While "SOUL COVENANT" generally allows online multiplayer without port forwarding, there may be cases where communication is restricted due to errors related to your network environment, router, or provider's security settings.
If issues occur only when playing with specific players, please also check their communication status and compatibility.
If there is no error code, trying one of the following solutions may help improve the situation:
* The effectiveness of these solutions may vary depending on your environment and settings. Please consult your provider or device manufacturer for detailed assistance.
* Due to various factors, we cannot guarantee a definitive solution. Thank you for your understanding.
* PlayStation Plus (subscription required) is necessary for online multiplayer on PlayStation 5.
(1) Restart internet-related devices (modem, ONU, CTU, router, etc.) and wait for a while before playing.
* Wait several minutes after turning off and on the power.
* Some devices may require several minutes to several hours to properly restart.
* If you are unsure how to restart, please consult your device manufacturer.
(2) If your router or CTU has UPnP functionality, enable it.
* UPnP facilitates connections between devices on a network.
* If you're unsure how to set it up, please contact your router manufacturer or provider.
(3) If other devices (such as PCs or smartphones) are using the same connection, temporarily refrain from using them and play in a "game-only" state.
* Using the same connection for multiple devices can cause instability in communication.
* If playing without using other devices resolves the issue, it's likely the cause.
(4) If your PlayStation 5 is connected wirelessly to the network, consider connecting it via a wired connection if possible.
* Wireless connections may be less stable, and a wired connection could improve stability.
(5) If you're connecting through a router, try connecting directly to the internet with minimal equipment.
If removing the router improves the situation, the issue may be with the router. Please consult your router manufacturer.
* PPPoE settings may be necessary for network settings on the PlayStation 5.
* For details, please check with your provider.
(6) Check if your provider's network connection is stable, and if it's unstable, wait for stability before trying to play again.
Issues with the provider's connection may affect gameplay, so please confirm with them if any problems occur.
(7) If necessary, open the ports required for PlayStation Network and Steam on your router, CTU, or provider.
* Opening ports without restricting IP addresses can pose security risks to other devices. Please be cautious.
* If you're unsure how to set it up, please contact your router manufacturer or provider.
* Open all ports that are restricted.
