Verify Server and Game Status

To verify the server and game status in Knockout City, the first step is to check the official game server status page. This will provide real-time updates on any ongoing issues or maintenance. If the servers are up and running, but you are still experiencing network errors, try restarting your router and modem. This can often resolve connectivity issues.

Additionally, check your internet connection to ensure it is stable and strong. Consider switching to a wired connection if you are using Wi-Fi. You can also try changing your DNS settings to Google Public DNS or using a VPN like NordVPN for a more secure connection.

If the problem persists, it may be worth checking for any firewall or antivirus settings that could be blocking the game. Make sure that Knockout City has the necessary permissions to access the internet.

Ensure Stable Internet and DNS Configuration

Issue	Solution
Slow Internet Connection	Check your internet speed using a speed test tool. Contact your internet service provider if necessary.
Unstable Internet Connection	Move closer to your Wi-Fi router or use a wired connection for better stability. Consider upgrading your internet plan if needed.
DNS Configuration Error	Check your DNS settings and make sure they are configured correctly. You can use Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) for better stability.
Network Firewall Blocking Connection	Check your firewall settings and make sure Knockout City is allowed to connect to the internet. Disable any third-party firewall software that may be causing issues.

Keep Your Game Version Current

If your game is already up to date, consider restarting your device and clearing the cache to refresh your connection. Sometimes network errors can be caused by temporary data or settings issues.

Additionally, ensure your internet connection is stable and strong. Try resetting your router or modem, or switching to a different network if possible. Test your connection speed and consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for added security and stability.

By keeping your game version current and maintaining a strong internet connection, you can troubleshoot and fix network errors in Knockout City efficiently.
