Gang Beasts: what to do if you are disconnected from the server

Gang Beasts: what to do if you are disconnected from the server

The recent surge of Gang Beasts players has breathed new life into the multiplayer brawler, but those new and old to the game are encountering the same problem: frequently disconnecting from the server.

As a re-launched game, the official servers of Gang Beasts have been under heavy server load and many players can't connect or you keep disconnecting from the server in the middle of the game. It's annoying, it's boring and it's probably unavoidable.



More often than not when you receive this error, and especially now, the problem is server-side rather than yours. That means the problem probably isn't your internet, it's the game's servers themselves.

Where to watch if Gang Beasts keeps going offline

Developer Boneloaf has been fixing server issues over the past day in response to the influx of new players, but some may still be experiencing frequent disconnects as they continue to fix the issue.

If you are experiencing frequent disconnections on a player-run server, the problem may be either on your end or on the host's side of the server. Try playing on the official servers and see if it's you or the host. If you can play properly on official servers, then the problem is the host.

If you cannot connect and play on a server hosted by a gamer or an official server, then the problem is on your end and could be a matter of download speed, or even load on your CPU if the server you are got disconnected swims in spawned objects.


Before you panic, check two things to see how the servers are doing.

Take a look at the official Gang Beasts Twitter to see if the folks at Boneloaf have publicly fixed any server issues over the past day. Also take a look at any reports players may have made on Downdetector, which displays user reports from the community for the past 24 hours. Chances are it's just the powered servers and not the fault of your hardware or the internet.
