How to fix problems with Paint by Number
Start with the outage graph above. Mobile games depend on more moving parts than they look like they do - the game servers, the app store, and often an ad or login provider.
- Close Paint by Number completely and reopen it, rather than switching away
- Try Paint by Number on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, or the other way round
- Check whether the game store account is signed in
- Make sure the Paint by Number app and your browser are up to date
- Free up storage space; a full device breaks saves in confusing ways
- Restart your device - it clears more temporary faults than it has any right to
Frequently asked questions about Paint by Number
The game opens but will not load past the splash screen.
That is the usual shape of a server-side outage on mobile: the app is fine, the thing it phones home to is not.
Will my purchases survive?
Purchases are tied to your store account rather than the session, so they return with the service. Restore purchases once Paint by Number is working if they do not appear.
How do I know if Paint by Number is down for everyone?
Look at the outage graph above. A sudden spike in reports means the problem is on the Paint by Number side and there is nothing to fix at your end. A flat graph points at something local - your connection, your device, or your account.
Paint by Number is down. What can I actually do?
When the reports are widespread, waiting is the honest answer - the game is being restored by people who already know about it. Before you settle in, it is worth checking your internet connection and reloading Paint by Number once, because that rules out the handful of causes that look identical from your side.
Why is Paint by Number working for other people but not for me?
Outages are often partial. They can hit one region, one platform, or one group of accounts while everything else carries on. Your own connection, an old app version or a cached login can also produce a problem only you can see.
