"Error: Connection Timed Out"
Hello, I was able to login to the game about 3 hours ago without any issues. For the past hour now i've been trying to login.
When i click "continue" it says vampires: 0/0, Server: Unknown and when i load it says "Connecting 5/5" then it stops and gives me an error message saying
"Error: Connetion timed out."
It's been going on for an hour straight.

Patzisaurus MergedWhen Secrets of Gloomrot released, I could play on the 17th and 18th I could play for dozens of hours without having any issues. But when I started to play today, while playing, every 5min30sec to 5min50sec I got the red Square with the skull on the top right, saying CONNECTION ISSUES, followed by the message in the middle of the Screen COMMUNICATION WITH SERVER WAS LOST. REASON: CONNECTION TIMED OUT.
I already uninstalled and installed the game, checked if there where updates for my drivers, even ran Windows Memory Diagnostics, everything was alright. There were no changes on the WAN-Settings in my modem aswell.
As Im at my wit's end, I hope someone can help me solve this issue :)
Kind Regards -

Report: After the new patch on May 19th, when I click PLAY/CONTINUE, the game connection times out at 5/5 and then I get the Error: Connection timed out.
I could play the game without issues before this patch. I haven't modified my game files and haven't installed any mods.
I have tried verifying game files and restarting my PC, but I still get the same issue. -

T4urus MergedThere are a lot of people complaining that they cannot access the servers due to this error, I learned about the game's return for this reason, I tried to find out more about the machine settings and internet connection, but there is no common point because the settings and connections of the machine are varied.

REPORT:
Game was running fine before update.
Connecting to server on game list (doesn't matter if private or official) is ending with "connection timed out on loading or preloading shaders.
I've tried to switch off prewarm shaders and dc is happening on character build page
Local server is loading fine.
No VPN
Only windows defender with Vi Rising exceptions
No mods.
Have you tried any solutions?
-Verify files: Steam > Right click on V Rising > Properties > Local files > Verify integrity of game files
(done)
-Please try restarting your PC
(done)
For server issues, is the server Official / Public non-official / Private?

Samantha MergedI get this notification after joining any server. Doesn't matter weather it is official, unofficial or private. It loads everything right up until the window that asks us to click to continue. It is this screen that tells me 'Error Connection Time Out'.
Can Someone help please? -

Report: I've been having this problem for a long time, before the Gloomrot Update, which made me stop playing for a while. I click to join some server, it loads for a while and then the error appears. I could play the game without issues before, but once I traveled and took the laptop to throw away, and when I got back home I couldn't play anymore. It has this connection problem all the time.
I haven't modified my game files and haven't installed any mods.
I have tried verifying game files and restarting my PC, I even formatted my PC! (Which fixed the problem for one time, so I quit the game and then tried to join the server again: Error).
But I still get the same issue.

Ip'Ij'MathrubThis started happening to me yesterday. I was able to play normally without a problem whatsoever with this machine from Tuesday to Saturday and since Sunday I have been unable to get into any servers consistently.
When I "connect" to a server 3 things may happen:
1 - I'm an unknown character, with an invite to a clan called "Blood Drinkers" (Regardless which server I connect to, this happens with them all.), my HP bar has some strange colors and it's written as "hp 1/ hp 2. A little later, I time out.
2 - I'm in the create a new character screen and as soon as I finish creating it I time out;
3 - I get a time out as soon as the game tells me to click to start. -

Ip'Ij'MathrubI've just noticed here that we have 2 issues on this thread. The initial one, of the OP, which is about offline servers [you can notice it since it's about (5/5), meaning the server is not responding to a connection request] and we have the one I mistakenly followed through along others [seems to have initiated with the wrongful merge of Vrecter issue with this one.] It is possible there is even a third one, Patzisaurus' one, and I can't say anything about the ones which have nothing else about them.
Just because the names of the issues are the same doesn't mean the problems are the same. Have some more discretion when dealing with people's problem, guys.... -

AbbotI have an issue where my server is showing in the server list but I am the only one who can join. My Friends are only able to join through steam if I am already in the server. I am hosting the server on a PC on my local network. I have forwarded all ports correctly. This only seems to be happening since the GloomRot update

ZorkSince yesterday I haven't been able to enter my already started game or a new one. I'm constantly getting Connection Timed Out, either at the end of Loading, halfway through or at the end of Prewarming Shaders, or even when I'm at the character creation stage.
