If you restarted your steam and relaunched the game but still experience this, you might try few more things:

1. Log out and log in in Steam.
2. Reinstall the game.
3. Check your connectivity. If you are sure that it is fine, [report a connectivity issue](/connectivity/reporting-connectivity-issue.md).
