Epic Games Can’t Connect Online? NBA 2K21 May Be the Culp
Contents
Epic Games can’t seem to stay online for more than a few minutes these days, and NBA 2K21 may be the reason why.
Introduction
If you’re experiencing disconnections or other problems when trying to connect to Epic Games servers, it’s quite possible that there is an issue with the NBA 2K21 game itself. In this case, you will not be able to connect to any of the Epic Games online services.
The Problem
If you’re trying to play “Fortnite” or “Rocket League” online and having trouble connecting, you’re not alone. On Wednesday, several players reported that they were unable to connect to Epic Games’ servers. The outage appears to be affecting players across the globe, with reports coming in from the United States Europe, Australia and more.
The good news is that you’re not alone and there’s a fix on the way. The bad news is that the fix might not come until Thursday morning.
In a statement posted to its website, Epic Games said it was “aware of connection issues impacting players” and that it was “working on a resolution.” The company did not elaborate on what was causing the problems or when it expects them to be fixed.
We’ll update this story as we learn more.
The Solution
If you’re having trouble connecting to online games on your Xbox One, it could be due to a problem with your network connection. But if you’re also having trouble playing NBA 2K21 offline, the issue might be with the game itself.
There’s been a spate of reports on social media and Xbox support forums of people being unable to play NBA 2K21 offline due to an “EFEAB30C” error code The good news is that there’s a fix for this particular problem, and it’s relatively simple.
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Go to the Xbox One Home Screen and select My Games & Apps.
2. Navigate to the apps tab and select NBA 2K21.
3. Press the menu button (the one with three lines) and select Manage Game.
4. Select saved data and delete both your player profile and franchise profile data.
5. Restart NBA 2K21 and try playing offline again.
This should resolve the issue and allow you to play NBA 2K21 offline without any problems. If you’re still having trouble, though, you may need to wait for a patch from developer Visual Concepts or publisher 2K Games.
Why NBA 2K21?
It’s been a tough few days for Epic Games On Wednesday, the company had to take its popular battle royale game Fortnite offline for several hours due to server issues. And on Thursday, it was the turn of NBA 2K21 to suffer from similar problems.
How to Connect Online
If you’re having trouble connecting to online games, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the problem. First, check your internet connection to make sure it’s working properly. If it is, then the next step is to check whether or not the servers for the game you’re trying to play are online. If they’re not, there’s nothing you can do but wait until they come back online.
If the servers are online but you’re still having trouble connecting, it’s possible that there’s an issue with your account. For example, if you’ve been banned from a particular server or if your account has been flagged for some reason. In this case, you’ll need to contact customer support for the game in question in order to resolve the issue.
Finally, if none of these solutions work, it’s possible that there’s a problem with your computer or console that is preventing you from connecting. In this case, you may need to restart your system or clear your cache in order to fix the problem.
The Results
As you may have noticed, quite a few users are having issues connecting to online modes in various games. For the most part, this seems to be affecting titles published by or utilizing services provided by Epic Games. While the company has yet to address the situation publicly, there are a few things we can glean from social media and comments left on various support forums.
Conclusion
We’ve all been there. You’re trying to play your favorite game online, but for some reason you just can’t connect. Maybe the servers are down, or maybe there’s some other problem. But whatever the reason, it’s frustrating.
And if you’re trying to play Epic Games’ new release, NBA 2K21, you may be experiencing that frustration. The game has been having some major server issues since it launched on September 4th.
We don’t have any concrete information on what the problem is, but it seems like the issue is with Epic Games’ servers. That means that it’s likely not something that can be fixed on your end.
If you’re trying to play NBA 2K21 and you can’t connect, you may just have to wait it out. Epic Games will hopefully get the servers up and running soon. In the meantime, you can always try playing offline or find something else to do.
