If you’re diving into Escape from Tarkov right now, you might be facing Error 213, which can be pretty frustrating, especially on the release night of update 1.0.
Many seasoned players have likely run into this pesky issue during previous sessions. Error 213 is primarily a server-side problem that tends to appear when a server wipe occurs.
What Does Error 213 Mean in Escape from Tarkov?
Error 213 indicates that the “auth server” couldn’t verify your identity. This usually happens when a large number of players attempt to log in simultaneously after a server wipe, which coincides with the recent update.
How to Fix Error 213 in Escape from Tarkov?
When you encounter Error 213, one simple solution is to keep attempting to connect. Although the server might be crowded, persistence may grant you access eventually. While it’s not foolproof, many players have had luck getting through after several attempts.
If you’re using the BSG launcher, ensure it’s updated to the latest version. A reinstallation might help resolve issues related to this error.
Unfortunately, if you’re accessing the game through Steam, there aren’t many alternative solutions currently available. Sometimes, it’s best just to wait until the initial rush subsides. That way, you’ll likely have a smoother login experience.
How Long Will Error 213 Last After the Update?
The duration of Error 213 is generally tied to the volume of login attempts right after a major update. As the excitement wanes and fewer players rush to log in, this error should naturally ease up. Give it some time, and you should have better luck.
In the meantime, don’t hesitate to explore other content while waiting for the servers to stabilize!
What should I do if Error 213 keeps occurring?
If Error 213 persists, the best course of action is to keep retrying intermittently or wait until traffic decreases, especially during high-demand periods, like right after an update.
Is there a way to speed up logging in during peak times?
Unfortunately, there’s no guaranteed method to speed up the login process during peak times, but retrying every few minutes can help, as servers may eventually open up slots as players log off.
Can I avoid Error 213 entirely?
While it’s hard to completely avoid Error 213, timing your logins away from updates or server wipes can significantly reduce your chances of encountering it.
What is the best way to ensure my game is updated?
Always check for updates through the BSG launcher or Steam to ensure you’re running the latest version, as outdated files can sometimes contribute to login issues.
In conclusion, while Error 213 can be a temporary roadblock, regular updates and login attempts can pave the way back to action in Escape from Tarkov. If you’re looking for more tips and insights, feel free to dive deeper into related content on Moyens I/O.
