Common problemGenshin Impact

Genshin Impact can't connect to server

Usually a VPN, proxy or router problem

The game cannot reach HoYoverse's servers and shows a connection error. HoYoverse points to VPNs, proxies and the home network as the usual cause.

Is Genshin Impact down right now? Operational: 3 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Turn off any VPN or proxy.

  2. Switch between Wi-Fi, mobile data and a wired connection to see if one works.

  3. Restart your router.

  4. If it keeps failing, send customer service your UID and a screenshot of the error.
