this error again.
