If you manage to connect, let us know which platform and country you’re from to help the other gamers out.
Update: People Can Fly says that some players might be able to connect, but not guaranteed!
We are continuing to investigate the Server issues.
Some players may be able to get back online, but it's not guaranteed.
We will update you here once the issue has been conclusively resolved! https://t.co/cdXYMLGeeP

Server issues are still being investigated!
We deeply apologize that coming back online is taking longer than expected – we are trying our best to ensure that we can safeguard against such issues in future and are therefore looking into root causes, not just symptoms. https://t.co/KqWK9I8VNV

Update 2:
We are about to do the mother of all turn-it-off-and-on-agains.
This will take all servers offline for a short duration. The complete downage will allow us to rebuild and recover server infrastructure in order to bring it back into a healthy and stable state. https://t.co/EgPgcKu1Io

Update #3: People Can Fly says they have no ETA, but are still working on it:
We are running checks on the restored infrastructure now to ensure it is operating as intended.
While we don't yet have a guaranteed fix or an ETA we are working on getting you back online asap. Please stay tuned! https://t.co/CH2nQoDS1I

Update 4: Servers are slowly going back up except for US:
📣 We are now re-opening servers in two phases! 📣
We are BACK ONLINE GLOBALLY EXCEPT IN THE US.
As soon as we have confirmed stable server loads for the rest of the world, we will bring the US online.
This has been done to ensure login servers are not overwhelmed. https://t.co/djLzOSLiid

Update #5: US players are a go! Have fun, outrider!
US Outriders – Get back in there and fuck shit up. 🌩️
Apart from our servers please. We need those. 🔧👷
Our teams will continue to monitor the overall situation.
Sorry we kept you waiting. Godspeed Outriders. https://t.co/vrIpAJ7DPp

Update #6: Reports of servers being down are once again coming in. Upon testing, we are also experiencing the issue. Image taken at 9:00 PM Central Time
Update #7: Servers appear to be back up as of 9:30PM Central Time in North America. Other regions should be following shortly.
Fucking amazing that they can’t have their game work on the first day or the second day. How do you release a product that doesn’t even work for 24 hours. This is completely unacceptable, it happens far too often in this industry but this example is one of the worst. Luckily the game is free or I would refund it. I hope every single person that paid for this gets their money back and they fall on their face and go bankrupt. If I performed like this on my first two days of the job guess where I would be…
With an attitude like that I’d be surprised you could even get a job. Except flipping burgers. Shit happens, suck it up buttercup.
It’s hard to tell if TJ was talking to the OP or himself in a mirror….
“Suck it up buttercup”god I hate that bullshit.they certainly sucked £60 quid up.!!!shit don’t happen or shouldn’t when you plan properly bud..all’s that been planned on doing was rushing it out and hovering the money up without prep as per usual..
Don’t disrespect the people who make your food dick for brains
Lol whiney much? I payed for it but gonna be patient. You know? Like a grown adult. Not some whiney self important moron.
games has been running ok for a bit, but then all the disconnects started to happen, and so unable to really play much at all, its like they broke everything that was working in the demo, including the servers.
I gather, they didn’t anticipate this many players. I mean, their Twitter followers jumped from 30K to lke 115K. LOL!
In regards to update #5 : Nope. Still a big ol’ failure. A game that forces you to always be online even when you don’t need to be? What could go wrong? In fact, let’s double down and not have dedicated servers….Shades of For Honor.
We’ve updated the post since Update #5 (about around the time you commented)
was in the middle of a match and then it died again.
This is a mess lol
it happened again. Sighs, seems like you can’t even play the game for 30 minutes before it crashes again. I only have the weekends to play, so I guess, if the servers can’t take the overload, I’ll play this game 2 years later.
UK down yet again. Not been able to get past the login screen, even if it tells me I’m signed in.
