29.295 -> and you cozy into your computer
30.963 -> to jump on
to your Minecraft world.
33.233 -> You try to hop into your server
34.734 -> and you get the dreaded message:
36.435 -> A connection error.
38.103 -> It's heartbreaking,
39.405 -> and with little information
40.807 -> on what went wrong, it's
hard to know how to fix it.
44.143 -> These issues can range widely
from networking errors
47.28 -> to something as simple
as the server being offline,
50.883 -> but because there are so many
52.184 -> possible reasons,
53.352 -> it might take troubleshooting

we're going to be going over how
57.657 -> to fix those problems so that
you can get back to playing.
63.762 -> Of course, before
doing any of this, double check
66.265 -> to make sure
your server is online,
68.434 -> since that's the main
cause of an error like this.
71.437 -> It seems self-explanatory,
72.972 -> but don't worry,
we've all done it.
75.508 -> Head to your Apex Server panel
and find the Start,
79.045 -> Stop, Restart, and Force Stop bu
82.949 -> Depending on if the server
is completely offline
85.651 -> or if it has crashed, determines
87.72 -> what button
you're going to press.
89.856 -> If the server is offline,
then click start
92.291 -> and wait for it to load.
93.892 -> If the server is
endlessly loading,
95.894 -> which most likely means it
crashed,
98.03 -> then you're going
to want to press force stop.
100.266 -> Let it stop completely
and then restart it.
103.435 -> When the server comes online,
105.07 -> You'll see the offline turn
into an online near the buttons.
108.841 -> Once you see that, you can try
to join the server again.
112.044 -> Unfortunately,
if this doesn't work
114.013 -> and the server
continues to crash,
116.115 -> then you'll want to revert
any recent changes you made.
119.419 -> For example,
if you added Minecraft mods
121.754 -> before this happened,
then remove those
123.756 -> to see if that was
what was crashing the server.
126.358 -> Before you do that though, it's
best to review crash reports
129.229 -> to verify the problem
which you can learn about
131.53 -> how to do with our tutorial
that will be linked down below.
135.1 -> You can also try restoring
your server using our guide that
138.304 -> will also be linked.
142.708 -> Instead of connecting through
143.876 -> an added server
on the multiplayer list in-game,
147.146 -> try using the direct connect
method.
150.016 -> This will provide
150.95 -> you and other players
with the best
152.551 -> possible connection attempt.
154.654 -> Head over to your Apex Server
panel and copy
157.09 -> the IP Address:Port section
or the subdomain.
161.126 -> Open the Minecraft launcher
and click play for the profile
164.229 -> that you want to load
165.597 -> and when it loads, press
multiplayer in the main menu
169.001 -> and click direct connect
at the bottom, and paste the IP
172.404 -> Address:Port or the subdomain
into the textbox. Afterwards,
177.209 -> press join server
178.444 -> and you should start connecting
without problems.
183.883 -> If you get the connection
refused error
185.918 -> on a modded server,
187.419 -> then what could be the problem
is a mismatched mod list.
191.557 -> Double check
that you and all of the impacted
194.026 -> players have installed
the mods correctly.
196.728 -> You're also going to want
to make sure that every mod
199.065 -> that is on the launcher matches
what's in the server.
202.401 -> Without having the same
mods on each, the server will
205.238 -> automatically reject
the connection.
207.306 -> Other times mods
208.407 -> didn't get properly
installed on the server
210.476 -> and that can result
in the same situation.
213.512 -> Pretty much installing
everything on the server
215.781 -> and the launcher will resolve
the mod list error,
218.35 -> and with that,
the connection issue.
220.92 -> We have guides on
222.321 -> both of the mismatched mod list
and properly installing mods,
225.724 -> so to learn more about those,
227.26 -> head down to the description
and check them out.
232.898 -> Optimizing your
connection is the last option
235.668 -> for people still experiencing
the connection error.
238.804 -> This might consist of restarting
your router, flushing your DNS,
243.109 -> or tweaking firewall, antivirus,
or proxy settings.
247.112 -> Most of these options
248.314 -> will probably require
some research on your part,
251.083 -> but if you've tried
everything else,
252.818 -> then this might be worth doing
in order to fix the problem.
258.758 -> When all you want to do is play.
260.426 -> getting a connection
error can be super frustrating,
263.362 -> but with a little research
and work
265.231 -> you can have
the problem fixed in no time.
267.799 -> You'll want to keep
these problems
269.134 -> in the back of your mind
270.068 -> so that if you ever
271.036 -> get another error,
you can just go
272.905 -> right into solving the issue,
274.74 -> making your server
easier to join for everyone.
277.543 -> If you try all of these options
and it still won't let
280.313 -> you connect,
281.28 -> you can also head over
282.414 -> to your Apex page
and contact the support team
285.318 -> to see if they can help
you get it resolved.
287.487 -> That's all for this one, gamers.
289.055 -> As always,
I hope you have lots of fun.
