How to fix The First Descendant disconnected from server error

It can be very simple or slightly time-consuming.

During The First Descendant’s beta tests and official launch, there’s a chance you’ll encounter an error beginning with the “disconnected from server” message, followed by various numbers. While this is often a quick fix, it can occasionally leave you stuck for some time, especially if the servers are overloaded.

The First Descendant disconnected from server error explained

Typically, being disconnected from The First Descendant’s servers shortly after its launch or following a major update is a server-side issue caused by a large influx of players. When numerous players are online and teleporting to the same regions, it can cause congestion in the server’s queue, causing an error to appear. With that said, there are a few solutions you can try:

  1. Reconnect and try to teleport again.
  2. Restart The First Descendant
  3. Update The First Descendant if there’s a new patch
  4. Restart your PC or console
  5. Wait for the game’s servers to settle

In many cases, Nexon will update The First Descendant’s known issues pages with errors they’re working to resolve. If you’re frequently encountering the disconnected from server error after these quick fixes, you can watch this page to see if it’s a widespread issue they’re aware of.

In some cases, fixing this error is just a matter of reconnecting to The First Descendant and teleporting again. However, if doing this doesn’t work, restarting the game entirely, updating it if there’s a new patch, or turning your device on and off again may help. Otherwise, you may have to wait for an official word from Nexon regarding the error.
