Attempt 1: Turn Off VPN
The first thing players can try is to shut off any VPN they have active. It has been found consistently by players experiencing the error that it is related to network connectivity, and in some cases, a player’s VPN will mess up the connection toGenshin Impact’s servers. Players should be careful with this one, no matter how badly they want tolevel up inGenshin Impact, since VPNs impacts more than just the game.
Attempt 2: Private Wi-Fi
Players have also reported that the error message is encountered most often with public Wi-Fi. This is often the case when playingGenshin Impacton a cellphone away from home. Considering the fact thatGenshin Impact has been downloaded over 17 million times on mobile, that’s a situation a lot of players deal with. Switching to a private Wi-Fi or cellular data network might work, but if neither available, there are other options.
Attempt 3: Reset Device
It is a cliche to try “turning it off and on again,” but it is a cliche for a reason. Resetting or turning a console or mobile device off and then on again can reset its internet connection. It’s a quick fix, and it may not work, but if it does players can jump back intoGenshin Impactwith plenty of time to get Elemental Crucible rewards.
Attempt 4: Reset Connection
If resetting the device directly doesn’t work, players may have to directly reset their internet connection. Whether this is done through router or ethernet cable, hopefully, the reset connection will dust off the error. With luck, players will soon be experiencingthe best thatGenshin Impacthas to offer again soon.
