Knockout city сетевая ошибка

Knockout City Season 2 is out only after 2 months of Season 1 launch! But many players have reported connection issues, with the error message saying “Unable to connect to the EA servers” or “A timeout error occurred.” While this could be frustrating, we’ve got some quick fixes for you.

Try these fixes…

You don’t have to try them all; just work your way down the list until you find the one that does the trick!

1: Check the server status

2: Check your Internet connection

3: Configure your DNS settings

4: Use a VPN

5: Update your network driver

6: Make sure your game is updated

Before we dive into anything advanced, make sure you’ve tried to relaunch the game and restart your PC to see if it works.

Fix 1: Check the server status

If you get the error message of being unable to connect to the server, the first thing you can check real quick is the server status. If the server is down, you won’t be able to connect to it and play the game. Usually when the server is down, the developers become aware of it very soon, so it won’t take long for them to fix it.

Here’s how to check the server status:

1. Run your Origin client, and go to the Knockout City main page.
2. At the top-right side of the page, you should see a Server Status icon. If it’s green, your server is online. But when it shows yellow or red, it means your server could be slow or down at the moment.

If you’ve checked the current server status and it seems fine, try the next fix.

Fix 2: Check your Internet connection

Another reason that you can’t connect to EA servers when you try to launch Knockout City is an unstable Internet connection. Here are a few things you can do:

• If you’re playing Knockout City on Wi-Fi, make sure there’s no overcrowding. That said, if your Wi-Fi is connected to multiple devices, disconnect the ones you don’t use at the moment. Simply turn off Wi-Fi on those devices will do.
  (Also if possible, you can play on a wired connection. It’s usually more reliable and stable.)
• Try to power cycle your router and modem. Unplug the power cables from both devices, wait for at least 30 seconds, then plug the cables back into both devices. When your Internet is working again, check if your game still lags.
• If you have low-speed Internet, it could lead to an unstable Internet connection. You can google “Internet speed test” and pick a tool to test your Internet speed. However, when your Internet connection is unreasonably low, you should contact your Internet provider for help.

If your Internet connection doesn’t seem to be the problem, try the next fix.

Fix 3: Configure your DNS settings

When you use your ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) default DNS server, you might encounter issues like crowded cache, which could cause the server connection issue. There are two things you can do: flushing your DNS cache or switching to a public DNS server to solve the problem. We recommend trying both options:

1: Flush your DNS

2: Switch to a public DNS server

1: Flush your DNS

By flushing your DNS, your DNS cache will be cleared. When your PC needs to access a website, it’ll need to obtain the address from the DNS server again. This may solve your problem if the DNS cache data was invalid or corrupt. Here’s how:

1. Press the Windows logo key and R on your keyboard to invoke the Run box.
2. Type cmd, then press Shift and Enter at the same time. If prompted for permission, click Yes.
   
3. Copy ipconfig /flushdns, and paste it in the pop-up window. Then press Enter.
   
4. Your DNS cache is successfully cleared.
   

2: Switch to a public DNS server

Like we mentioned above, ISP’s default DNS server can be slow or unstable. You can try switching to a public DNS server to solve the problem. We’ll use the Google DNS server as an example. Here’s how:

1. On your taskbar, right-click the network icon, then click Open Network & Internet settings.
   
2. Click Change adapter options.
   
3. Right-click the network you’re using, then click Properties.
   
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click Properties.
   
5. Select Use the following DNS server addresses, fill in the Google DNS server addresses as below, then click OK.

   Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
   Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

   

If changing to a public DNS server doesn’t connect your game to the server, move on to the next fix.

Fix 4: Use a VPN

When Knockout City can’t connect to EA servers, it’s possible that your region is blocked. A quick way to test if your region has been blocked is to use a VPN. Just make sure you don’t use a free VPN, since it’s highly risky and could slow your connection down even more.

If you’re not sure what to use, try NordVPN. As a popular choice on the market, NordVPN provides full security and privacy, with lightning-fast speed and over 5000 servers in 60+ countries to choose from. Here’s how to set up NordVPN and test your server issue:

1. Download the NordVPN client, and install it on your PC.
2. Run NordVPN and log in to your account. If you don’t have an account, click Sign up. You’ll be directed to NordVPN’s webpage for the above actions.
   
3. Once your account is ready, go back to the NordVpn app. Then click Quick connect.
   
4. When the VPN connection is on, launch Knockout City to see if you can connect to the server now.

NordVPN is currently offering coupons and promo codes for a limited period. Grab the deal at our NordVPN Coupons page so you won’t miss the deal!

If using a VPN doesn’t connect your game to the servers, check out the next fix.

Fix 5: Update your network driver

When your network driver is faulty or outdated, you may notice that your connection is not stable. There can be compatibility issues that cause your network connection to become less reliable. By fixing your network driver, you should be less likely to encounter the server connection issue for Knockout City.

There are two ways you can get the right drivers for your network adapter: manually or automatically.

Manual driver update – You can update the network adapter driver via Device Manager. Just note that Windows doesn’t always give you the latest available update, so you may need to search on the manufacture’s website. Be sure to choose only the driver that’s compatible with your Windows version.

Automatic driver update – If you don’t have the time, patience, or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct driver for your exact network adapter, and your Windows version, then it will download and install them correctly:

1) Download and install Driver Easy.

2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

3) Click the Update button next to the flagged network driver to automatically download the correct version of the driver, then you can manually install it (you can do this with the FREE version).

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. (This requires the Pro version which comes with full support and a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.)

The Pro version of Driver Easy comes with full technical support.
If you need assistance, please contact Driver Easy’s support team at support@drivereasy.com.

Restart your PC for the new drivers to take effect. Run a game to see if the problem persists.

Fix 6: Make sure your game is updated

Sometimes the server connection issue could be a bug, and the developers would work on a fix for it. So you need to make sure your game is updated all the time.

By default, the Origin client automatically detects and installs new patches for your games, including Knockout City, so you don’t have to worry about it. However, if you turned off the automatic updating option previously, then you’ll need to manually check for game updates and install them.

Hopefully this article helps and you can connect to EA servers and enjoy a match on Knockout City! Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any question or suggestions.

К сожалению, общедоступные серверы Knockout City были закрыты 6 июня 2023 года. Тем не менее, у вас все еще есть способ продолжить играть в игру официально и насладиться драками.

Обзор Private Hosted Server Edition

В качестве решения разработчики выпустили версию Knockout City для частных серверов. Эта версия игры позволяет вам продолжать играть, как будто игра никогда не отключалась. Несмотря на то, что в связи с отключением от общедоступных серверов были внесены небольшие изменения, она остается очень похожей на оригинальную игру.

Используя Private Hosted Server Edition, вы можете быть уверены, что играете в официальную версию игры, специально разработанную для того, чтобы поддерживать интерес игроков, несмотря на отключение общедоступных серверов.

Вы можете скачать это здесь!

Как загрузить

Если вы столкнулись с трудностями при загрузке и настройке версии Knockout City для частного хостинга, в этом разделе руководства представлен пошаговый процесс, который поможет вам начать работу с этой конкретной версией игры.

После того, как вы зашли на упомянутый ранее веб-сайт, перемещайтесь вниз по странице, пока не найдете обозначенный раздел с надписью «BRAWL + HOST». В этом разделе вам нужно будет сделать выбор между загрузкой игры с высокой или низкой графикой. Выберите вариант, который лучше всего соответствует вашим предпочтениям, а затем нажмите кнопку «Загрузить» после принятия Пользовательского соглашения.

Выбрав нужные настройки графики на вышеупомянутом веб-сайте, нажмите кнопку загрузки. После завершения загрузки следующим шагом будет извлечение содержимого загруженного zip-файла. Для этого просто щелкните правой кнопкой мыши zip-файл и выберите параметр «Извлечь все».

Выполнив предыдущий шаг, откройте загруженную папку KnockoutCity. В папке найдите значок игры и щелкните по нему, чтобы запустить игру. Важно отметить, что для успешной игры требуется подключение к серверу.

Как разместить

При запуске игры вы можете столкнуться с сообщением об ошибке, указывающим на невозможность подключения к серверам. Это происходит потому, что вам нужно создать или присоединиться к серверу, чтобы играть. В этом разделе руководства я объясню, как создать сервер, позволяющий вам играть либо с ботами, либо с людьми, которых вы пригласили.

Для начала перейдите к ранее извлеченным файлам, как описано в предыдущих шагах. Найдите файл с именем «KnockoutCityServer» и откройте его. В этом файле вы найдете приложение с логотипом игры KO. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши это приложение и выберите параметр для создания ярлыка.

Создав ярлык, щелкните его правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Свойства» в контекстном меню. В окне свойств вы найдете несколько вкладок вверху. Нажмите на вкладку с надписью «Ярлык».

После доступа к вкладке «Ярлык» найдите текстовое поле с надписью «Цель». Добавьте пробел в конце существующего текста в текстовом поле. Затем скопируйте и вставьте соответствующую информацию, представленную под изображением, в зависимости от порта TDP и диапазона портов UDP вашего маршрутизатора.

Если вы не уверены в значении этих терминов или в конкретных значениях, которые следует использовать, вы можете попробовать разные комбинации, пока не найдете ту, которая подходит именно вам.

Вставьте один из предложенных вариантов в текстовое поле, аналогичное изображению, которым я поделился, используя сочетание клавиш CTRL+V.

-backend_port=[23600] -server_min_port=[23600] -server_max_port=[23699]

Если вы хотите защитить свой сервер паролем, просто вставьте пробел после ранее введенного текста, а затем скопируйте и вставьте следующее в конце: -secret=InsertPasswordHere.

Введите «-secret=InsertPasswordHere» в текстовое поле «Цель».

Выполнив все необходимые действия, запустите ярлык, как любое другое приложение. Это запустит черный экран с различным текстом. Крайне важно держать это окно открытым, если вы хотите играть, так как его закрытие приведет к отключению всех, включая вас, от сервера.

Запустите серверное приложение и убедитесь, что оно остается открытым на протяжении всего игрового сеанса.

Как присоединиться

Если вы создали сервер, игра автоматически подключится к нему при запуске игры. Однако, если вы хотите пригласить других на свой сервер или присоединиться к серверу, который вам не принадлежит, этот раздел руководства поможет вам в этом процессе.

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ. Разглашение вашего IP-адреса необходимо для того, чтобы другие могли присоединиться к вашему серверу, но соблюдайте осторожность, сообщая его лицам, которым вы не доверяете.

Чтобы присоединиться к серверу, найдите папку «KnockoutCity», которую вы распаковали в начале руководства. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши приложение с логотипом игры и создайте для него ярлык.

После создания ярлыка щелкните его правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Свойства». В окне «Свойства» вы найдете несколько вкладок вверху. Нажмите на вкладку с надписью «Ярлык».

Нажмите «Свойства» и перейдите на вкладку «Ярлык».

После завершения предыдущего шага найдите текстовое поле с надписью «Цель». Добавьте пробел в конце существующего текста и введите следующую информацию: -backend=IpAddressHere.

Введите «-backend=IpAddressHere» в текстовое поле «Цель», и теперь вы готовы играть в игру.

Заметки

• Если вам нужно уникальное имя пользователя, вы можете изменить текстовое поле «Цель» на ярлыке Knockout City (не на сервере), добавив пробел и набрав: «-username=InsertNameHere».
• Эта версия Knockout City работает как частный сервер, что означает, что вы не можете играть со случайными людьми, как на общедоступных серверах. Вместо этого вы можете участвовать в матчах с другими игроками через локальную сеть или если они присоединятся к вашему частному серверу.
• В этой версии все косметические средства разблокированы, и у вас есть 100,000 XNUMX холобуксов, которые можно потратить на напитки. Хотя вы по-прежнему можете повышать уровень и выполнять контракты, основная цель — развлечение.
• Обратите внимание, что эта версия не связана с такими платформами, как Steam. Следовательно, вы не можете перенести свой прогресс или выполнить какие-либо пропущенные достижения, которые у вас могут быть.
• Доступны все игровые режимы, включая ограниченные по времени события. В случаях, когда недостаточно игроков для начала матча, вы можете играть с ботами.
• Эта версия доступна исключительно для пользователей ПК с Windows.
• Функциональность голосового чата недоступна в этой версии игры.

Knockout City might seem like just another entrant into a sea of competitive multiplayer games, but it has a few things going for it. Made by EA and Velan Studios, Knockout City tries to put a spin on the esports arena shooter genre by turning it into a dodgeball game. Rather than firing guns, players pick up dodgeballs from the ground and throw them at unsuspecting enemies. The 3v3 matches are a well-balanced combination of tactics and frantic randomness.

Velan isn’t the first studio to bring a new type of esports-oriented multiplayer experience to the table. We’ve already seen how successful Rocket League got with a seemingly simple idea. The formula doesn’t always work either as Ubisoft’s Roller Champions has not really caught on. Nevertheless, the game has launched fully and you can play it for free. The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play.

What’s different about this free-to-play launch though is that it is only available until May 30th. After that, if you wish to keep playing Knockout City, you’d have to buy it. This trial period has allowed a massive influx of players to try the game out. In fact, only in the short couple of days that the free-to-play trial has been out, Knockout City has managed to hit over 2 million players. The momentum shows no signs of slowing down any time soon either as the game has received stellar reviews from critics and players alike.

Knockout City is having server connection issues at launch

Despite all the praise that it is getting from the media and players, Knockout City has had its fair share of issues since its launch. Players have reported not being able to get into games, getting kicked out during matches, and sometimes not even being able to connect to EA servers at all. All of these server connection issues shouldn’t come as a surprise though.

We’ve seen over the past few years that every time a big multiplayer game launches, it seldom goes smoothly. The servers get overloaded and then you’re encountered with these connection errors. However, the servers might not always be at fault and we’ve found that many times, the problem is actually at the players’ end.

We’re sure that EA and Velan are hard at work to release fixes for issues at their end. In the meantime, there are a few things that you can try just to make sure that everything at your end is running fine. So, here are some fixes for server connection errors while playing Knockout City.

1. Make sure you’re hardwired to your router:

One of the most important things that most people often ignore is the stability of your connection to your router. Most people on a console and some on a PC use a Wi-Fi connection to browse the internet. And, while that’s usually fine for streaming or browsing, it’s not ideal for gaming.

For a competitive multiplayer game like Knockout City, you need a connection that’s rock solid. A wired ethernet connection directly to your router is many times better than a wireless one. Furthermore, if you’re using an ordinary 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router, that difference in quality can increase even further.

Connecting your console or PC to the router via ethernet can not only decrease packet loss but also massively improves your latency to the game servers. So, this will not only help with avoiding disconnection but can also give you a competitive edge over the opposition. We cannot recommend getting hooked up via ethernet enough. In fact, it could even prove to be the remedy to your problems.

2. Turn on QoS to prioritize Knockout City:

If you have a lot of devices connected to a single router at home, connections to all these devices can get bogged down. This is due to the fact that a router won’t differentiate between someone who’s streaming content and someone who is playing a game.

The different requirements here are that streaming video content does not require quick packet transfer since it can preload and buffer. Multiplayer games, on the other hand, rely a lot on the quick transfer of data to reduce latency. With so many devices connected at the same time though, this can get compromised. Thankfully, most modern routers have a feature built into them called QoS or Quality of Service.

Essentially, what Quality of Service does is prioritize bandwidth and packet transfer speed between devices. So, if you’re not connected via ethernet, you can still have a say in which device gets the highest priority for your internet bandwidth. Turning on QoS and prioritizing your console or PC can have a massive impact on the connection quality in games.

In order to turn on QoS for Knockout City, all you have to do is open up your router settings. Once you’re in, browse through the options and look for QoS and turn it on. After it has been enabled, you can add your console or PC to the QoS priority list.

3. Change NAT type and open up your ports:

NAT is essentially the security firewall that your ISP puts for traffic coming in and going out of your router. There are 3 types of NAT: strict, moderate, and open. The stricter the NAT, the harder it would be for a multiplayer game to have p2p connections for smooth gameplay. So, if you have a strict NAT type, your online gaming capabilities will be very limited.

There are some ways for you to open up your NAT type and allow more traffic to go through. Firstly, you should head into your router settings and select port forwarding/DMZ settings. These settings will allow you to add specific IP addresses for your relevant console and open traffic for it. In the DMZ settings, you can enter the local IP address of your console to allow it.

You can find this IP address either within the router’s connected devices page or via the connection status page on your console.

However, for port forwarding, you’ll need the relevant ports for Xbox Live and PSN. Here are the ports that you need to forward for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles:

Xbox ports:

• Port 88 (UDP)
• Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
• Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
• Port 80 (TCP)
• Port 500 (UDP)
• Port 3544 (UDP)
• Port 4500 (UDP)

PlayStation ports:

• 80 (TCP)
• 443 (TCP)
• 3478 (TCP)
• 3479 (TCP)
• 3480 (TCP)
• 3478 (UDP)
• 3479 (UDP)

In case your NAT type doesn’t change to moderate or strict even after applying these settings, you’ll have to contact your ISP and submit a request to change the NAT type.

4. Repair game files for Knockout City:

Most new games get patches and updates more frequently to iron out any initial bugs. However, sometimes these updates can be interrupted due to various reasons and not download properly. This can lead to corrupted or out-of-date game files. And, as a consequence, your access to the multiplayer servers can get restricted.

So, checking the integrity of the game files and verifying them can help with server connection issues as well. Thankfully, you don’t have to manually sift through these files as most game launchers on PC allow you to automatically scan and fix any corrupted files. If you have purchased Knockout City on Steam, here’s how you can verify your game files:

1. In your Steam games library, right-click Knockout City and open up the game properties.
2. Within the game properties, head over to the Local Files tab and select Verify.
3. Steam will start verifying game files for Knockout City and if any discrepancies are found, they’ll be fixed automatically.

In case you’ve bought the game via Origin, the process is more or less similar. Just head into the options and select the repair/verify game files option.

5. Get rid of background processes to prioritize Knockout City:

On PC, if you have a lot of applications running in the background, it can compromise your connection speed. Usually, most background apps are fine even for multiplayer gaming. However, in older Windows installs, these apps can pile up over time and take up a significant portion of your free bandwidth. This can end up hurting the connection speed in games like Knockout City that need a stable and fast internet connection.

1. The usual culprits for this are apps that download stuff in the background, including updates and other files. So, you’re looking at apps like Chrome, Zoom, Skype, and most importantly, Windows Update. So, if your Windows is being updated in the background, you can head into the settings and pause the download.
2. For other apps, you can open up the task manager and see what percentage of bandwidth each app is using. From there, you can sort them from high to low and close the apps that are eating up the highest amount of bandwidth. Another thing that you can do to limit this from happening again is turning off startup apps. To do that, just head to the startup tab of the task manager and disable the apps that you think are not important to you.

Prioritize Knockout City:

1. You can also head into the Details tab of the Task Manager and prioritize Knockout City over other applications. Just find the game’s process within the list, right-click on it, and select a high or real-time priority. This will allow your system to allocate more resources to the game.

Knockout City is out now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The game also supports crossplay so you can play with your friends no matter where they are. The game is also a part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscriptions. You can check it out right here.
