Monster Hunter Wilds Error Codes

Monster Hunter Wilds is always-online, so nearly every error is a connection problem between your platform and Capcom's servers. The letter-number codes (R31A6, C1061, C1152) are network handshake or timeout failures. Here's what each common code means and the fastest fix.

Error codes

R31A6-0-0:3 Network handshake failure

Cause: The client tried to establish or maintain a connection with Capcom's servers and something broke - usually server load or a local network block.

Fix:
  1. Check Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds server status for maintenance.
  2. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection and restart your router.
  3. Allow the game through your firewall and disable any VPN/proxy.
C1061-0-0 Communication timeout

Cause: The connection timed out, commonly when the game is tabbed out on Xbox, but also seen on PS5 and PC.

Fix:
  1. Keep the game focused (don't tab out during connection).
  2. Restart the game and power-cycle your router.
  3. Use a wired connection and check server status.
C1152-TMT-TD72 Unable to connect to the network (PlayStation)

Cause: A network issue on PlayStation's side, or a wider server problem.

Fix:
  1. Wait and retry - this is often resolved server-side.
  2. Rebuild your PS5 network: Settings -> Network -> Set Up Internet Connection.
  3. Set manual DNS (1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1) and check server status.
SD083-TAD-W79T Sudden loss of connection to the server

Cause: Either a server-wide issue or your own internet dropped mid-session.

Fix:
  1. Check server status for a wider outage.
  2. Restart your router and use a wired connection.
  3. Retry after a minute; the session usually restores.
ea_1869f / ea_186a6 / r1187 Server connection error

Cause: The game couldn't reach or authenticate to Capcom's online services - server load or a blocked connection.

Fix:
  1. Retry during off-peak hours; check server status.
  2. Run the game as Administrator and allow it through the firewall.
  3. Switch to wired and disable VPN/proxy.
235 81 Server connection issue / network timeout

Cause: A network timeout reaching the servers.

Fix:
  1. Restart your router and check the game's server status.
  2. Use a wired connection and flush DNS (ipconfig /flushdns).
  3. Disable VPN and allow the game through the firewall.

Fixes that work for most Monster Hunter Wilds (PC, PS5 & Xbox) errors

  1. Check the game's server status first (official status page, or the studio's support/Twitter) — 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. Flush your DNS (Command Prompt: ipconfig /flushdns) or switch to a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1 if the game can't reach its servers.
  5. Verify/repair the game files (Steam: Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify; console: reinstall the update) if the error points at a corrupted install or update.
