Windows [STEAM] Had to by pass E.O.S. to play my server.

Version

2.2

Platform

Windows

So oddly enough last night me and my ole lady went to jump on are private server. When launching the game we were greeted with​

"Could not fully initialize Epic Online services".​

Tried reinstalling the game clearing caches and then finally performing the bypass. Has anyone else had this issue recently? I did notice when I would try to validate the files It would say there was 1 file that would need to be acquired and it would download
.
If I tried to validate the game again it would say its fine no correction needed. I would launch the game for it to fail to initialize epic online services. Re validate the files and there would be and issue with 1 file again, odd.

So I turned cross platform off and edited the server to keep are characters and still be able to play. Just curious on what the hell is going on. Also seemed odd that last night i think the released the 2.3. Not sure if maybe some kind of update or patch may of caused this issue. This was also on two separate computer on the same network. AND my computer didn't have the issue until i restarted my PC, I noticed it first on hers and then reset my PC. That's when I was having the same issues as well.​
