Starting Fallout 76 Shows “Vault-Tec Engineers Are Hard At Work Getting Our Servers Back Online! (FailedBackend)”

Asked By marcellatierra 30 points N/A Posted on - 05/23/2019

It’s weekend so I wanted to relax. I tried playing Fallout 76 to continue my pending missions. I’ve been playing this game for almost a week now and the game runs fine.

But when I started the game today, this message saying “Vault-Tec engineers are hard at work getting our servers back online! (FailedBackend)” appeared on my screen and I can’t play the game. I tried restarting the computer but no use. Is there a way to fix this?

Starting Fallout 76 Shows “Vault-Tec Engineers Are Hard At Work Getting Our Servers Back Online! (FailedBackend)”

If you play Fallout 76, you may receive the message “Vault-Tec engineers are hard at work getting our servers back online! (FailedBackend)”. If you happen to receive this, exit the game completely. Next, expand the apps in the system tray then right-click the Bethesda.net Launcher and select “Quit”. After this, start the Bethesda.net Launcher again.

If you’re playing on PlayStation, disconnect any other PlayStation consoles from the internet then try again. If this doesn’t work, try adding these two files to your antivirus or firewall’s exceptions:

• Fallout 76.exe – located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda.net Launcher\games\Fallout76”
• BethesdaNetLauncher.exe – located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda.net Launcher”

Try disabling your antivirus or firewall temporarily.
