Fix login attempt failed on The Finals via account linking

First and foremost, in order to play The Finals, you need to have your Steam account linked with Embark. When you launch The Finals it should automatically take you through the linking process. However, sometimes an issue may cause the linking to not go through, or for your installation of The Finals to not recognize the link. If that happens, you can always link your Steam account to your Embark account manually. To do so, sign in to Embark using your Steam Account here and it will link the two accounts.

How to fix connection issues causing login attempt failed

If you know for a fact that your account is linked properly, it’s more than likely some sort of connection issue causing you to get the login attempt failed error in The Finals. Follow these possible fixes to rule out that a connection issue is causing the problem:

  • Check The Finals on Twitter to make sure the servers aren’t just down.
  • Restart the game to download to the latest version in case a recent update has you on a different version than the servers.
  • If the servers just came back online or an update just released, it’s very possible the servers are just overloaded which can cause the login attempt failed error in The Finals.
  • Verify you have a quality internet connection. If you are connected wirelessly, consider connecting via a wired connection as it’s a lot more stable.

As a last-ditch effort, you can always try completely uninstalling and reinstalling The Finals to fix the login attempt failed error. However, in most cases, if it’s not account linking that is causing the issue, a fresh install more than likely won’t fix the problem.
