To celebrate our Free for All launch, I baked us a cake, but I dropped it on the servers and now I am cleaning up the frosting from the computery bits."

Before you go all IT Crowd on your gaming equipment and try to fix the disconnected from the servers error, we suggest checking the Fall Guys server status.

If the servers are operational and other players appear to not suffer from the Fall Guys disconnected from the server issue, then we suggest trying the general steps below.

• Restart your PC or console.
• Restart your router (turn it off for 10 minutes then turn it back on again).
• Use a LAN cable to connect your router to your gaming device instead of Wi-Fi.
• Make sure your internet connection is working properly.
• Check that no background downloads such as a sneaky Windows update is running.
• Uninstall and reinstall Fall Guys.

If issues still persist, we suggest giving it a few hours or even days and keeping an eye on any updates from Mediatonic. Watch the Fall Guys free-to-play trailer below while you wait.
