When will we be able to play?

Hi

New to Last Epoch from POE2, been trying to login for several hours now, when will the game be playable? Thanks

You can play now, did you close steam and reopen it so you got the latest patch update?

Huh, i cant login at all neither!
Admittedly ive not fired LE up for months now, but i just attempted to login yet all that happens is a screen stays for a minute or so until i get a “Connection Lost” message.
