Original Post — Direct link

Just bought the game on Steam, I was eager to get into it, but I can't even get to the in-game menu, as after the first loading screen I'm immediately greeted by this:

Backend Error 1127 Sign-in Timeout.

So what gives? Any quick fix for this? Thanks in advance!

Error code 1127 means that our backend servers or a third-party service might be having a temporary issue that is disrupting the service.

Our backend needs to connect to Steam as part of the sign-in process to authenticate you and give you access to your progression. Unfortunately, both our and Steam's servers are under some heavier-than-usual load due to the Steam summer sale.

Try a bit later. If you still get the error, please message me.

Thank you for your patience & looking forward to seeing you in Helmgart!
