How to Fix Fall Guys
Connection Issues
If Fall Guyswon't connect or keeps timing out, follow these steps in order. First, check the live status page to confirm whether it's a server-side outage or a local issue.
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Epic Games Status
Fall Guys runs on Epic infrastructure. Visit status.epicgames.com for current service status.
2
Restart the Epic Games Launcher
Fully close the Epic Games Launcher from the system tray, then relaunch and try again.
3
Check your NAT type
Open NAT is required for Fall Guys matchmaking. Enable UPnP in your router settings.
4
Use a wired connection
Ethernet reduces packet loss and prevents you from falling behind in physics-based rounds.
5
Verify game files
Epic Games Launcher: Fall Guys → three dots → Manage → Verify to repair corrupted files.
6
Restart your console
A full power-off restart (not sleep mode) clears console memory and fixes many transient connection issues.
