How to Fix Arknights: Endfield Unable to Connect to Server

Arknights: Endfield is Hypergryph's new major game, expanding the Arknights universe into a large-scale 3D strategy RPG. In the limited tests, all players are attracted to its expansive gameplay systems and well-crafted world-building.

However, as more players flood into the Endfield, a common issue occurs - disconnections from the server. This guide will explain the meaning of these connection errors, their causes, and solutions to help you return to the battlefields of Arknights as quickly as possible.

Why Does Arknights: Endfield Fail to Connect to Server?

Does a server connection failure mean the server has gone down? Not necessarily. There are more reasons for connection failures than you might imagine:

1. Server overload/maintenance: During updates or peak times, servers may be overloaded, causing slow responses or rejected connections.
2. Regional routing: Cross-region players (e.g., EU/NA) can experience high latency, packet loss, or login/auth failures due to long routing paths.
3. Local network: Unstable Wi‑Fi, ISP throttling, DNS issues, or temporary packet loss can prevent the game from connecting even if general internet use seems fine.
4. Firewall/security software: Firewalls, antiviruses, or router security settings may block the game's network requests.

Fix Server Connection with GearUP

The route your connection takes to the Arknights: Endfield servers is usually not optimal, especially for long cross‑region connections — this is often the key reason for connection failures. To fix this, GearUP provides the simplest solution: it can automatically diagnose your network and switch routing nodes to find a stable, fast route and handle sudden network jitters, addressing the connection problem at its root. GearUP’s biggest advantage is its ease of use — you don’t need to perform any network configuration:

GearUP

1. Search for Arknights: Endfield.
   
2. Choose a server; “Auto” means GearUP will connect you to the currently best server.
   
3. Start boosting; you can view the connection status in real time, then launch the game.
   

Adjust Firewall

1. Open Windows Security from the Start menu.
2. Go to Firewall & Network Protection.
3. Click Allow an app through firewall.
4. Select Change settings, then click Allow another app.
5. Browse and add the Arknights: Endfield game client or launcher.
6. Make sure both Private and Public boxes are checked.
7. Click OK to save the changes.

This ensures the game is not blocked when attempting to connect to the server.

Other Tips

1. Do not run bandwidth‑heavy programs in the background, such as live streaming, downloads, or media streaming.
2. Try to connect to a stable network signal; if you’re playing on a PC, use a wired connection whenever possible.
3. Do not use a VPN — a VPN will not improve connection stability and may even increase latency.
