Rise of Kingdoms: Network Unstable Errors & Connection Problems [How to Fix]

| |

Every now and then, I start getting those really annoying “Network Unstable” errors in Rise of Kingdoms. This usually means that I have to reload the game over and over again and I only get to play in tiny little bursts of time.

So today I have decided to write about these “network unstable” errors in Rise of Kingdoms and share with you all the potential methods to fix them once and for all.

Although, as you will see, it’s not always something that we can do as the problems are server-related – either an update pending, a malfunction or something similar.

Because, after all, this is what this type of error is: a connection problem. They usually start when you try to tap something in the game: you will notice a delay (usually when it comes to reading or clearing out your emails in Rise of Kingdoms), but also when looking for new Barbarian targets to attack or searching for resources to farm.

So whenever you are starting to see delays, if you are already in the game, send your troops out and perform all important actions as the servers and game might go down!

The error message is always the same: “Network unstable, connection lost” and then it’s followed by something like “Please click CONFIRM to reconnect” and you also have an error code.

These might vary from user to user, but in my case, it is the error code e12:7920 that has been caught on screen.

So the most common type of connection problem that I get with Rise of Kingdoms is similar to the one in the screenshot below:

Here is another connection error message in Rise of Kingdoms:

There are various connection errors and network lost messages in the game, but rarely that code will mean much to us. It can appear while you are playing or when you try to log in to the game.

How to fix the Network Unstable problems in RoK?

1. Based on extensive play since the game was launched, I can tell you that usually these connection problems start popping up right before the game is about to go in Maintenance mode, or immediately before or after an update is released.

In this case, it is the developer’s servers that are actually having problems and there is little you can do to fix them.

The only thing you can do if it’s indeed their servers is to wait and come back later – or simply try to reconnect tapping the required button. In most cases, after 2-3 reconnects, everything will work as it should.

If it doesn’t, just do the difficult thing of putting the game away for 30 minutes and come back later.

Usually, these maintenance delays are announced in advance by the development team, so make sure that you keep an eye on the in-game news for any scheduled maintenance announcements.

2. However, it’s not always the developer’s problem. You might also be experiencing some network-related issues, so make sure that you are connected to WiFi or a mobile internet network and you have a strong signal.

You can go as far as restarting your WiFi router to make sure that everything’s working fine. If you are on Mobile data, make sure that you have a solid signal.

3. Force quit the game and re-launch it. This should also fix any problem with the game that’s not caused by the game’s server.

In order to force quit the game, exit it, then bring up the menu with your active apps and remove it from the list, before launching it again.

4. Make sure that you are not using any resource-hogging applications in the background. If your device is updating other apps, or if some resource-demanding ones are running in the background, you might run into problems especially if you’re playing the game on an older device.

So turn off all background apps when playing Rise of Kingdoms, to make sure that it has all the required resources to run flawlessly.

But, in most cases, it’s the problem with the game’s servers which are either going through maintenance (these are usually announced in advance), handling a brand new update or dealing with some sort of error.

The good news is that in the majority of situations when this happens, Lilith Games compensates players with a bunch of free Gems, so your trouble is not in vain.

  1. I am stuck now for 3 days on: Network unstable, connection lost. Please click CONFIRM to reconnect. Error 8
    I have un installed the game & bluestacks, twice.
    I have even cleared out all the file I could find after the un-install, both on the drive and REGEDIT file.
    All other bluestack games work, but not ROK. On the cell phone I see that the default back ground is the Vikings, but on Bluestacks it is still the Romans.

The connection issues having been ongoing at least a month now with with varying levels of frequency and duration.
