ARC Raiders and Fortnite ar experiencing widespread outages on christmastide eve, with players crossways PC, PS5, and Xbox reporting the ART00004 web Timeout error. Downdetector, a platform that tracks online outages, showed that about 35,000 users in the US reported the ARC Raiders downtime.
This issue, which prevents connection to game servers, has been linked to a server overload. The game company is yet to issue a statement.
“When Arc Raiders servers go down on Xmas Eve,” one person reacted on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Many Services & Games are currently down. AWS, Fortnite, Steam, ARC Raiders, Marvel Rivals, EA,” a second person tweeted.
The ART00004 error, reading ‘Retrieving data from backend services timed out – please try again later’, typically indicates a server-side issue but can sometimes be mitigated locally.
Check Server Status: Visit Downdetector.com or the ARC Raiders Discord/X (@ARCRaidersGame) for real-time outage updates. If servers are down, as reported today, wait for Embark to restore stability.
Restart Game and Launcher: Fully close ARC Raiders and Steam/Epic Games Launcher (exit via system tray). Relaunch both to reset the connection.
Power-Cycle Router: Unplug your modem/router for 30–60 seconds, then reconnect. This clears cache issues that may cause local timeouts.
Verify Game Files (PC): On Steam, right-click ARC Raiders > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files to fix corrupted data.
Switch to Wired Connection: Wi-Fi can be unstable; use an Ethernet cable for better stability. Avoid VPNs, which may disrupt server authentication.
Earlier in the day, the Steam Store was down for thousands in the US. The error, described as a "Bad Gateway," stemmed from overloaded Valve servers or content delivery network (CDN) failures.
