Common problemWar ThunderPC, PlayStation and Xbox
War Thunder won't connect or keeps disconnecting
Connection drops, lag or no server
The game can't reach its servers, or you get dropped from battles. Gaijin's checklist points to programs that eat bandwidth, firewalls, blocked ports, routers and DNS problems.
How to fix it
Close programs that use a lot of bandwidth, such as torrent clients, while you play.
Turn off your firewall for a test, or do a Windows clean boot.
Make sure the ports War Thunder needs are open.
Plug the internet cable straight into your PC, without the router, to test.
Flush your DNS cache.
On PlayStation or Xbox, restart the console and router and try a wired connection.
