1. Check Server Status
In most cases, the chances are high enough that the Outriders game servers are either down or going through a maintenance process on scheduled timing. Meanwhile, a technical issue or the overloaded number of active players at the same time can also become one of the major reasons behind such a connectivity issue.
Luckily, there is an official Outriders Server Status page where you can check whether the servers are operational or not. Sometimes it may also show you a partial outage of the game servers that means some of the region-based players may experience continuous Outriders authentication failed error until the problem gets solved.
So, if there is a full or partial server outage going on, you just need to have some patience and wait for the developers to resolve the issue completely. It may take a couple of hours or so depending on the problem. But if in case, the server is fully operational that means your internet connection is having some issues.
2. Restart Wi-Fi Router or Modem
It’s highly recommended to restart your networking device whether you’re using the Wi-Fi router or the modem because it can simply clear some of the temporary cache data or glitch to fix the connectivity issues.
3. Reboot PC or Console
Similarly, you should also restart your computer or gaming console in order to fix the connectivity issue because your gaming device can store plenty of temporary cache data that needs to be refreshed.
4. Check NAT Type
Check your NAT Type because it’s quite common these days for console users to experience network or game server connectivity issues whatsoever. Make sure to check whether the NAT Type is Open (Type 1) or not. Even if it’s showing Moderate (Type 2) then you should be able to play online games.
But if the NAT Type is showing Restricted (Type 3) then you should contact your ISP for further assistance.
5. Update Your Game
It’s needless to say that updating your games and applications will always offer you a stable user experience. Meanwhile, updating the game to its latest patch version can obviously fix several bugs as well. If in case, you haven’t updated your Outriders game for a while, just update your game.
