The release of Full Guys: Ultimate Knockout as a free game on all major platforms is causing some errors, including an 'Authentication Failure' message that pops up, but there are a few different fixes that can be tried to potentially fix the issue. New and returning players are coming across the 'Authentication Failure' error as they attempt to load the game or find a match. Until this issue is fixed by the developers, players will need to try to fix the error manually so they can start playing and joining online matches.

The 'Authentication Failure' error is occurring because there are too many players attempting to access the servers all at once. Epic Games' free for all Fall Guys update allows gamers on all platforms to download and play the game for free, but there has been a surge of traffic on the servers, and there are a few different issues that players are consistently running into.
