As tends to happen with highly-anticipated online games, ARC Raiders players have already been running into server issues.
The game launched earlier this morning, and has already accumulated hundreds of thousands of players, which has led to many players being unable to play the game due to server overload.

It just shows how much the fans were itching for another good extraction shooter, especially with the game topping Steam sales charts.
Running Into Connection Errors
Many players trying to get into ARC Raiders (via Eurogamer) have been hit with an “Online Connection Error” popup, which says, “Online services are currently unavailable.”
