Continuing the trend of poorly optimised PC ports, Redfall made its way onto our computers and Xbox Series consoles. New title from renowned Arkane Studios is under fire due to the game’s generic gameplay, poor enemies AI and high price of 70USD. If that is not enough, players who decided to buy Redfall are reporting the Arknet connection lost message which is a result of „always online” policy that the game adopted. If you are facing this problem, you can find here some tips on how to fix it.
Redfall connection issues explained
Due to „always online” feature that was implemented in the game, even if you would like to play Redfall solo, you have to be connected to the Internet.
It is said that Redfall servers were turned off on release. The reason of this is supposedly the fact that many players used VPN to check out the game earlier. However, it is not confirmed. Regardless of the reason, lack of connection cased many issues for people who wanted to enjoy the game. Even few hours after the launch, some of the players state that they still encounter the “Arknet Connection Lost” message. If you experience this error, you will have to start again in the base and lose your mission progress.
Arknet Connection Lost fix
The first thing to do when you see an error screen informing about „Arknet Connection Lost” is to check if Redfall servers are online on official Bethesda site. If the servers are not operational, there is unfortunately nothing that can make the game playable.
From the player’s perspective there is not much to be done except for checking your internet connection. It is always recommended to use LAN cable for the Internet access whenever possible. Even though the wireless technology is rapidly developing, the cable connection will always be less susceptible to interferences. As a last-ditch attempt, you can try turning your router off and on again.
