The game client requires administrative privileges to write files and access network ports. If these are denied, the connection may drop immediately.

If you have tried all of the above without success, consider these final steps:

: Torrent clients or large background downloads.

: I am consistently receiving the "Channel Server Connection Failed" error upon attempting to log into a channel. I have already attempted to disable my antivirus, run the game as an administrator, and flush my DNS cache, but the issue persists. Are there currently any known server outages or specific background processes known to conflict with the current build?
