1. Switch to a Wired Network
Well, if you’re using a wireless (Wi-Fi) network and receiving the Outriders Internet Error | Could Not Connect to Outrider’s Servers issue then make sure to switch to a wired (ethernet) network to try again. Using the wired internet can fix multiple issues like a poor signal, out-of-range network, and more.
2. Restart your Gaming Device
No matter which gaming device you’re using to play Outriders, just make sure to restart the device once to clear temporary glitches or cache data completely. Once restarted, we can expect that the game will run properly.
3. Power Cycle your Router
Performing the power cycle to your Wi-Fi router can easily solve several networking glitches or connectivity issues. To do so:
- Switch off your router > Disconnect the power adapter from the router.
- Wait for around 30 seconds and connect the power adapter again.
- Now, turn on the router > Connect to the Wi-Fi and check for the issue.
4. Try using a Mobile Hotspot
If none of the methods worked for you, make sure to use the mobile hotspot to temporarily check whether your IP address is somehow causing the issue to you or not. If so, you can follow the next methods one by one.
5. Update Firmware or Driver
Whether you’re playing the Outriders game on your PC or console, make sure to simply update your system version. Updating the device firmware can fix some of the bugs or stability issues with programs. Meanwhile, the PC users can also update networking drivers to cross-check the problem.
6. Use Google DNS Address
Whether you’re a PC gamer or console gamer, if nothing works for you, try using the default Google DNS Address on your Wi-Fi router or directly on the gaming device. Just go to the Networking Settings on your router or PC/Console and use 8.8.8.8 as a Primary DNS & 8.8.4.4 as a Secondary DNS address under the DNS Address Set Up. Once you’re done, save the settings, and restart your gaming device or router to apply the changes.
Google DNS Address is considered to be a wide, open, and top-notch name server across the globe to easily get access rather than using your local DNS. So, it’s expected that you can easily fix Outriders Internet Error | Could Not Connect to Outrider’s Servers problem.
7. Check your NAT Type
Make sure to check out the NAT Type of your network whether it’s Open (Type 1) or Restricted (Type 3). If it’s Open or Moderate then you can proceed to the next method. But if your NAT Type is Restricted then make sure to go to the router’s admin panel and change the NAT Type.
However, if none of the workarounds found useful to you, make sure to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for further assistance. If there is any issue with your network connectivity or IP address, ask them to change the IP address. If there is any issue with the speed, you can go for a higher internet package or try using an optical fiber connection.
