Configure your network settings to use Google Public DNS:
In some rare cases, a player may have a DNS server that can cause issues with authentication. We suggest try switching to Googles's DNS servers temporarily to see if that helps resolve the issue: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using?hl=en#test_your_new_settings
Family Sharing:
Dungeon Defenders 2 cannot be shared. To disable Family Sharing, log into the Steam client and visit the "Family" tab in Settings, where you'll find a button to "Manage Other Computers..." Here you can deauthorize any computer or account that's been authorized to share your games. You can also remotely deauthorize devices from the web. To do this visit your Account Details online, and then select "Manage Family Library Sharing". Using either the client or the web site, you can view all currently authorized devices and accounts and disable any or all of them.
Steam Name Change:
Please make sure your name doesn't contain any special characters such as @, !, >, <, _? or Umlauts and is longer than 3 characters, as this usually resolve these types of issues.
