Are you looking at a frustrating Authenticating screen in MultiVersus and unable to join the fight? Don’t worry, a few things can cause this problem, but there are solutions you can try to get back to playing with your friends (or enemies). Below, we’ll give you everything you need to fix this error.
Authenticating Error Fix For MultiVersus
First, let’s think about the main reason for the authenticating error in MultiVersus: problems with the server. Especially during busy times or after changes, the game servers might have too many people using them, causing problems for everyone trying to log in. We would say first make sure that you wait at least 10 minutes before assuming there’s an issue. Servers typically get better after a few days or weeks. To see if this is the issue, go online and check if other players are having the same problems on forums or social media.
If this the issue is real, we recommend double checking that your user account is correct. Go to the Connections screen in your WB account online and make sure your gaming console is connected correctly. You can always disonnect and reconnect if you’re having issues.

Now, check your internet. Make sure it’s working. Search online to check. If it’s okay, try opening Steam or Epic Games Launcher as an administrator. This makes sure MultiVersus can connect to the internet.
Let’s check another possible reason: damaged game files. While rare, these damaged files can cause problems with the login process. PC has the most straightforward way to fix this; for consoles, it’s better to uninstall and reinstall. Here’s PC:
- On Steam, the process is simple:
- click with the right mouse button on MultiVersus in your library
- Choose “Properties”
- Pick “Local Files”
- Select “Verify integrity of game files”
- For Epic Games users:
- Go to your library
- Right-click MultiVersus
- Choose “Manage”
- Select “Verify Files” at the top.
This process looks at your game files and puts in new ones to replace any damaged ones, hopefully solving the login issue.
