Only had an error a few times within about a 30 minute time frame. Got a notification that the matchmaking was under temporary maintenance.
I love how I have gotten a total of 6 heists done in the matter of the 3 days payday 3 has been out. really enjoying the game…
you’re lucky you even got to play anything, everytime I try it’s always during the downtime
Rush hours i guess. I don’t think they fixed anything, just waiting out the people’s patience and wala, no more server problem
Got to the 5th heist before noticing any issues , till today , been playing the last few days 7-9 . Got back from work today to play like , NO !
Matchmaking error still on going thought this would have been better as we have been waiting so meany years for this one yet it’s the worst one yet never had this issue with the rest come one sort this out so we can play
At this point, I’m wondering if it’s server capacity issues? If so, wouldn’t that be fixed by simply getting more? Or if it’s something else, what? Crossplay adding to it? I have no clue. We’ll reach out and hopefully, we can get a response.
Network errors for login, cant even get in the game now. Been out for about 40 mins so far.
Same. Network issue, game configuration error. No network error but am online.
If u bought this game I’m very very sorry for your lost money
I can’t even get a refund
Still having matchmaking errors, wanted to play before having to go to bed for work tomorrow. :/
how hard was it to make a payday game with singleplayer so there is no need for this server crap
At this point this company should just off itself. Terrible, If I didn’t wait 2+ hours I’d instantly refund this game. Worst development team I’ve ever seen.
The game has had issues since release!! It’s great game (when it works) come on..
They waited for the Raiders Game to be over then roll out a full server shutdown for a server fix. Great timing
This is by far the worst purchase I’ve ever made! I paid for a game you can’t even play! This company should be embarrassed
Literally struggled all day today to run heist before Sunday night football. Come back FOUR HOURS LATER…
NEBULA DATA ERROR
Failed to Fetch Game Config Data
I’m lost for words at this point and beyond disappointed
i did a heist about a hour ago then after i got back to the menu its like boom nebula error and has not worked since to be fair it also didnt work for like 3 before that heist
the Server really sucks can’t get in one game been this way for the last couple hrs smdh can’t even get in a invite only
They really are shitting the bed with this launch lol
Sept. 26th tried to hop on this morning after not being able to play all last night. This is ridiculous PTH and Payday 2 were 2 of my favorite games but this is just embarrassing
