How to fix Smite not working
Smite is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach account.hirezstudios.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Restart Smite and its launcher
Close the game, then quit Steam or Epic Games from the tray and open it again; on console, quit the app from the dashboard and launch it fresh. This clears a stuck sign-in or a frozen loading screen. Try it first.
Bypass VPN and proxy for Smite
If a VPN or proxy is active, close it and turn off Use a proxy server under Settings > Network & internet > Proxy. Open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns; restart your router before you launch the app again. A changed route can break the login handshake even when your browser still loads pages.
Verify game files for Smite
In Steam, open your Library, right-click the game, choose Properties > Installed Files, and click Verify integrity of game files. For Epic Games, open Library, click the three dots on the game, choose Manage, then Verify. The launcher replaces damaged files without a full reinstall.
Open a Hi-Rez help ticket
Open the Hi-Rez help centre and submit a ticket with your platform, region, the exact error text, and the steps you already tried. Include your display name and the time the problem started, since support can match that to account logs. Do not send a new ticket for every retry; add notes to the existing one.
While Smite is down: what to use instead
- League of Legends Pick this when you want a lane-based MOBA with a large champion roster and standard matchmaking.
- Dota 2 Try it if you prefer deeper item builds and longer matches that reward practice.
- Heroes of the Storm Use it for shorter team fights and shared team levels when a full-length MOBA is more than you want.
- Pokémon Unite Reach for it on Switch or mobile if you want a compact MOBA with simpler controls.
Problems at the same time as Smite

What happens when Smite goes down
Smite is a team-based online battle arena game on PC and consoles where players pick gods and fight matches, and players rely on it for login, party invites, matchmaking, and matches already in progress. An outage interrupts all four.
A Smite outage can show up as a login failure or a matchmaking queue that hangs, and players on PC and consoles see those symptoms before a match even loads, while the store may fail to load and a match can stall at the god selection screen. A failed queue is common. Problems can be regional or partial, because one platform or one server group can struggle while another keeps working; a friend may log in fine during your failed queue. The status at the top of the page reflects user problem reports in 15-minute windows over the last day, and the site does not ping, probe, poll, or monitor Smite itself.

How we track Smite
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Smite, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Smite, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Smite doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
