Session Expired Bug?

Hello everyone, I did some digging online and this doesn't seem to be a very common error..

I'm trying to log in but it keeps giving me this message:

"Your session has expired, This can happen if you have left your game idle for an extended period or if your BHVR account is in use on another device."

Is there anything I can do about it? Game was working fine just yesterday…

    I can't load the game; it's telling me the game version is invalid. Seems to be a universal problem.

    Right after waiting in a queue - after a brief 2-3 seconds from entering the lobby I'm getting disconnected with the message (watch screenshot)

    It's happening each time today. It wasn't like that yesterday.

    SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: I will enter a match and be disconnected, enter a lobby and be disconnected, and then again be disconnected back out of my main lobby. Im also unable to get into the game altogether, citing a network connectivity issue, but my ps5 is stating it's connected. I have rebooted the game and the Ps5 and checked for updates, but it appears it's still not working.

    Im also occasionally receiving initialization errors, but I played the game on Sunday, and everything was fine.

    STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THE ISSUE OCCURED: I launch the game about 5 times over and I can't get passed the title screen that says "Press space to continue". I finally got in one time but it gave me a error and sent me back to the title screen.

    I've just gotten this bug as well, been struggling with it for maybe 20 minutes. What's going on? I don't have my other consoles on at all, and it was on starting up the game, so no idle time at all.

    Different type of errors occurring, can't get into the game whatsoever. From initial error to something wrong with the save and I should restart the game or connection error but internet working properly lol..

    First i got bloodweb error, then sent back to loading screen, then initialization issue, then version mismatch and verified my files, then network error, no connection, initialization again and so on. Im wondering how many errors are they gonna bomb us with instead of just having an error saying that the server is having issues, please try again later. But as always, companies love to blame the player for the problem and deny that their servers are having issues. After wasting 1 hour of looking up what is going on, i finally found this here that says that it is their servers that are the problem. So how about you give me my 1 hour of my life back that i spent looking up the false errors the game threw at me. This is easily 3 games which could possibly rack up to 200k BP if not more. Also, 1500 xp. Depending on how long it takes for you to fix the issues, the 3x BP should be extended. But sure, i make about 15 bucks an hour so you can pay that too if everything else here seems like too much. Good luck on fixing whatever it is that is plaguing the servers.
