If you're unable to log into Payday 3, the Nebula servers might be down. Here's how to check the Payday 3 server status and what you can do to find out whether the problem is on Starbreeze's end or a result of an individual network issue.
Playing games online is great as long as you don't run into connection problems, and unfortunately, Payday 3 is no exception. When you're deep in a thrilling match, a disconnect can spoil all the fun.
Figuring out whether the issue is with the game's servers or your own internet connection can be tricky. Here are some quick steps to check the status of the Payday 3 servers and diagnose the issue.
Are The Payday 3 Servers Down? How To Check The Server Status
To quickly find out whether there is an issue with the Payday 3 servers, you should check DownDetector. But for the time being, there is no entry to Payday 3, so you need to check other sources in order to find out if the servers are down.
The most reliable source is the official Twitter account of Payday 3. If something happens, this is the most likely place you will be informed first!

Payday 3: How To Fix Potential Connection Issues
If you can't connect to the Payday 3 servers, although they seem to be online, the problem could be your internet connection or your device settings. Here are a few ideas to find out if that's the case:
