[2020] Help! 76 Steam copy not working!

Original Post — Direct link

Man I hate being a downer, but when opening the steam copy of Fallout 76 that I got for linking my account, when trying to sign in I get the error:

"The Free Trial event has concluded. Purchase Fallout 76 to continue your adventures in Appalachia and carry on your progress. [4:8:2009]"

Since its quite early, I doubt anyone knows a "fix", but just posting it here so mods can see and hopefully this issue gets passed on and fixed. Well, I guess back to the Bethesda launcher I go.

Would also like to point out 1st and Atoms not being up for purchase, and achievements aren't there either.

Quick Edit: Seems else with the steam versions working? I got a stream trading card, excavator, pretty looking can't lie.

As an update, we believe this issue is largely resolved as most players on Steam who were initially getting this error message are now able to log in. Let us know if you continue to receive the [4:8:2009] error. Thanks!
