There are multiple stages where a disconnection may occur, these may include:
- Unable to login
- Unable to download or update
- Receiving an error code
- Unable to matchmake or connect to matches
- Unable to join other parties
If you're having trouble with your connection, please try out the methods below:
- Method 1:
Use a wired connection
Direct connections have always been the strongest & stable method. Using wi-fi may lead to occasional disconnection and result in packet loss, connection problems, or higher latency or ping. Connect directly to your modem or router via ethernet cable.
- Method 2:
Temporarily disable your firewalls
Take care when disabling a firewall and make sure to only do so when testing.
Sometimes firewalls can prevent software from fully functioning.
NB: If the connection issue is resolved after disabling your firewall, make sure to manually apply it to the filter.
- Click on Start.
- Click on Control Panel.
- Click on System and Security.
- Click on Windows Firewall.
- Click on Turn Windows Firewall on or off (You might need to provide the Administrator password at this step)
- Under each Network location, select the Turn off Windows Firewall option
- (Optional) Uninstall any other firewalls.
If this allows you to connect, your Firewall will need to be configured. Please visit the Support site of your Firewall manufacturer if you need assistance.
