The true single-world MMORPG “Bitcraft Online” is finally released in Early Access for players to try out their new giant shared world. Currently, players have a mixed reaction to the game; one of the reasons causing this is the errors and issues that many are facing. Frequent crashes and errors are seen to be causing player frustration. Many players reported they have started facing HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error, causing them to be unable to enter the game. In this guide, we’ve shared everything there is to know about the issue, what’s causing it, and its possible fixes.
The 500 Internal Server Error means something has gone wrong with the game’s server, but it hasn’t been specifically identified. In BitCraft’s case, this can be due to server overload as a result of high player traffic, temporary backend crashes or maintenance, or unstable updates. The game developers have also acknowledged the issue and released a fix for it, which seems to have resolved the issue, well for most of the players, as there are still a few players experiencing this issue. This type of error usually indicates a problem on the game’s server-side, not on your end—but there are still a few things you can try while waiting for a full fix.

BitCraft Online HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error: Is there any fix yet?
Wait for a while
Since this error usually originates from the game server, the best solution might just be to wait it out. As the developers have already released a fix for the 500 error, server-side fixes can sometimes take a bit of time to fully propagate and resolve for all players. Try again after 10-20 minutes, or even an hour, to see if the issue has cleared up.
Check Official Channels for Server Status
Always check BitCraft Online’s official social media (like their Twitter/X or Discord server) and their Steam announcements page. Developers often post real-time updates on server status, maintenance, and known issues.
Restart the Game and Steam
While less likely to fix a server-side 500 error, performing a clean restart of both the BitCraft Online client and your Steam launcher can sometimes clear up minor connection glitches.
Don’t use VPN
If you are using a VPN, make sure to disable it before launching the game. VPN services might be blocking the game’s access to its servers, due to which you are encountering the issue. So, disabling this should fix the problem.
Report the Issue to the Developers
If you continue to experience the HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error despite the developer’s statement that it’s resolved and after trying the steps above, or if you encounter any other persistent issues, it’s best to report it directly to the development team. Ensure your issue is seen by submitting a bug report through their dedicated support portal (e.g., support.bitcraftonline.com/hc/en-us) or by emailing contact@bitcraftonline.com.
The team at Clockwork Labs is actively working to ensure a stable and engaging experience as they navigate this Early Access phase.
