How to fix the Payday 3 Nebula connection data error

Here’s how to fix the Payday 3 Nebula connection data error that’s been stopping people from logging in to the game.

While our Payday 3 review sings praise for gameplay and environment, we had no idea the scope of the game’s networking issues. With matchmaking basically broken, alongside the PS5 version of the game hardly working, there’s now recurring issues with being unable to create an Nebula account. Now, the next issue pertains to a Payday 3 Nebula data error – so let’s go over whether or not you can do anything about it.

Payday 3 Nebula connection data error – how to fix

The issue with Payday 3’s Nebula data error hasn’t got a certain fix, though there’s one workaround that’s been helping players get online.

In order to solve the Payday 3 Nebula data error, your best chance is going to be by logging into your Starbreeze account without having linked your Steam account. This is only possible if you’ve made a Starbreeze account prior to their servers essentially going down.

Here’s how to do it:

• Follow instructions for Starbreeze Nebula log in
• Type username and password, rather than linking Steam account
• If you don’t have this option, log out of your Steam link

This is not a guaranteed fix for the issue by any means, but you’re going to have a fighting chance of getting into Payday 3’s heists this way.

The best thing to do is wait until Payday 3’s server issues are solved by the development team. This is not really the news that anyone wants to be told, but there’s nothing we can do about that – unfortunately. Had we been equipped with the best stealth build in Payday 3, we might have been able to hack you into the game, but alas.
