Check your internet connection

The first thing you’ll want to do if you’re getting the “something went wrong” error is to check your connection. Any drops in your internet could have caused the issue.

If you’re playing through wifi, we suggest connecting your console or PC to a wired connection. Alternatively, try the classic ‘turn it off and on’ trick. It’s cliche but it works.

Verify game files on Steam

If your wifi is stable and that didn’t work, then PC players will want to verify their game files on Steam. Plenty of players who preordered and preinstalled the game have reported issues with the error, all of which were fixed by verifying the game files.

To do so, follow the below steps:

  6. Wait for the files to verify.
  7. Once this is done, it’ll essentially tell you if you have any broken files. If you do, it’ll fix them. All you need to do is reload the game and prepare to head back in and grab that Monster Fluid.
