Redfall multiplayer not working – how to fix?

For those wondering if there is any way to fix multiplayer not working in Redfall, don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place.

Redfall is a recently released co-op from Arkane Studios. The game is fully playable with up to four players, and Bethseda recommend teaming up to make the most out of characters abilities. However, they also made sure that the game was fully playable if gamers wanted to go solo. So, with all that support for multiplayer built in, it’s no wonder gamers are trying to find fixes for the multiplayer not working issue.

Let’s get into it.

Can you fix Redfall multiplayer

At the time of writing, no official reason has been given by Arkane as to why some players may be experiencing issues with multiplayer. As such, there are many issues that could be causing the problem to take into account when looking for a potential solution. We’ve scoured the internet so you don’t have to, to find some possible solutions that might address the problem.

1. Unlock the base on Host Game
2. Ensure wi-fi connection
3. Check server
4. Check region settings
5. Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements to play

Unlock the base on “host game”

One “hack” that some gamers on reddit report worked for them, is to select Host Game from the title page, then play a few rounds solo. Before joining together in a co-op effort, each player apparently should ensure that they have at least unlocked the base on their own first.

Ensure wi-fi connection

The second “hack” we suggest is to ensure your wi-fi connection is stable. Move closer to the router if you can, also make sure there are as few electronic devices as possible by the router as this can disrupt the signal.

Check server

Another recommendation is to check the server status. If there are any issues with the server it is likely these will be reported on the game’s dedicated twitter page. If the server is down, then the good news is that the multiplayer issue is not a problem on your end. You will likely only have to wait a short period of time for the server to become less overcrowded, or for the issue to be fixed.

Check region settings

You may be encountering problems with your multiplayer if there is an issue with your region settings. If your region is set far away from your actual location this can cause latency issues and may be interfering with your gameplay. We would recommend ensuring your region settings are set to your own location.

You can change this on PC by following these steps:

1. Navigate to the Windows Search bar.
2. Type Region.
3. Scroll down to Region settings.
4. Navigate to the Country or region drop-down menu.
5. Select your own or your closest region.
6. Close Redfall and restart it.

You can change your region on Xbox by following these steps:

1. Open up Xbox and hit the Xbox button in the centre of your gamepad.
2. Navigate to Profile & system.
3. Hit Settings > System > Language & location.
4. In the drop-down menu under Location ensure that your region or closest region is selected.
5. Hit Restart now.
6. Re-open up Redfall.

Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements to play
