How to Fix Throne and Liberty Can’t Enter into Game Issue
Some players also report that they receive a “Disconnected from server. Gateserver timeout” error. Thankfully, there are several steps you can take to resolve this error.
1. Check the Current Server Status
When you are unable to access the game, the very first thing you should do is to check the current server status of the game. In case the server is down due to any reasons, then simply wait until its services are back online and the issue will be resolved automatically. If you have no idea how to check server status, here we show you different ways.
- Visit the official website of Throne and Liberty.
- Check their official X (Twitter) where you can check the announcements for the latest information about the server status from the developers.
- Additionally, you can check the popular Reddit and Discord channel
2. Restart Steam and Your Device
Some players suggest restarting Steam as well as your device can help to resolve this issue. First of all, close Steam completely and make sure all other processes are also closed in the background. Then restart your device once which will refresh the system, then reopen Steam and relaunch the game.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
Then, make sure your internet connection is fast and stable. If it is not working or unstable, you might not be able to access the game. You can try switching the connection to a wired connection for a consistent and reliable connection. Also, try resetting your router or modem to refresh the connection, and if possible, limit the number of devices connected to the same network.
4. Press Alt + Tab Keys
Some players have managed to resolve this issue simply by pressing Alt + Tab keys on your keyboard. After selecting your character and clicking “Enter” to join the game, immediately start pressing the “Alt + Tab” shortcut. Sometimes game stuck during the loading time because of several issues like server congestion or system lagging. This simple method will help to bypass any temporary freezing or loading issues.
5. Set Your System Time to UTC
The next workaround we suggest is to adjust your system’s time settings to UTC and then restart your PC. If there is a mismatch between your local and the server’s time zone, it can cause several connection-related issues and prevent you from joining the game’s server.
6. Re-Enabling Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
Sometimes, network connection problems are triggered by misconfigurations or conflicts in how IPv6 interacts with your network or ISP. So, try disabling and re-enabling it and check if this trick worked. Follow these steps:
- Go to the Control Panel on your PC
- Then, go to Network and Internet >> Network and Sharing Center >> Click on your active Internet connection
- In the connection properties, you will find IPv6. Now, disable it.
- After unchecking, you re-enable it by rechecking the box and clicking OK. That’s it.
This workaround will help to refresh your network configuration and resolve the issue.
7. Adjust Your Firewall or Antivirus Program
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus program can prevent the game from connecting. So, try adjusting the settings on your security program by temporarily disabling it while playing the game or adding the game to the exceptions list. It will help connect the game to the server without interference.
8. Play During Off-Peak Hours
The game is new, and so a massive number of players are attempting to get on the server at the same time, which causes server congestion. If none of the above methods work to resolve the issue, it is advisable to play the game during off-peak hours, like early in the morning or late at night when fewer players are active, and you will be able to access the game.
