Solution 1: Check Server Status
First, check the server status. Before doing anything else, head over to the official website to see if there’s a known outage. If everything’s green, you’re good. If you see a “busy” or “maintenance” icon, the server is down, and you’ll just have to wait. Alternatively, websites like downdetector.com can also help confirm any server issues.
If the servers are up and running, try these steps:
Solution 2: Switch Servers
Sometimes, the solution is as simple as changing your server. Try different regions like Japan or Western America. It’s worked for other players, and it might work for you, too.
Solution 3: Create a New Character
If the server switch doesn’t help, try selecting or creating a new character. Sounds odd, but it has worked for others. If you already have two characters, switch between them.
Solution 4: Run as Administrator
On PC? Right-click the game’s executable file and select “Run as Administrator.” This can resolve permission issues that sometimes block the game.
Solution 5: Uncheck Compatibility Mode
Right-click the game’s .exe file again, head to “Properties,” and uncheck the compatibility mode option if it’s enabled.
Solution 6: Restart Your PC and Steam
Don’t skip this. Just restart your computer and Steam. Sometimes a fresh start can work wonders.
Solution 7: Verify Game Files
Within Steam, go to your game library, right-click Throne and Liberty, and select “Properties.” From there, verify the integrity of your game files to ensure none are missing or corrupted.
Solution 8: Check Time Settings
Make sure your system’s date, time, and time zone are correct. Head to “Time & Language” settings on your PC and ensure everything is set to automatic.
Solution 9: Power Cycle Your Equipment
Shut down your PC, unplug the power cable, and turn off your Wi-Fi router. Wait a few seconds, then plug everything back in and restart.
Solution 10: Run Network Reset Commands
Open Command Prompt (as an administrator) and run the network reset commands provided in the video or game forum. Restart your PC afterward.
ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset
Solution 11: Adjust Antivirus and Firewall Settings
Sometimes, your antivirus or firewall might block the game. Add the game’s .exe file to the exception list of your antivirus program and the Windows Firewall.
Solution 12: Use Google DNS
Changing your DNS to Google’s can sometimes fix connectivity issues. Open Control Panel, head to “Network and Sharing Center,” and change the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 for the primary and 8.8.4.4 for the secondary.
Solution 13: Switch Networks or Use Mobile Hotspot
If you have access to another network, try switching. Mobile hotspot can also work as a temporary fix.
Solution 14: Use an Ethernet Connection
A wired connection is often more stable than Wi-Fi. If you have an Ethernet cable, plug it into your computer and router.
Solution 15: Update Windows
Keeping your Windows system updated is crucial. Go to Windows Update and install any available updates.
Following these steps should help you resolve the server disconnection issue. Hopefully, one of them works for you.
