When there is a major event in Free Fire it often happens that many players point out that they have connection problems, and now that the Halloween update has been released, such reports have been emerging.
Server problems generally come with messages like “High traffic network, please try again” or “Network connection error”, so if you are faced with this situation we have some ways to resolve it and be able to play again.
To start, here are some steps that they recommend on the official Garena site for the network connection error:
This error message appears when your connection is unstable. You have an internet connection, but it can be intermittent and lose your signal from time to time.
- Always use WiFi when available, but remember that free or open WiFi generally provides low bandwidth.
- If possible, try switching from WiFi to data or vice versa and check which connection is better.
- If you are using data, make sure your signal is strong and that you are using the correct mobile communications standard when on mobile data (4G or LTE).
- Close other applications before opening Free Fire. It is also a good idea to check and close the applications that are running in the background.
- Turn off your device regularly to troubleshoot IP and DNS issues. We recommend restarting your device every 5 days.
Is there any other solution?
Another solution that is recommended by players is to download TunnelBear VPN, which is a very simple VPN application to use. They must enter that application and move to the nearest “tunnel”, then exit and reload Free Fire and it should connect, although they must bear in mind that it will not load their friends list or other options.
After this they must return to the TunnelBear VPN application and deactivate it, this is important since if they play with the VPN activated the connection will be very slow. After disabling the VPN you should go back to Free Fire and the game should connect without problems.
