How to Fix Disconnection Issues in Highguard

The brand-new action shooter Highguard has attracted the attention of many players. Players will take on the role of Guardians — gunslingers proficient in arcana — riding horses, fighting, and looting, battling for control of a mysterious continent.

Like all shooter games, Highguard not only requires lower ping, but also needs a stable connection to the game servers to reduce disconnects or connection failures, which is exactly what troubles some players. Therefore, this article will share methods to solve Highguard connection problems.

What Affects Highguard Connections?

Many players know that server connection problems are related to the network, but that is a rather general statement. More specifically, the factors that affect connections include:

• The status of Highguard servers
• Whether the connection nodes (routes) are functioning properly
• Whether the local network is affected

Connection failures typically occur in:

• Disconnects during PvP or cooperative missions
• Unable to reconnect to the server after a match ends
• Sudden latency spikes followed by being forcibly logged out
• Failed logins during peak hours

If you also encounter these problems, you can follow the methods below to troubleshoot and resolve them.

Steps to Fix Highguard Disconnection Problems

Step 1: Check Highguard server status

If the server happens to be down, you will not be able to connect, or if the server has just opened, many players joining at the same time may cause server congestion. So you should first check the Highguard server status:

Step 2: Confirm your local network

Many players ignore local network usage issues. Simply put, if other programs on your device are using a lot of network bandwidth, or other devices are connected to the same network, they may affect your game traffic and cause Highguard lag or disconnections. Therefore:

• Close unnecessary programs, such as live streaming, downloads, streaming media, etc.
• Move other devices to different Wi‑Fi bands and try not to have them use large amounts of network traffic simultaneously
• If your router supports it, enable QoS or game mode

Step 3: Use GearUP to optimize the connection

This is the key step to solving Highguard connection problems, because players cannot adjust the nodes provided by ISPs. You need GearUP’s help: it will compute the best route to the target server and then switch nodes for you, bypassing parts that have faults or instability, thereby resolving connection failures. Of course, first make sure the server is functioning normally.

GearUP

GearUP solves not only connection problems but also the issue that players do not want to configure networks. Its minimalist design no longer requires players to understand network parameters — one click completes the connection optimization:

1. Launch GearUP and search for Highguard.
   
2. Select a server; Auto means GearUP will match the currently best server for you.
   
3. Start the boost, then launch Highguard to get a low-latency experience, and do not close GearUP during this time.
   

Other FAQs

Q1: Is a wired connection better than Wi-Fi for Highguard?

Yes. Wired connections are generally more stable and less prone to interference.

Q2: Can GearUP help if I play Highguard from another region?

Yes. Cross-region players benefit the most from optimized routing and reduced packet loss.

Q3: Why do I keep disconnecting even though my internet is fast?

A fast connection doesn’t guarantee stability. Packet loss, routing issues, and network interference can still cause disconnects.

Conclusion

We know you're itching to dive into Highguard. With its cool weapons and innovative gameplay, it sounds like a blast. Of course, all games can experience connection issues. If you run into any problems, start by checking the server status and your network connection to troubleshoot potential causes. When you're at a loss, GearUP Game Accelerator is a reliable solution.
