Please put here all information you might have to help a lot of other players, including myself to deal with this connection problem. I can connect to other servers but not to the server (EU Official server258) I have been playing on for more then 250 hourrs. I re-installed te game, checked the files..nothing helped :-(((

I have this same issue on Ark OfficialServer49. Same error message except I receive SteamNetDriver_9

Others are having this problem also, I joined a different server because I couldn't get into my regular one, and found a group of people in the same situation, and we are forming a new tribe there.

here is another thread which I believe is the same issue (at least for me):
http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/517141624283049149/

btw, from what I can tell the SteamNetDriver_ starts at 0 and increases each time you try to connect, so SteamNetDriver_0 on the first fail, SteamNetDriver_9 on the 10th fail, and I've personally had it up to SteamNetDriver_12. I just want in my game so bad! My dinos are likely starving to death!

My tribe mate worked with me on troubleshooting this issue. Here are the actions we took:
* We reset my router, my modem and the pc.
* Verified my game files and reset the router, modem and pc.
* Accessed the router and had my pc designated the DMZ host (should take away any port issues)
* Used a proxy server to rule out any IP issues;
* We also logged into my account from another computer and tried to access the server that I have the issue on with no success.

None of the above allowed me to log into OfficialServer49 with success and access my character.

This really seems to be a server-side issue. We're hoping that the next server reboot fixes the issue.

I did try to log into the dedicated server from my pc, but from a different account.(from a friend).
That was succesfull, I was able to conect with different account. Then switched to my account again..and guess what...no luck...couldnt get on that server with my account. So for 1 thing I am sure..it is not a pc or ip adress issue.

Now waiting for patch 207 to be released somewhat later today. I will cross fingers that a server restart will solve the issue. Will update later.

It does get frustrated though...

I have the same problem on 255 :( I tried from different PC's on different networks. My tribemaite can login. So my account is unable to join the server, like a ban or so. Everyone likes me, I never fight. So a ban would be highly unlikely. I have 471 hours in the server, I would be realy disappointed if I won't be able to continue :'(

I am able to login to my main character again, after the 207 update / server restart.

Sorry to necro this thread, but hopefully I can add some helpful information to anyone finding this in the future.

I experienced this same UNetConnection Tick Connection TIMED OUT error when trying to set up a dedicated server for the game Satisfactory. Here's the solution I found:

Short answer: If the server you are connecting to is on your LAN, you cannot use a public IP to connect, you must use your local IP.

Long answer: I set up the server on dedicated server hardware, forwarded necessary ports to that IP, and set up a free DNS to point to my public IP (so I don't have to give every player my real IP address). Before telling my friends to try connecting to my server, I wanted to test it myself. I booted up the game on my desktop PC, typed in the DNS and port, and tried to connect. That gave me the error message. I pulled my hair out for hours trying to figure out why "my server was broken". In actuality, it was not broken, I just could not use my public IP (or my DNS) to connect to my own server. I tried using my local IP (192.168.1.128), and it connected with no problems. I instructed my friends to connect using my public IP or DNS and they could connect just fine.

This may not be the same cause/solution of the error message that you are experiencing, but this was the solution for me. Hope that helps.

For anyone running into this issue when running a dedicated server, this worked for me.

Locate your Game.ini file on the server under FactoryGame/Saved/Config/(WindowsServer/linux)/game.ini and add the following lines:
[/script/onlinesubsystemutils.ipnetdriver]
InitialConnectTimeout=60.0
ConnectionTimeout=60.0

Then restart the server

Connecting via Cable to the Router and not via WIFI worked for me.

This helped for me.
I ran the server on Ubuntu 22.04 and it is now running without any errors.
