🎮 Game Error Codes What it means & how to fix it

Fall Guys Error Codes

Fall Guys' errors are mostly Epic account/login and file problems. The 200_xxx family covers login and session issues (200_001 is the Epic account error, 200_1040 is 'session expired', 200_2147483647 shows up on PlayStation), 201_003 points at corrupted local files, and LS_0013 is a launcher/login-service error. Because the game is Epic-account-based, re-authenticating fixes many of them. Here's what each common code means and the fastest fix.

Error codes

200_001 Epic Games account / login error

Cause: Mostly a log-in problem with the linked Epic Games account, or missing/outdated game files.

Fix:
  1. Log out of the Epic Games launcher and log back in.
  2. Verify the Fall Guys files in your library — a widely confirmed fix for this error.
  3. Re-link your platform account to Epic if the login won't complete.
200_1040 Session expired, please restart your game

Cause: You were idle too long and booted from the online service, or your game version is outdated.

Fix:
  1. Restart the game to start a fresh session.
  2. On PC, verify the files to download any missing or outdated updates.
  3. Update to the current version if the client is behind.
201_003 Corrupted or missing local game files

Cause: Corrupt local files, deleted game files, or an issue while trying to join other players.

Fix:
  1. Run the 'FallGuys_client_game' executable as administrator.
  2. Verify/repair the game files to restore anything missing.
  3. Reinstall the game if verification doesn't clear it.
200_2147483647 Connection error (commonly on PlayStation)

Cause: A network/connection problem, often on PSN or a poor wireless link.

Fix:
  1. Check the PSN server status before troubleshooting.
  2. Switch your Wi-Fi band to 5 GHz or use a wired connection.
  3. Change your DNS settings (e.g. 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1) and retry.
LS_0013 Launcher / login-service error

Cause: The login service couldn't start your session, often during Epic/service issues or an account-link problem.

Fix:
  1. Restart the launcher and check Epic/Fall Guys service status.
  2. Re-link or re-authenticate your Epic account.
  3. Verify game files and relaunch once services are confirmed up.

Fixes that work for most Fall Guys (PC/Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch) errors

  1. Check the game's server status first (official status page, or the studio's support/X account) — most named connection errors are a maintenance window or outage, and no local fix will help until servers are back.
  2. Restart the game and your PC/console, and power-cycle your router — a fresh connection clears the majority of temporary login and connection errors.
  3. On PC, allow the game and its launcher through your firewall and antivirus, and disable any VPN or proxy — these block the authentication handshake behind many 'can't connect' codes.
  4. Verify/repair the game files (Steam: Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify; launcher: repair) if the error points at a corrupted install or update.
  5. Update your GPU driver (do a clean install with DDU if needed) and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables — missing runtime files and stale drivers cause most launch crashes.
