A common The Day Before servers full issue is frustrating many players who purchased the game, especially during Early Access. Even if people can get past the crashing errors and server disconnecting problems, many can’t find a server to enter at all. Given the incredibly high interest for the game as the #2 most wishlisted game on Steam, it’s confusing that developer FNTASTIC didn’t create enough servers to support the volume of players at launch. Here’s what you can do if the servers are full and you’re trying to enter The Day Before on PC.
How to get into The Day Before if the servers are full
There are some solutions you can try if you find that all of the The Day Before servers are full:
- Refresh the game – You can check back regularly to see if a server still has any slots open. Even if a server says that it is at “High” instead of “Full”, there may not be any slots available. Re-entering the game, hitting the Refresh button, or changing to a different region may give you the opportunity to fill in an empty slot for the server.
- Wait for the server volume to decrease – We recommend trying to enter a server later during nighttime hours and other times when others will likely be asleep. The number of slots in each server is very limited. At the time of this writing, The Day Before just came out, so interest is incredibly high, but the number of active players is expected to drop a bit after launch.
- Refund the game – Worse case scenario, you can always request a refund on Steam so long as you meet the requirements. You can purchase the game later once the developer fixes all of the bugs and hopefully has more servers available to satisfy the user base.
We recommend checking out the official social media sites for The Day Before to see when more servers will become available, if at all. It’s possible that the developer will add more servers per region as the game continues in Early Access, though we believe that they should have more prepared right from the start.
