Millions warned not to buy latest big game due to ‘frustrating’ bug that stops you from playing
GAMERS have been left furious after a recent triple-A release has been deemed a failure at launch.
With multiple screens to sign in and constant server errors, many are unable to even start the game.
Payday 3 released this month as the long-awaited new entry in the bank heist series.
In order to complete each mission, you need to team up with three players online and strategize together about the role each person plays.
Due to the cooperative nature of the game, it requires players to be consistently online throughout their playthroughs.
Unfortunately, this includes when they first sign in to the game, where they have to go through a number of login and agreement screens.

However, if there is a server error at any point of the process, then players will have to start all over again.
The developer has acknowledged the issue with the servers via Twitter, but has not revealed the cause of the problem.
A fix is currently in the works, but there is no timeline for when Payday 3 will be stable enough to play.
Those who purchased the Silver Edition or higher paid a minimum of £15 ($15) more for the game for three days of early access, among other in-game goodies.

While the servers struggled less with fewer players during this period, these people still encountered issues getting into games.
However, once Payday 3 saw its full release, including its release on Xbox Game Pass, it appears that the problems have only got worse.
It has received mixed or poor reviews on almost every platform, mostly due to these server errors.
Players have been warned to wait until more updates are out before purchasing Payday 3, to ensure they are able to play.
