Is anyone else having network issues?
- Thread starter Woakes
- Start date
I'm getting almost instant connection both from the Frontier launcher and from the Epic one.
Hopefully it was just a little glitch for you.

Maybe a player who launches from steam will be along to comment: although, normally, if it was widespread on steam launch there would be other threads expected to be created.
I had 5x CTD yesterday. 2x error reporting. 1x Orange Sidewinder.
aye, I was thinking that, since there wasn't a massive upheaval on the forums and apologetic pandering of the devs over social media, I kind of assumed it was a local, if not a personal computer issue
Do you happen to have a VPN client (with a software network adapter) installed?
Not that I know off, I asked a mate of mine to check his account (he stopped playing years ago) and he also has no server status in the launcher and the game subsequently racks up a failcounter. He lives on the other side of town.
So it’s local thing.
The question is how big.
We live in the North of Sweden in a town called Skellefeteå, the broadband network is handled by the same company, so irrespective of who you are paying for broadband and cable tv, those companies hire the lines from Skelleftkraft.
Many years ago a cable was cut just south of Uneå and it wiped out the internet for the entire north of Sweden. So there are bottlenecks.
Currently Sweden is in the midst of DOS attacks (the assumption is Russia, naturally). So far these spam/denial of service attacks have compromised a number of booking services at the national level.
I also saw Amazon had launched a new AWS server in Stockholm, (they neglected to mention which year on their website ).
But if the issues were that widespread, then there would be more noise for the Nordic gaming community.

FWIW, the server status in the launcher no longer shows anything for anyone, so that means nothing.
Can't remember, update 13 or 14. In fact it was pretty meaningless before too, as it seemed to show servers up while the game was down for upgrades. Not sure I've ever seen it show the game being down. But it was just to let you know that the launcher shows no server status for anyone at the moment.
as I stated, "not that I know of"
"sometime later"
I notice a little icon in my taskbar...what is that?!?!----something something VPN Client, what???
So I go grab my teenage offspring, who hadn't installed any VPN they promised.
Showed them the client, oh that thing, they were trying to get multiplayer subnautica up and running.
Well I diactivated the VPN but still no joy, but my buddy on the other side of town did actually boot back up into the game, and not just checked the launcher, and yeah they could get in, so it's clearly my machine...
I feel like how Ben Affleck looks.
so many CTD's today I lost count lol Steam or not quite a few were error reporting crashing while tryiing to land at site 3 for thargoid barnacles.
finally did a suck request and that freed me up then I went to site 1 and had no problems.
having a bad day also got attacked by thargoids and lost my meta alloy on my way to Felicity Farseer

From the game's main menu, look under options->network. Make sure the game is set to use ETHERNET (or the name of your wifi adapter, if that's how you roll) like in my screenshot. It should not be set to use the VPN software.
This is why you don't give your teenage offspring administrative access to your machine. Now, write that down on the blackboard 100 times!
Even though I had ended the services and forbade them from starting, ED’s network settings were still jacked into the "new" VPN Ethernet name,and not the hardware name.
So one un-install and reboot later and I finally could get back into the game.
So thanks for the help, everyone.
