Oh, the server headaches during Payday 3’s launch week have been a sore spot for all eager players. But the ones feeling the most frustration? Those who don’t even fancy playing this sensational new co-op heist shooter online! It’s downright disheartening to see their enthusiasm dampened by these technical hitches. Let’s hope the developers swiftly address these issues and restore everyone’s excitement for this incredible game, both online and off.It’s both exciting and frustrating when it comes to playing Payday 3 solo. The construction of the game requires an always-online connection, even for those who want to tackle heists on their own. This means that solo players have to connect to the matchmaking servers, which unfortunately exposes them to the same errors and long queues experienced by multiplayer heisters. It’s a situation that can test the patience of even the most dedicated solo players out there!
I was beyond excited to jump into the world of Payday 3 today. However, my journey began with a challenging obstacle – an annoying “Nebula data error” that prevented me from even accessing the main menu. Frustrated but determined, I refused to give up. After relaunching the game multiple times, I finally managed to triumph over this hurdle and dive into a thrilling private heist with only my selected companions. Despite having bots as teammates, I had to endure around 30 seconds of seemingly never-ending “matchmaking.” But hey, in the end it was all worth it for the adrenaline-pumping action Payday 3 offers!
While waiting for just 30 seconds may not seem like a major inconvenience, it’s disheartening to hear that players have been experiencing longer queue times lately. The frustration is mounting, and it’s reflected in the “Mostly Negative” user review rating of Payday 3 on Steam. One of the biggest reasons behind this discontent is the game’s always-online design, which has become a primary point of dissatisfaction for many players. It’s understandable why they’re giving it a thumbs down. A sampling of the reviews
-
“Imagine waiting for an hour and ten minutes and still not being able to get into a private game.” —Decoy Felinferno
-
“Matchmaking for 20 minutes for solo play!!” —Punisher
-
“Online only was a huge mistake.” —Aquagrunt
-
“No offline mode is a real bummer for us solo players. Queues and lag just to play by yourself is lame.” —Kedlize
When it comes to Steam reviews, there’s no shortage of passionate feedback. And while many reviewers applaud the game, some comprehensive reviews highlight a major bone of contention: the progression system. After scouring through countless user comments and consulting with our dependable Payday 3 reviewer, we discovered that this particular aspect isn’t winning any popularity contests. It seems that even among those who generally enjoy the game, the progression systems (and those pesky server errors) leave a lot to be desired.
Oh, the infamous server problems that tend to plague multiplayer game launches! It’s not uncommon for these issues to arise, but fear not – they usually get sorted out as the initial rush of demand settles down in the weeks following launch. However, I must admit that Payday 3’s always-online infrastructure might disappoint a few players for various other reasons.
I genuinely believe that Payday 3 might experience a common modern syndrome. Sometimes, sequels are unfairly judged in comparison to their predecessors, especially when the original had ample time to evolve and captivate players with its unique charms and imperfections. Can you believe it? Payday 2, the game that stole our hearts a decade ago, is still reigning supreme in popularity! It’s so incredibly loved that, as I’m writing this, it’s sitting proudly above its successor, Payday 3, in Steam’s Top 100 concurrent players list. With a jaw-dropping 22 versus 26 players currently enjoying the thrilling heist action. Now that’s what I call staying power!
One enthusiastic Steam reviewer eagerly expressed their thoughts on Payday 3. They acknowledged that, just like the previous installments, there might be some initial bumps in the road during its launch. However, they firmly believe that the developers will overcome any challenges and ensure a successful and thrilling gaming experience in due time.
Starbreeze, the developer behind Payday 3, has been incredibly diligent in keeping players informed about the server issues on X. They have consistently provided updates, assuring their dedicated community that they are actively addressing the ongoing matchmaking service outage. Their commitment to resolving these issues is commendable, and we can eagerly anticipate a more positive update from them very soon. Stay tuned!
I’m eagerly awaiting a bigger statement from the developer about Payday 3’s launch struggles. As of now, they haven’t provided any updates on the situation. I’ve reached out to them for comment and I can’t wait to hear what they have to say. Stay tuned for more details!
