If you’re trying to fix Minecraft Legends’ ‘connecting to your account’ error, here’s what we would do to try and fix it.

Minecraft Legends is Mojang’s latest game, evolving on the original formula of the block based sandbox game and implementing action strategy elements to the gameplay. However, you may be encountering a certain issue with ‘connecting to your account,’ which could stop you from either playing the game, or playing the game online.

Unfortunately, unlike with the game not launching, there’s not really a likely fix. In light of that, we’re going to be offering ‘holistic’ fixes that have generally worked with other games in the past. Let’s go over everything you can try to solve this account connection error.

Minecraft Legends ‘connecting to your account’ error – how to fix?

Minecraft Legends may be encountering an issue with ‘connecting to your account’ due to issues with your network. Here’s a few quick fixes:

  • Reboot the game
  • Re-install the game
  • Verify integrity of game files
  • Reboot your network

As there’s been no official update on how to fix this specific issue, the best way that we’ve been able to work around this issue is through the time-tested method of rebooting the game. This will allow the game to cut any faulty network connections, and rebuild them. This could mean you’re able to connect to the game finally.

Alternatively, you could re-install the game. It’s only a small (roughly 10GB) game, so a fresh install wouldn’t take long. Of course, it’s not going to be the most fun procedure, but it could get you past the ‘connecting to your account’ error.

Finally, you can try either verifying the integrity of your game files through your launcher (e.g, Steam or Microsoft) and rebooting your network.

Why is the Minecraft Legends ‘connecting to your account’ error happening?

You may be struggling to connect to your account on Minecraft Legends due to an issue with the game servers. It’s likely not something you’re really going to be able to do much about, and it should hopefully be solved in a future patch or update from the developers. For now though, your best bet is approaching the issue from different angles until you find something that works.

The game has also only been launched for a few days, and often these problems are swiftly resolved. When it is, we’re going to be updating you with the latest, so make sure to check back in with us periodically. In the meantime you might be interested in finding out if the game is crossplay, or if you meet the system requirements.
