Repetitive pop-ups of Error Code 2 have been frustrating a large number of players in Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. With the game currently sitting at a “Mostly Negative” review status on Steam, it’s no surprise that it’s experiencing its share of technical issues. Although the developers have acknowledged the problem and vaguely suggested players “change your network environment,” many users are still stuck at the login screen, staring helplessly at Error Code 2 with no clear fix in sight.
Shadowverse Worlds Beyond can display “Error 2” during launch or matchmaking, signaling a problem with connecting to the game servers. Unlike explicit in-game errors, this one offers no additional details, making it frustrating without context. The most common reason for this is because the game has blocked certain country regions (BE, NL, CN, …), so whenever they try to connect to the game, they face this Error Code 2. Surprisingly, even people in non-blocked regions are facing the issue. In this article, we will share a few tested workarounds shared by the community that seem to work for many. So, continue reading.

Use a VPN
This is by far the most widely reported and effective solution. Many players stuck with Error Code 2 in the game have resolved it by connecting to a VPN server in a different region. Players have reported success connecting to servers in Osaka (Japan) or Romania. Experiment with different locations to see what works for you. Simply close the game, connect to a VPN server in a working region, and then restart Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond. Some users report not needing to keep the VPN on after the initial login/download.
Restricted Region
If you are playing the game from a blocked region/country, then just switching to a VPN won’t do the work as it is reported that the game checks both your device location and your IP location. So if you have a VPN, check that IP location and set your device location to the same place. To do this, Go to Windows Settings, then Privacy & Security Settings > Location > Set the default location, and set it to match your chosen VPN server’s country/region.
Change Your Network Environment
As suggested by Cygames, try switching your internet connection. If you’re on Wi-Fi, try connecting via mobile data (hotspot), and vice versa. If possible, try connecting from a completely different physical location or internet service provider.
Restart Your Router/Modem
In some cases, simply rebooting your router/modem can fix the error. The error could be related to your current ISP or DNS settings. So, restarting will refresh your internet connection, likely fixing this issue.
By trying these workarounds, you will surely get in the game. Stay updated through official channels, and don’t hesitate to reach out to support if the problem persists.
