With how the Elden Ring Nightreign network tests have fared, it’s not going to be a surprise to see the game run into a few network errors every now and then or if the game crashes on PC.
Considering that it’s a live service title, such network errors can be extremely annoying and hamper gameplay experience too.
So, if you’re constantly running into network issues while storming the lands in between with your friends on different classes, here are some fixes that you can try.
How to fix Elden Ring Nightreign network error
If you suddenly see that you’ve been removed from an online environment and are placed in an offline environment, know that you’ve run into a network error in Elden Ring Nightreign.
The usual suspects for such instances are either a poor network connection on your end, or it has something to do with the server load.
While you can’t really do much about the server side of things, you need to ensure that everything is working as intended on your end. Here are a few options that you can use to troubleshoot if you run into this error:
- Check if your network devices are working properly. More often than not, poorly configured network devices cause a host of issues, and frequent disconnections is one of them.
- Check your NAT type. If your NAT Type is strict, you’re likely going to have some trouble finding game lobbies. In such cases, it’s best to forward the ports that Elden Ring Nightreign uses, for seamless gameplay experience.
- While you’re checking the NAT type, be sure to check if your firewall is blocking the game from connecting to the servers. In case that happens, you might have to create an exception for the game’s launcher to let it pass through the firewall unhindered.
- Nightreign is a game that has low requirements, so it doesn’t need a very powerful internet connection to run. While the developers haven’t really mentioned a base level for the connection that you need, anything above 512 Kb/s should be good enough to run it smoothly.
- Lastly, try verifying your game files. Sometimes, corrupt game files cause network errors too. In case this doesn’t work, performing a clean install of Elden Ring Nightreign should help fix the network errors.
In case, none of these methods work, then it’s likely that something’s wrong with FromSoftware’s servers. So, check their official channels on social media to see if the servers are up and running.
