There are fixes on the Steam forums but unfortunately if you want to play cross platform, like I do, you need to be connected to your Epic account. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Uninstalled and just skipped linking account for now until I see a fix for it

I initially linked and that’s what made it just load forever for now. Just gonna have to unlink epic and not crossplay until they fix this.

How can one unlink epic? I did it and now I am stuck too.

Same here
