Hero shooters are again in the headlines because FragPunk has taken the hero shooter scene by storm, but not without its share of hiccups. One of the most frustrating issues players are facing in the game is the “Unable to Log In” error, preventing them from jumping into the action. You’re not alone in this. So, here’s our guide to help you get rid of this issue for good with the help of some potential workarounds.
Many FragPunk players are running into a “Network Error” or the “Unable to Connect” message when trying to log in, leaving them stuck on the main screen. You, too, might be confused as to what is causing this error. More importantly, you might be wondering if there is any fix yet for this issue. Well, continue reading to find out.
FragPunk Unable to Log In Error: Is there any fix yet
As of now, there’s no official fix for the FragPunk network error, but there are a handful of potential workarounds that might help. These aren’t guaranteed solutions and may not work for everyone, but they’re still worth trying.
First off- Basic Checks
Before trying any complex fixes, start with some basic troubleshooting steps. Restart your PC, then run both Steam and FragPunk as administrators to make sure they have the necessary permissions. Check your internet connection—restart your router if needed, and if possible, use a wired (Ethernet) connection instead of Wi-Fi for better stability. Lastly, verify whether FragPunk’s servers are down by checking official social media pages, forums, or websites like Downdetector. If the servers are experiencing issues, you will have to wait until they are back online again.
Advanced Security Options
If you’re using an Eero router, or any router for that matter, the issue might be caused by its Advanced Security feature blocking FragPunk’s connection. A potential fix is to disable Advanced Security via the Eero app or the gateway of your ISP. To do this via the Eero app, open the app, navigate to Discover > Eero Secure > Advanced Security, and turn it off. After that, restart your router and try logging in again.
GearUpBooster
Another potential fix is to try using GearUp Booster, a network optimization tool to reduce latency and improve connectivity for online games. It can help you bypass network restrictions, optimize routing, and stabilize your connection. Simply download and install GearUp Booster, select FragPunk from the game list, and let it optimize your network.
VPN
Sometimes, network errors occur due to regional restrictions or server routing issues. Using a VPN can help by changing your virtual location and offering a more stable connection to the game servers. Simply install a VPN, connect to a different region (preferably one where the servers are stable), and then try logging in. Also, if you were already using a VPN, try launching the game without any VPN apps running in the background.
Verify Files
It is also worth trying to validate the game files via Steam or Epic Games Launcher. Corrupted or missing files can sometimes cause connection issues, and verifying the integrity of the game files might resolve the problem. To do this, open Steam, right-click on FragPunk, select Properties, go to the Installed Files tab, and click “Verify integrity of game files.” Steam will then scan and replace any missing or corrupted files. To do this on EGL, go to Library, click on the three-dots option next to the game’s tile, and select Manage>Verify.
Disable Memory Integrity
Disabling Memory Integrity is a bit of an advanced workaround and should be tried if other workarounds fail. So, to disable Memory Integrity under Core Isolation in the Windows settings, go to Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation, then toggle Memory Integrity off. Restart your PC, launch FragPunk again, and see if this fixes the issue.
Firewall
Windows Firewall might be blocking FragPunk’s connection, preventing it from accessing the game servers. Allowing the game through the firewall could resolve the issue. So, open the Control Panel and search for Windows Defender Firewall. Click on Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off (found on the left panel). Turn off both Private and Public network settings (optional, for testing). Click OK to save the changes. Next, click Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall. Click Change settings (you may need admin permission). Click Allow another app and locate the FragPunk game executable. Add it and select both Private and Public options. Click OK, restart your PC, and try launching the game again.
These are all the potential fixes available for now, but hopefully, the developers will address this issue permanently through a future patch or update. Until then, these workarounds should help you get back into the game. To stay on the safer side, make sure to keep FragPunk updated at all times, as the devs may roll out fixes that resolve the login error for good.
