Common problemARC RaidersWindows PC
ARC Raiders can't connect to servers
Online services fail to connect on PC
The game says it can't reach its online services, or it keeps dropping the connection. Embark links this to unstable networks, VPNs, DNS trouble and a wrong device clock.
How to fix it
Turn on Set Time Automatically in Windows, press Sync Now, then restart the PC.
Use a wired connection and turn off any VPN or proxy.
Set the matchmaking region to Automatic under Gameplay and then Server.
Run ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt, then restart.
Switch your PC to a public DNS server.
