FragPunk derailed by ‘login timed out’ error and server issues, throttling hyped release

"Network error," go away!

If you’ve been enjoying the new FPS title FragPunk, well, you’re probably not enjoying it RIGHT now. Because the game is having some hardcore server problems.

The servers are inaccessible for most players, who are instead being met with a “login timed out” message, forcing gamers who have been playing the recent release digging into their game libraries to try something else, or touch grass.

As of now, the game’s official Twitter/X account has not posted anything about the issue. The “network error” that has made players “unable to connect to server” hasn’t been causing issues for all that long, but that’s not stopping fans of the new title from rushing to Steam to see if others also can’t play.

FragPunk is a unique, sort of roguelike round-based FPS game where each round is different thanks to random player buffs and oddities that are picked each round. The free-to-play, five-vs-five hero/tactical shooter dropped just last week and has gained some early momentum as a refreshing spin on a tried and true genre.

The game currently has over 27,500 players online during the unscheduled server downtime, and that’s just including those who are still trying to log in as the game experiences server problems. The FPS is currently only available on PC via Steam, but there are plans to bring it to both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S as well.

The outage comes a day before the game’s first Twitch Rivals tournament, including captains shroud and TenZ fielding their own teams against each other across a variety of modes over the course of two days. Hopefully these issues are resolved by then.

A new update patch for the game went live this afternoon, but there has been no further communication from the game’s developers at Bad Guitar Studio just yet.
