How to Fix Warhammer 40K: Darktide Disconnected from Server Error

Being able to play the game is important.

Warhammer 40000 Darkitde sure sports quite, let’s say, a unique name. What is not unique is that when highly anticipated games release, usually there are a lot of issues post-launch, specially those related to connectivity and server issues on behalf of the developer. Well, this game has been out for a month: had problems at launch, and now new users are reporting problems again. Several players are struggling to even connect to a match, having back to back disconnects to the point they are beginning to collect them. Five, ten, fifteen, even twenty back to back disconnect errors. That’s awful. Anyway, here are a couple of tricks you could do in order to fix “Warhammer 40K: Darktide Disconnected From Server” error.

Like I said before, rest assured that the error is not on your behalf, it is in fact an issue that is plaguing the Fatshark servers currently, apparently due to some kind of overload. Unfortunately, until Fatshark does something, there is nothing that will guarantee that you will be able to play. However, you can follow these troubleshooting tips to attempt to fix “Warhammer 40K: Darktide Disconnected From Server” error.

  • Restart your game and log out from your account. Sometimes forcing the game to reconnect will ensure to validate any data necessary for your connection.
  • Restart your system. The same thing as before, but in a macro way.
  • Reset your internet connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable for maximum connectivity.

Finally, some users have reported that this issue can be fixed by using a VPN of sorts. If you wish to try that solution, you could use any type of VPN to connect to Fatshark’s servers, but the best bet is to try and wait for them to get fixed. Asking the internet for some patience surely is a bold thing to do, but when the issue is not on the player’s side, it is pretty much our only way of proceeding.
