1. Update PlayStation Firmware

If your PlayStation system software automatic download is stuck, you can delete the update, and start over again.

• Next, choose Settings > System Software Update.
• If you face multiple failed downloads, make sure to update the PS4 system software using a USB from this link.

2. Cross-Check Internet Speed

Make sure to check your internet speed properly because a slower internet connection can drastically affect your online gaming experience with a big margin. You can use the SpeedTest website to check the internet speed. If somehow your internet speed isn’t up to the mark, you can follow the next method.

3. Check Wi-Fi Router Configuration

If you’re using the Wi-Fi network via the router then you should check the packet data loss, p2p settings, wireless settings, etc because anything misconfigured or skipped settings can cause several connectivity issues.

Additionally, you should also clear log files, free up some memory, clear guest clients, etc if you’re geek enough. Otherwise, use Google DNS addresses to check if that fixes the problem or not.

4. Set Up Port Forwarding

If you’re a Nioh 2 PC gamer via the Steam client and facing the connection error, make sure to set up the port forwarding on your Wi-Fi router (wireless settings). Follow this link to set up the required ports for Steam.

5. Disable Windows Security or Antivirus Program

Well, this is not a new thing for PC gamers as sometimes Windows Security program or third-party antivirus software can prevent game files to run properly. In that scenario, you should temporarily disable the Windows Security program or antivirus program to check whether the game is running fine or not. For the third-party antivirus program, you’ll need to simply head over to the antivirus software interface and turn off the real-time protection.

Meanwhile, if you’re not using any third-party antivirus programs, make sure to go to the Windows Settings > Update & Security > Click on Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Click on ‘Manage Settings’ under the “Virus & Threat Protection Settings” > Turn Off ‘Real-time Protection’.
