If you, like many, have been playing Elden Ring Nightreign, you may have noticed some connection issues. Particularly, you might have noticed these issues while playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. PC players seem to have been spared from these issues for the time being, though that can change with any update, so we will keep everyone aware if things change. For now, if you are playing on PlayStation, here is how to deal with any of the connection issues you might be having.
Is Elden Ring Nightreign down?
No. Elden Ring Nightreign is not currently down. Instead, many have been experiencing connection issues on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, where they have not been able to connect to other players for extended periods of time. The hardest part of the game is currently not the Night Lords but finding someone to play with.
How to fix Elden Ring Nightreign connection issues
If you are experiencing connection issues in Elden Ring Nightreign, there are a few things you can try. First, it is essential to note that From Software and Bandai Namco are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it. The developer has been keeping everyone up to date on what they can do to help fix the connection issue. Check the Elden Ring X page for more information regarding the network issues.
Check your NAT type
The developer has already stated that those with NAT time 3 seem to be the most affected by the connection issues in Elden Ring Nightreign. Accessing your router’s settings and enabling UPnP can change your NAT type. Port forwarding is also a way that you can change your NAT type.
Choose a hard-wired connection
Using a hard-wired connection, if possible, is always the best way to connect to the internet. This will limit the number of problems you might experience from using WiFi and allow you to connect to others more easily.
