Are the servers down?

[Chip Patton]

I just bought the game last night, started it up, and was able to play for about an hour.

I got the maintenance warning, and quit the game. I started working on a mod for another game. My wife then bought the game, so I quit that game and started Fallout 76 and the game quickly reminded me that I had left a certain program (that does NOT support Fallout 76) running (wemod) by simply crashing fallout 76 to desktop and saying it was a prohibited program.

When the servers finally died, I get nothing but a "NoRegionPing".

Is this a ban or are the servers down? Strange that they would ban me for a program that utterly won't interface with multi-player games :/

bug I assume found this solution for it on other site, dont shoot me if it doesnt work

Suggesting a way to fix the No Region Ping fix is to copy the Fallout76.ini file each time to \Documents\My Games\Fallout 76

but no idea if that is even possible to do anymore

I can't log in. It keeps coming up with an error saying the trial event has finished and to purchase the game to continue. I already bought it on a different account so i play it on family share on a different account. Never had this issue up until now? It's an incredibly buggy game still. I keep getting stuck and unable to move at all indoors. Very frustrating.

I'll give it a shot. I figured the game was still down until about noon (EST) and was like "This isn't right" and came here to ask.

I'll try a verify and some more perma-fixes first and will give it a shot.

I'm also seeing that I might have to run the game as administrator or move it to the same drive as Windows (which isn't happening).

I do not believe 76 does supports family share.

When you got the message that the server was going down, it was just that server, go back to the main menu and you can go into a different server with no problem.

There was a free trial going on, that’s why it may have looked that family share was working. But once the free trial ended, it was just for “paid” consumers.

Just for anyone else that may be looking for the solution, it didn't work.

Neither has any other solution that I've found on Google and Reddit.

Next step is to uninstall and reinstall.

And after that, refund.

Does this ping happen to run over ssh ports (22 tcp) BTW? My router is set to examine new SSH states as login failures and bans the IP's- Please tell me this isn't related.

I noticed this:

Edit: Fixed it - had to refresh the IPv6 routing tables from last night through my VPN. Ugh. My bad.

Found this out by trying to do a nslookup on those host names to find out that I couldn't even ping Google's IPv6 DNS.

Wireguard is tricky sometimes.

[Chip Patton]

I think this may be related to other issues I'm seeing from license errors and such.

Essentially, in my case, I VPN through various wifi's and my mobile hotspot to my company's network (which I own that company, so pipe down) with wireguard. I didn't initially have ipv6 enabled through wireguard so the moment I turned on the VPN I was unable to ping the dns hostnames listed above because my laptop saw that ipv6 was enabled but there was no working route.

People may need to disable ipv6 entirely if their ISP doesn't allow it.

BTW for my case, I can verify that this did indeed work. Once I enabled and refreshed the routing tables for WireGuard on my company's router (Mikrotik), I was able to ping the above URL's on my laptop and I'm now looking at a "Play" button.
