Servers for the wildly popular game, Pokemon Go, have crashed again. This has left millions of users frustrated, who have literally gone into a social media meltdown thinking how to fix Pokemon Go server error.
Several of the Pokemon Go players have branded the app as "unacceptable" after the servers of the game crashed for the second time. Recently, when the players tried to access the game, status message "failed login" started to appear on the screen upon opening the app, according to Daily Mail.
Pokemon Go's server went down on July 16, Saturday after being targeted by a group of hacker. On the same day, the game was also launched in 26 different countries in Europe. The servers of the company have been facing an issue since the time of its launch to satisfy the exploding demand of the game.
Despite the issues, there are some fixes that the frustrated players can try to fix the Pokemon Go app when it is now working. While it is not clear that it will fix the Pokemon Go server error for sure, people should be assured that these are definitely worth the try, according to The Independent.
The developer of the game, Niantic, has promised all the Pokemon Go players that it is trying to make the app more stable. In addition, it has taken the decision to stop rolling out the game until it is properly fixed.
If the app does not load properly, you can start by getting the timing of playing the game right. For example, it is practically impossible to access the game properly in the UK and Europe when its lunch time in the US as a majority of people play around that time, putting more load on the servers.
Secondly, you can try playing the game when you are connected to WiFi than mobile data. Typically, it is expected to make no difference since the problem is with the game servers. However, it seems that it is easier to get on in the game when you are connected through WiFi.
Identify the difference when the game is not loading properly versus when there is a problem with the initial loading screens itself. If the initial loading screens do not open in less than a minute, it is safe to assume that it would not open at all. Under such circumstances, it is better to close the app entirely from the multitasking window of the phone. In case there is a problem with just a few features of the game, such as the appearance of Pokestops and Pokemons, it is worth leaving the app open.
The Pokemon Go app may remain down entirely sometimes. Try performing the above mentioned tricks for a few times and if the app still does not load properly or work, then may be the users should give up for a while.
