Known Fixes for Error 4008
- VPN – Some players report that using a VPN has helped them with error 4008. However, before you take this step, remember:
Check beforehand whether the use of this type of software is legal where you live. What's more, Valve itself (owner of the Steam platform) also disagrees with the use of VPNs in their shop. In the worst case scenario, this can therefore lead to very unpleasant consequences.
- Don't download anything – fans of the game also report that the bug stopped appearing to them if they ceased downloading while playing the game.
- Check your firewall – this is also a common likely cause of error 4008 reported by fans. It is worth considering whether an overly intrusive firewall is creating problems for the game.
- Reset the game – you can always reset the game or the internet connection. However, if this method works, it still won't solve the problem in the long run.
Remember that the developers are aware of the errors. You can help solve problems if you report them on Fatshark's official forum - the link can be found here.
