Nexus Games' new looter shooter, The First Descendant, has experienced quite a warm welcome following its release, nearing the top of Steam's most-played list shortly after launch. Unfortunately, The First Descendant's sudden popularity may be causing a bit of trouble, as the game is now experiencing server issues including failed login attempts. Players are reportedly being met with a "down for maintenance" notice upon attempting to load into the game.
"We have noticed that game connections are temporarily unavailable," Nexus Games shared on Twitter. "We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this error. We are promptly working to identify the cause and resolve it."
Based on a follow-up tweet, it would seem Nexus Games may have pinpointed the source of the problem. The current theory is related to a network error, and devs say they are waiting for the network to recover. It's possible that the game's overnight success could be straining the servers.
