Now we will find out what it is worth doing if you suddenly couldn’t connect to the server while playing. These situations are common among fans of online games. And they should not cause panic. After all, it is often possible to correct the situation easily and simply. There are exceptions. But they are rare. And only in some cases it is necessary to really raise a panic. Let's think about why the message says: "Could not connect to the server."
the Internet
The first scenario, perhaps, is very common. And you don’t need to be afraid of him. After all, the occurrence of our error today is the fault of the user. It all lies in the Internet connection.
If you saw the inscription: "Could not connect to the server", then it's time to check if there is a network signal. Most likely, he is absent. This can be an ordinary Internet “crash”, a modem reboot, or an accident at the station. The main thing is to find out the reason why the connection is missing.
Call your provider and ask if everything is OK at the station. Explain that you have lost the connection. In case of an accident, wait until it is fixed, and then continue to work with the Internet. If your modem is faulty, replace it. Did the settings go wrong? Return them back and renew the authorization attempt. Happened?
Work
Not? Then we think further why it is not possible to connect to the server. For example, you can see the news on the official website of the game. Perhaps, just at this time, the server is undergoing technical work or a new update is being downloaded. In the news about such events, it is customary to write in advance.
What to do if the problem arises precisely for this reason? Just wait. Nothing depends on you here. As soon as the update is downloaded, as well as all technical / preventive maintenance is completed, you can connect and play again. So be patient.
By the way, if the work on the servers is planned, then the exact time of the administration will be announced about a day before the event. So, a message like "Failed to connect to the server" should not scare you. Plus, often the time in the news is written Moscow. Do not try to start the game in local time before the work is completed. You still won’t succeed. Only once again lose time, and spend your nerves.
Overload
But there are other situations when you have to see the message: "Cannot connect to the server." What to do? Search for a reason. For example, quite often such events disturb users of popular online games during the holidays and holidays. Why is this so?
All because of the large influx of visitors. The main server cannot handle the load. And therefore does not let some users into the game. In order not to "burn out." So the server keeps the toy working. In the event that there is suspicion of an overload, it is enough to wait a while and retry the authorization attempt. Most likely, as soon as the flow of visitors decreases, you can again get into the game. And there will be no problems.
Viruses and hacking
A panic should cause such moments as the probability of hacking your account and, accordingly, infection of the operating system. If in the case of viruses it is still possible to somehow fix the situation, then it is extremely difficult to return a hacked account in games.
Scan the system, treat all dangerous objects, and remove the remnants. Clean the computer registry (you can manually, using CCleaner). Then reboot and try authorization again. If the operating system is clean, then the problem is precisely in hacking your account.
What to do? The first step is to contact the administrators of the toy. Prove to them that you are the real owner of the account, and then ask them to return your access to the profile. This kind of technique works only in rare cases. So rely on him is not particularly worth it.
The second scenario is the registration of a new profile. Just now try to make sure that you are not hacked. As soon as you confirm the action, renew your attempts to enter the game of your choice. Now the message “Failed to connect to the server” will not bother you.
As you can see, there are few dangerous situations in our question today. And so do not panic. In fact, the problem of connecting to servers in games is very common. You just need to know the reasons for this error. In principle, if you saw that you were unable to connect to the server, it is better to check the Internet and read the news on the game’s website. Most likely, after this the situation will become clearer.
