5. Check the Server Status
It’s always a better idea to follow the official Wayfinder Twitter account to get all the latest updates and info regarding game issues or server downtime. Recently, there was a huge spike in the server outage issue that we can’t deny. Even though the developers did roll out a server-side update to resolve the queue login issues, some players are still facing it. Therefore, you should check out the server status before jumping to any conclusions.
Wayfinders, we have a server update.
Our team is seeing great progress on the server side of things. More and more Wayfinders are able to enter the game while maintaining server stability.

6. Whitelist the Game on the Firewall
Well, you can try whitelisting the Wayfinder program in the Windows Firewall protection by following the steps below to avoid game-launching issues in most scenarios.

- Click on Add and make sure to save changes.
If none of the methods did come in handy then make sure to contact Wayfinder Support for further assistance. Provide all the necessary details and the specific issue to the support agent or create a ticket. We’re expecting that developers will try investigating the issue and improving the server-side issue.
