Is the Day Before offline? How to fix it

Most servers seemed to be completely full for The Day Before, but even for the ones that aren't, players are having a hard time joining them. It seems to be a common theme for most players to receive a message stating, "Connection Problems," prompting them to check their internet connection and retry.

While this is probably more connected to the amount of players on the server, there are a few solutions you could try to get it to work:

  • Check your internet connection - Funnily enough, it could be an issue related to your internet connection, so be sure that your internet is stable and try again.
  • Check for game updates - You can look on your game launcher for any available updates to the game. You could need a small patch to fix bugs in the game and help it run smoothly.
  • Restart your game - Try restarting your game and reloading the server list to see if it fixes itself. A lot of times, a simple reboot will help things along!
  • Try and try again - If you have the patience, you can continuously try to join a server until it finally works for you. Especially if it is just a matter of overloading, once some players clear out, it may work.
  • Check the server status - You can also check the official The Day Before Twitter to see if there is a deeper underlying issue that the developers are working on fixing.

Hopefully, some of these solutions helped you out. Most likely, it is an issue that the developers will need to work through, and all we can do is sit back and wait. With some luck, it will be resolved quickly.
