How to Fix Throne and Liberty Russian Server Connection Issues

Throne and Liberty's Russian server has officially launched, but many players encountered connection failures when trying to join the game right away, receiving the error message "GateServer Connection Timeout," which prevented them from logging in. Is there a way to resolve this connection issue and successfully log in? The solutions in this article may be able to help you.

Why Does "GateServer Connection Timeout" Occur?

According to the official Throne and Liberty team, this is because the server came under a DDoS attack, causing some players to experience connection failures. However, beyond this issue, some players may also be facing other problems:

1. Poor Network Routing — Unstable or inefficient routing nodes between your network and the game server can lead to timeouts and disconnections.
2. Network Congestion — High traffic on your local network or ISP can interfere with your ability to maintain a stable connection.
3. Background Bandwidth Usage — Applications running in the background — such as downloads, updates, livestreams, or video streaming — silently consume bandwidth and can squeeze out the data needed for a smooth game connection.
4. Local Network Issues — In some cases, the problem may not be on the server side at all, but rather an issue with your own internet connection.

How to Connect to the Throne and Liberty Russian Server?

Check Server Status

Before trying other fixes, it is still necessary to verify whether the Throne and Liberty servers are functioning properly, because aside from server downtime or attacks, the issue may sometimes simply be a problem with your own network connection.

You can check the latest server status through Russian gaming forums, the official Telegram channel, and other similar sources.

Fix the Connection with GearUP

GearUP can quickly help you resolve server connection and disconnection issues caused by poor routing nodes or network congestion, allowing you to log back into Throne and Liberty. It accurately identifies game traffic and allocates nodes based on your network environment, automatically switching when it detects network jitter — this is its proprietary Smart Multi-Path technology. This ensures you maintain stable connectivity throughout your gameplay and helps reduce latency in Throne and Liberty.

GearUP

GearUP is popular for its extremely simple usage — no network configuration is required, and connection optimization can be completed in just two steps:

1. Search for Throne and Liberty.
   
2. Select the Russian server.

Check Background Network Bandwidth Usage

Some players like to download or update software, watch livestreams, and stream media while gaming. Even when running silently in the background, these programs constantly consume network bandwidth, squeezing the data transmission for Throne and Liberty — and this is a key cause of latency and Connection Timeout errors. You can quickly close them to free up bandwidth.

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
2. Click the Network column to sort by bandwidth usage.
3. Identify programs consuming high network resources (e.g., browsers, streaming apps, download managers).
4. Select the program and click End Task.
5. Repeat for any other non-essential applications.
6. Relaunch Throne and Liberty and try connecting again.

FAQ About GateServer Connection Timeout

Q1: Does GateServer Connection Timeout mean the server is down?
A: Not necessarily. You should first confirm the server status before determining whether the issue lies with your own network connection.

Q2: What if the server is actually down?
A: In that case, you will simply have to wait for it to be fixed.

Throne and Liberty’s Russian server was immediately popular among many players, which has led to various connection failures. But there is no need to worry: from checking the server status to using GearUP to repair connections, improve stability, and reduce latency, none of these are difficult. Why not give it a try now?
