Unable to communicate with the server? Anyone else getting this or just me?

Sometimes when I restart the game it will work for a moment but then I get kicked from the servers again and can never reconnect.

Servers ARE busted, however what has worked for me is to shut down the game, set Steam to offline mode, then right back to online mode and restart the game.

Doing this has made it so that I'm able to get online, do my business and then head back to my game modes...

Though, the connection drops again after awhile, so if that method works for you, do all your downloading at once and then game.

tried the going offline and back online and still wouldn't connect

I'm able to get online for about 2 minutes. And then i get the boot. Basically, it's like you are saying. But I don't get close to 10 minutes. If I'm quick, I can look up custom created wrestlers and maybe download 1 or 2. Then I have to restart. The fact that some of us are getting that initial few minutes should be a good indication of what the problem is. Unfortunately, I'm not versed enough in network troubleshooting to know exactly what that issue is. I have noticed that WWE 2k22 had a lot of people having that issue and it didn't seem to ever be addressed properly. Which is my concern here. Above posters have pointed out that we will be ignored. And it seems NBA 2k23 has had some issues similar to this as well.

Well, I have been playing this game since minute 1 early access and have tried many many solutions and nothing worked. Contacted support as well and they have done nothing. There socials have not mentioned anything about this either. Based on the positive reviews overall it seems it is only a problem for a small number. At least Not enough for 2K to care.

it is not a small number. i know 5 people who bought the game and all of us have the problem

Server dont let me upload my Caws...

Something I realized just now is that if I'm allowed to download CAWs for a short period of time, I can upload my CAWs as long as I don't include a description, only using tags if I manage to upload them. I hope this can provide some clue to fix the problem or look another glitch to help us.

So I don't know about anyone else, but it's possible your connection has something to do with it. I've been using my phone to get internet through a wired connection and thought nothing of it before playing this game as I never had issues with connecting to game servers and also because the speeds are more than fast enough for what I'm getting without an actual ISP, but after deciding to stop using my phone wired and turn on my hotspot, somehow the game connects whenever I start it up. But if I go back to a wired connection it doesn't bother to try connecting like it did before. Perhaps we are the real poors of this community?

I bought the game this afternoon and got this error as well.. 😞

I wonder what part of the world you guys are in. I have had nothing but perfect loading times, zero crashes all load perfectly well. probably you guys have bad internet connection or don't update anything in your PC to get such a bad experience.

60 hours straight no issues.

I'm from Belgium for myself and I have the problem. Server keeps disconnecting. I have to rush to myfaction mode (per example) to be able to play a match, then at the end server becomes unavailable and I have to restart the game..

in USA having same problem, every other game is fine, even can play NBA 2K on PC fine. No clue why this one game has issues.,

You're very ignorant. You clearly don't see the thousands of people all over the world talking about this issue. It's not an internet or hardware issue. I have it on PS5 and am having these issues. I have business class internet. It's 2k's fault. Do some research before you make such baseless claims.

Its an internet issue...more specifically a DNS issue. If this was a 2k issue EVERYONE would experience the issue but like the guy you quoted above ive never had a connection issue and can connect anytime i log in...however my friend in Minnesota cannot at all...

Read the thread, this isn't just a dns issue. The game will connect and then disconnect you when you do specific things like upload characters or finish a match. If it were just a dns issue you wouldn't be able to connect at all and you could just use a VPN to redirect everything to a different DNS server.

nope my internet is perfectly fine. Every other game is perfectly fine. I can download and live stream without any issues. Internet connection for me at least is definitely not an issue.

Well I was at 119 minutes played (if you want to call it that) and had to officially request a refund from Steam as the issue still persists. I don't want to be stuck with a broken game as I bought it to enjoy MyFaction. Here is what I wrote 2K support who basically told me to contact my ISP to solve the issue.

I wanted to update you that I was able to fix the issue by simply requesting a refund for the purchase on Steam. It is unfortunate as I really wanted to enjoy this game. Listed below is another thread showing that a growing number of players are having the same issue. I hope the answer from 2K Support isn't contact your ISP to everyone when the issue is clearly with your servers. Thanks for your time and have a great day. Please don't take what I say personally as I know you are just a middle man in this whole process, but a big multi-million dollar company like 2K needs to get it together if they want the continued support of their player base (which pays their salaries).
