Redfall, a new game from Arkane Studios, was released recently and received not the most favorable reviews. Basically, critics drew attention to the superficial gameplay and some technical problems. Although they are not as critical as in other games released this year, players still face problems related to the multiplayer mode.
Like a first person shooter redfall offers a co-op mode where players must work together to defeat marauders. However, many users have reported problems when connecting to a multiplayer game that won't launch or doesn't work properly.
The possible causes of this issue can vary, they can be caused by network connection problems, incorrect security settings, or problems with the game. If you encounter this issue, we recommend trying the following suggestions:
Redfall is riddled with launch day issues, solutions could add to players' frustration with multiplayer not working properly
Many players have reported a "connection error" that prevents the game from connecting to the Bethesda.net servers. Players who cannot connect when trying to play have two possibilities: either there is a problem with the user's Internet connection, or the game itself. Thus, try the following fixes:
1) Check your internet connection
At first glance, it may not be clear if there are any connectivity issues. Players are always advised to check the stability of their internet before digging deeper for other sources of problems. Players may want to reset their router if the Internet is working properly. After that, try to return to the game and see if anything changes.
2) Restart the game
A simple but often effective solution, restarting the game can often remove obstacles on the virtual wheel. This can be done by going to Redfall's main menu and accessing the desktop or console control panel. Click on the game icon to restart it and check if the connection is established.
3) Check the stability of the Redfall server
At the very least, the problem may be in the connection on the side of the game. Due to the fact that the game is available only in online mode, the shutdown of the game for server maintenance is not a surprise. In this case, players should expect the servers to be restored quickly and then try co-op again. Follow the official Redfall and Arkane Studios social media accounts for updates.
4) Check for updates
Admittedly, due to the game's poor launch state, players will see subsequent patches to the game. Try checking for updates, especially if they haven't been updated since you started playing. In most cases, updates will be queued and downloaded directly according to the developer's schedule. However, players can also manually check for any:
On Steam: The option must be set to automatically update the game. However, there are also manual update options. This can be done by right-clicking on the game in the library and then "Properties>Updates" where players can set up update management.
On Xbox: Automatic updates should also be enabled here. However, players can still check by highlighting the game and then pressing the Menu button. Select Manage Game & Addons > Updates for Redfall. If there are any, they can be downloaded manually.
If players have tried all the fixes in the book without success, then the only thing to do is to wait. Arkane Studios will likely be busy trying to push out stability and bug fixes for many of the game's issues. Sooner or later, players plagued by multiplayer bugs are bound to find a fix.
Redfall is developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Released on May 2, 2023, the game is available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
