Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Unity's authentication service experienced server error 500 issues that prevented some players from logging in and caused player names to not display properly on leaderboards and friends lists. While the core authentication service was restored partway through the incident, player name retrieval remained broken until affected services were reset. The service was fully restored after 11.9 hours with continued monitoring to ensure complete recovery.

We have received multiple reports regarding certain players hitting server error 500. The error is affecting player login and the display of player names on Leaderboards.

We are currently investigating this issue and will report back shortly.
