Where to Check The Outlast Trials Server Status

While Red Barrels hasn’t implemented an official site to constantly monitor The Outlast Trials’s current server status, there are still some easy ways to check if anything is going on with the servers at the moment.

Red Barrels Official Social Media Account

Head for the Red Barrels official X account is one of the quickest methods to get a swift answer to your issues. If any major server problem is currently going down in the game, they will be sure to inform players about it, as well as give us any possible temporary solutions or turnarounds if you’re really eager to get into a match right now.

Community Hubs

Looking into the franchise’s Reddit page or joining the official Outlast Discord server are some alternative ways to get some instant information about the server’s current state. Players will instantly report and confirm any ongoing connection issues they recently had in their matches, so it’s one of the best ways to get concrete info if Red Barrels themselves don’t give you actual info. On the same note, it’s possibly the best way to make sure your own connection isn’t the problem.

How to Fix The Outlast Trials Server Connection Issues

While most problems will possibly be out of your control and you can only wait until the company itself presents a proper solution, you can always try some quick fixes to see if they can help you in any way, such as:

  • Restarting your game and trying to connect to a match;
  • Check for any game updates;
  • Restart your internet connection;
  • Restart your computed;
  • Verify the game files’ integrity/reinstall the game

If nothing of these works, the problems are most likely server-side, so there’s nothing you can do other than wait for a while until they’re fixed. These issues are common during peak periods such as update releases or weekends (when more people are home to play), so be patient. As long as you and your friends have good schedules to play later, you won’t be missing out on those nasty therapy sessions.
