The brand-new PvP team raid shooter Highguard has launched on all platforms. Although the launch version still has quite a few issues, it has attracted many players worldwide. However, many players encounter obstacles when logging into the game—frequent connection failures and authentication problems prevent them from entering the game normally. After our tests, we have now found effective methods to solve Highguard login failures. Let’s take a look.

Highguard Login Issues

Many players, especially Russian players, report encountering various login problems when entering the game, including:

  • Login failure
  • Login succeeds but cannot enter training
  • Stuck on loading
  • After logging in, automatically returned to the menu
    This fault does not seem to be caused by some local network problem on the player’s side; it looks more like a game restriction or a public network connection issue.

Solutions for Highguard Login Failures

Check Highguard Server Status

Although Highguard has deployed numerous servers, a large number of players joined at launch, and it may not be guaranteed that every server can provide stable connections. So it’s best to first confirm that the server you are currently connected to is operating normally. Here are several common methods:

Use GearUP to Help You Log in

Login problems often come from poor connection nodes or nodes being restricted. To solve this issue you need GearUP, an entirely intelligent network optimization assistant. It diagnoses in real time and switches nodes to improve connection stability, and reduces Highguard’s ping. While resolving connection failures it can also improve game smoothness. Many FPS players are heavy users of GearUP.

Download GearUP

  1. Launch GearUP and search for Highguard.

  3. Start the boost, then launch Highguard to get a low-latency experience, and do not close GearUP during this time.

Of course, if you play Highguard on PS5 or Xbox, you can also try HYPEREV from GearUP. This is a game router designed for living-room gameplay scenarios. With it you don’t need to start a PC to accelerate your console—just use a mobile app to control HYPEREV, connect it to your main router, and complete the network optimization.

Other Suggestions

In addition to the above fixes, please also pay attention to your local network usage to avoid extra factors affecting your login connection, for example:

  • Don’t let your Wi‑Fi signal be interfered with; don’t connect through several walls
  • Don’t run many live streams, downloads, or streaming programs at the same time, which will occupy the network
  • Don’t arbitrarily change DNS or use a VPN; they almost never solve login problems and cannot reduce latency
  • If you are on the Steam version, verify file integrity

Other Questions

Q1: Do Highguard login problems only occur in Russia?

No. Players in many regions have reported issues, but currently reports are more concentrated in Russia.

Q2: Has Highguard been banned in some regions?

There is no related news at present; Highguard remains open to players worldwide.

Q3: Which Highguard server is better to connect to?

It depends on your region. We recommend connecting to a server closer to you. You can use GearUP to select the server.

Summary

Highguard login failures are one of the main issues many players reported during the game’s launch, but rest assured this problem should not persist for long and is not unsolvable. Currently, GearUP provides a stable and effective solution. If you still cannot log in, try it now. Enjoy the game.
