Launcher crashing after logging in + Timing Out

I've been trying to log into the game since 5pm(est) from Steam to the launcher and the game has crashed every time once I put in my login info and press Play.

Sometimes I see that the launcher has a message saying it's loading or a pop-up with 'A system error has occurred: 7. Timeout'.

Has anyone else experienced this issue this evening?

I play on the PS4 version and I was having the same launcher issue as you. I thought I needed to update the system software, which I did. But the launcher would still time out. It's currently 10pm where I am and it looks like whatever the issue was might have been resolved.
