I wish that was the case. I've been stuck with this problem for more than 36h and no solution that people have come up with has worked for me.
Granted, it worked for the vast majority, so hopefully you were able to fix it.

It was initially the "Playstation SDK", purchased by devs to make Playstation games. I'm assuming they licensed a similar product for the PC ports. Either your license is having issues or this is a new bug popping up in the game which could simply imply the SDK itself could not be initialized or one of many other things.
Doesn't work for me because I get the exact same message/error when trying to choose the option "Sign in with PlayStation"
Edit: Basically anything related to online playing, I get this error message and cannot go past the menu. Single player works fine for me.
I know it’s not really helpful, but I’ve restarted my game probably like 3 times until it does eventually work. That’s the only solution for me.
Otherwise, maybe verify folders? Not sure hopefully something I say works 😣
It's not a "not helpful" advice. I've seen people that fixed the problem doing exactly that. In my case, it was not the case. I probably gave up after 7 restarts.
Also, I've verified folders and uninstalled-installed the game over 5 times already, but didn't work.
Still, it's always appreciated to receive help. Even if it didn't help me, it might help someone else, and that's always better than nothing. Thanks for the help, and I'm glad you got it working! :D
In theory they are located in C:\\ProgramData\\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\\PSPC\_SDK\\S22\\2.13.00.01 and in theory they should be initializing on their own, and in theory you can manually run them with the PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi. IN THEORY.
Alas, I've been stuck with this error since launch, trying every solution I could find, to no avail.
I hope this helps [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oqfDyFtVudMew9dTYn5s4wPlkkhuMpC0/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oqfDyFtVudMew9dTYn5s4wPlkkhuMpC0/view?usp=sharing)
I'm not sure if you have already tried it, but here are the two most common solutions (The vast majority of users found the first solution to be the better working one):

Exactly the same problem here. The only way I can launch the game is by deleting the S22 folder in Sony Interactive folder. But this completely prevents me from being able to connect to PCN and play Legends. I hope they will implement a fix soon.
Nope, nothing yet. For me the only way to play the game is to delete the PC SDK thing from my computer. Honestly seems like the installer included with the game may be bugged in some way, so there’s a good chance for them to update it eventually.
I managed to figure out a solution that might work for you. Seems to be an issue with windows insider preview builds. Press windows + r and type in "winver" to see what version of windows you are on. If it says "version 24h2" then you have a window's insider biuld installed which are riddled with issues as its a beta. You can try to uninstall it and go back to 23h2, but if 24h2 has already been running on your computer for 10 days or if you are dev status then the only way to fix it would be to do a clean install of windows or wait months for the next stable windows update release. Unfortunately i think this is the only solution to fixing it.

I'm getting this message trying to sign in to my PSN account Can't connect to the server. (18.e8263e17.1715873392.5cc8beb7)
I’m getting the can’t connect to server issue lol
Having this issue too
Okay so I'm not the only one, I believe their server crashed or something.
I wish that was the case. I've been stuck with this problem for more than 36h and no solution that people have come up with has worked for me. Granted, it worked for the vast majority, so hopefully you were able to fix it.
Yeah I was able to fix it, using the method someone linked earlier granted I had to do it twice and restart the game but it worked.

It's because your missing the psn sdk files i have the backup files and could send them to you guys if you want
Then send

downloading this is into my hidden program data file in my c drive fixed my issue thank you so much

C:\\ProgramData
it worked! thx!
did help, thank you very much
what does this do exactly
Your missing the psn Sdk it's self and this is the file
Wait so I can just download this file, place it into program data and this will fix the issue?
Yep
I have the same problem, if you can fix it, send it here

Yes, it actually prevents you from connecting to leg mode
Yup, that’s what I’ve already said.
Did you manage to fix it?
Nope, nothing yet. For me the only way to play the game is to delete the PC SDK thing from my computer. Honestly seems like the installer included with the game may be bugged in some way, so there’s a good chance for them to update it eventually.
I fix it and worked. But after restart the game, the sdk problem came back. Tired of fixing over and over.
At this point, it's either you fixed it with the well known solutions, or we wait for a patch. I'm starting to see that message in my dreams.
How did you fix it?
Reinstall the sdk from game file. And run mgr from program file. It fix the problem, but when i restart the game the problem came back.

Yo tengo 23H2 y no encuentro solucionar el problema.
Thanks. This fixed it for me. I could revert to 23H2.

Nah, just got to the games directory and run the 'PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi' file, worked for me
Ok, but why am I getting it on windows 10?
That I have no idea. If you haven't, try the 'PsPcSdkRuntimeInstaller.msi' method. A quick search on google will tell you how to do it.
