The Elden Ring “Unable to connect to the network” error message is not what players want to see when trying to dive back into the game. This error can appear on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and can be a real pain. Happily, there are ways to fix the issue. Here’s how to fix the Elden Ring “Unable to connect to the network” error.
Elden Ring “Unable to connect to the network” error
To fix the Elden Ring “Unable to connect to the network” error, players should:
- Make sure that their system is connected to the internet.
- Whether it’s PC, PS5, PS4, or an Xbox, there are a variety of ways that all systems can lose their connection to the internet.
- Make use of a wired connection, instead of wireless.
- A wired connection often provides a much more stable and consistent connection than wireless. As convenient as wireless is, it can struggle to go through walls and other objects.
- Ensure the latest Elden Ring update is installed.
- Use your system’s “Check for update” function to make sure there isn’t an available patch. Install this and then you should be able to connect to the network.
- Check to see if the Elden Ring servers are up and running.
- If there’s any planned or unscheduled downtime, the official @EldenRing Twitter account should let you know.
- Use social media to see if others are struggling with the same problem.
- Search the error message on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media services to see if other players are having the same issue. If they are, then the problem is likely an issue with the game and will require the developer to step in and fix it.
The “Failed to log in” error message is another big issue that players can run into. Here’s how to go about fixing it. When you do get connected, be sure to choose the best starter gift. Oh, and don’t mind the players telling each other to “finger but hole.”
