Playing a game on PC and running into different issues is never fun. With the release of Payday 3, some players have reported a few issues including one in particular called the Nebula Data Error. More specifically, players on PC are getting an error message that says, “Nebula data error. Failed to fetch game config data.” We wrote out whether or not you can fix the Payday 3 Nebula Data Error.

Can you Fix Payday 3 Nebula Data Error?

The Payday 3 Nebula Data Error is an error that only players on PC are experiencing. This doesn’t just prevent players from being able to enjoy Payday 3, but it just flat-out destroys their experience as a whole. Some of the fixes that players are reporting include the following:

  1. Log Out of your Nebula account.
  2. Log back in without linking your Steam account.
  3. Restart the game.

You are also more than welcome to try the following:

  1. Locate your Payday 3 game files on Steam.
  2. Verify the game files.
  3. Any missing game files will be downloaded again automatically.

If the above still isn’t working, then the last resort would be to try the following:

  1. Check your firewall to see if it is blocking the game from moving forward in any way.
  2. Check your antivirus to see if it is pinging the game for any reason.

The developers at Starbreeze Studios have done their part in looking into the issue, hoping to make a more permanent fix sooner rather than later. These sorts of issues tend to happen just after a game is released but getting them fixed can still be frustrating for players. Some players might feel a little cheated at not being able to play just as it’s released alongside the many others who aren’t having this issue. However, we recommend bookmarking this page so that you can always come back to it if you find yourself experiencing the issue again.

If you feel as though you are experiencing this issue again and again, report it to help create the most stable gameplay possible for the future of the game. Regardless, we hope that you are quickly able to fix the issue and get back to doing different heists with your friends.
