After a very long wait, Payday 3 is finally upon us. Even though we haven't quite hit the game's fabled release date, the Technical Open Beta is ongoing but not without some fault. One of the most annoying problems with online games is the inability to connect to it. For the Payday 3 Open Beta, this is no exception. So how do you fix the No Network Connection error in Payday 3? Here are a few suggestions.
How to fix No Network Connection Error in Payday 3
There is no hard fix for the No Network Connection error but that doesn't mean there aren't potential solutions that can solve the problem for you:
- Check Server Status - The servers are up and active. I can attest to this. Still, as this is a Technical Open Beta, there may be times when you simply connect to the servers due to downtime, unplanned or not.
- Whitelist Payday 3 - Antivirus and even Firewalls are notorious for preventing connections from going through due to a false flag. Be sure to double-check that your software isn't preventing Payday 3 from connecting to the servers.

- Restart your Internet Connection - Sometimes your connection will fail simply due to an unexplainable error with no forward face. Unplugging your router and replugging it might be enough to fix your problem.
- Use a Wired Connection - Despite Wi-Fi now being prevalent, a wired connection will almost always be better to use, especially if you're having any kind of connectivity issues.
If these solutions still haven't fixed your problem, odds are the issue is on Payday 3's end. In such a case, you'll have to wait until the problem is resolved to get your hands on the Open Beta. As unfortunate as that is, it's better for these types of issues to appear now than when the game fully releases. A little patience can go a long way, so if you're still having problems, feel free to take a break and try connecting again in a few hours. You might be surprised by the result.
