Fix: Farming Simulator 22 multiplayer not working

When you click on the Multiplayer option in Farming Simulator 22, an error message may sometimes pops up. It usually says the connection to the multiplayer game could not be established. If you can’t play Farming Simulator’s multiplayer, follow the troubleshooting steps below to solve the problem.

Farming Simulator: No connection could be established to the multiplayer game

Fix 1: Reset your Internet connection

Make sure your Internet connection is working properly. If you’re experiencing bandwidth issues or random disconnections, you won’t be able to join Farming Simulator’s multiplayer servers.

• If you’re using a wireless connection, switch to a cable connection.
• Disconnect all the other devices connected to the same network.
• Unplug your router, and wait for two minutes. Then plug the router back into a wall outlet and check if you can play multiplayer mode.

Fix 2: Reset TCP/IP on PC

1. Launch Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Enter the following commands and hit Enter after each one:
   • netsh winsock reset
   • netsh int ipv4 reset
   • netsh int ipv6 reset
     • Use the third command if you use IPv6.
3. Launch the game again.

Fix 3: Check Farming Simulator’s server status

Visit Farming Simulator’s official Twitter account and check if the devs acknowledged any server issues. If this is the case, wait until they’ve fixed the problem on their end.

If everything is up and running server-side, wait for a few minutes and try again later. Maybe Farming Simulator’s servers are overloaded. Wait it out.

Try connecting to a server from a different region and check if you can play multiplayer. Hopefully, other servers will respond to your connection request in a timely manner.

Fix 4: Check your multiplayer permissions

Make sure none of the multiplayer permissions are blocked.

1. Go to your Multiplayer settings.
2. Turn off Allow only friends.
3. Then set Auto Accept on Off.

This will help you block people you don’t know. Once all the players have joined the game, set Max players to the number of friends you have in your game. This will prevent strangers from joining your game.

Fix 5: Disable VPN

If you’re using a VPN, temporarily disable the tool and check if you can play Farming Simulator multiplayer. Many gamers confirmed this solution worked for them. Give it a try and see if it works for you as well.

On the other hand, some players suggested this issue could have something to do with non-static IP. They suggested that using a VPN that put everybody on the same “virtual LAN” might solve the problem. Try both options (VPN on and off) to see which method does the trick for you.

Fix 6: Set NAT type to Open on consoles

1. On your Xbox, go to Settings.
2. Select General.
3. Then select Network settings.
4. Check the NAT Type field under Current Network Status.
5. Make sure that your NAT type is set to Open.

Conclusion

If Farming Simulator multiplayer is not working, restart your router, and switch to a cable connection. Additionally, reset TCP/IP on PC. Ensure none of the multiplayer permissions are blocked. Enable and then disable your VPN and check which option works for you. On consoles, make sure to set NAT type to Open.
