Several gamers on this console have sent crash reports when playing this title. Based on the crash data we have come up with possible solutions to this problem which could occur during multiplayer expeditions, matchmaking, or when playing a multiplayer game. If the problem occurs during your multiplayer game it could be due to server issues. Here’s what you need to do to fix this.

Prerequisite:

• Make sure to update the Xbox software.
• Make sure to update Outriders to eliminate the possibility of a bug causing this problem. There might be a new Xbox patch released to fix this. You can check the patch notes for information on the update.

Solution 1: Check for any server issues

The first thing that you will need to do in this case is to make sure that there are no Outriders server problems. You can check on this by going to the Xbox status webpage.

If an outage is being reported then this might be what’s causing the multiplayer crash. You will have to wait for this to be resolved as this is usually caused by technical issues on the Outriders server side.

Solution 2: Restart Outriders Xbox game

If you experience freezing or crashing when playing then this can be caused by a temporary software glitch or due to technical issues. To fix this you can try to close then launch it.

• Press the Xbox button on your controller.
• Highlight the title.
• Press Menu.
• Select Quit.
• Start Outriders.

Try checking if the problem still occurs.

Solution 3: Restart the console

Performing a power cycle on the Xbox will refresh its system and remove any corrupted temporary data that could be causing the problem. To do this just press the Xbox button on the console for 10 seconds or until it turns off. Turn on the Xbox after a few seconds then try running Outriders again then check if it still crashes.

Solution 4: Use a different profile

One factor that can cause this problem is if your profile data is corrupted. You can check if this is the culprit by using a different profile.

• Press the Xbox button on the controller.
• Select Profile & System.
• Select Add or switch.
• Try using a different profile. If only one profile is available then select the Add new option to add another profile that you can use for checking.

If the problem does not occur when using this new profile then you will need to remove your original profile from the Xbox then add it again.

Solution 5: Clear the local save file

Sometimes the problem can be caused by a corrupted saved Outriders file. If this is what’s causing the problem then you will need to delete this file then resync with the cloud.

• Press the Xbox button on your controller.
• At the Home tab open My games & apps.
• Select See all
• Highlight Outriders then press the menu button on the controller.
