PUBG Mobile server not responding error hints to issues related to the internet or server. Since PUBG is an online multiplayer game, errors like this fully halt the game. The ‘server did not respond’ error usually happens when the servers are down or too busy. PUBG requires strong and stable internet connection too so, slow internet connection can be at fault too.
When Playerground’s Battleground (PUBG) first came out as a beta in 2017, it was full of bugs and glitches. But ever since its official release, the bugs are slowly being eradicated. However, there still are an insignificant number of errors that still exist. One of those errors is Server did not respond error.
The game takes too much to load and throws a PUBG error box that states “Server did not respond. Please return to the login page and try again” like shown in the picture below:
How To Fix PUBG Server Did Not Respond Error?
The first thing you should do is do some basic checks that include the following:
-PUBG servers are up and running. No notice of maintenance like shown the picture below:
-Your Internet Connection is working and stable
-Your Internet speed and ping is enough to play a multiplayer online game
-You aren’t using your Mobile Data
Once you do these, try restarting the app. If even restarting doesn’t help, change your DNS. When the DNS server your ISP is using isn’t working properly, you can’t be connected to the game’s server.
