However, Garena has remained unperturbed with respect to the whole situation while they have been pretty active on social media platforms. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe developers have also updated different social media accounts of the game, but no statement or acknowledgment regarding the issue has been released. Additionally, there haven't been any reports on the game's official website.How to resolve the network issue?The game is still unavailable in application stores (Image via Google Play)The majority of users who have reported network-related issues are from India. Many players with different broadband or cellular networks have faced problems opening the game, while some can still access it.Hence, it is still too early to presume that the game has been banned. Although the discontinuation of access and removal from the application stores seem odd, players should wait for the official word as the game's website is still online.Players can expect a resolution of issues in a few hours or download the MAX variant to access their player IDs.
