How to identify connectivity issues on your end

If you are having trouble logging in to the game despite The First Descendant's servers being fully operational, it might be due to your internet connection being unstable or game files being corrupted.

Here are some possible solutions to these issues:

Verify the integrity of your game files on Steam. This will resolve any issues caused by the game files being corrupted.
If the issue is with your internet connection being unstable, restart your router. Additionally, if you are on a wireless network, switching to a wired connection might help, as it will provide a more stable connection to the game's servers.
Try reinstalling the game if none of the above solutions work.
Lastly, if you are still having trouble logging in to the game, wait for a new patch to drop.
