If you’re diving into the new Supercell game, Everdale, you might be greeted with a pesky error message. The most common one right now is the “Waiting for initial time sync” error, which is often linked to your internet connection. If you’re trying to build up your peaceful village in the game and can’t get past this error, fear not – we’ve got the fix.
Everdale “Waiting for initial time sync” error fix
To fix the Everdale “Waiting for initial time sync” error, you’ll first want to make sure your device’s internet settings are active. This means making sure that you’re either connected to Wi-Fi, or using mobile data. If your Wi-Fi is known for being patchy, try booting the game using 4G. Usually, that should get rid of the error. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, your next port of call should be the official Everdale website, or their Twitter. If there’s problems with the servers causing game downtime, it’ll say over there.
Once you’ve checked that your internet connection is fine and the game’s servers are active, then it’s likely something wrong with your mobile device. We recommend fully closing the app and reopening to see if that sorts the issue. If not, try turning your device off and back on. Failing that, try deleting Everdale and reinstalling. If you’ve taken all these steps, you’ll likely have dealt with the “Waiting for initial time sync” error.
Usually, the “Waiting for initial time sync’ error message comes up as a result of your device’s connection to the internet. It’ll appear if your device is offline, meaning the game is unable to communicate with the server.
