Honkai Star Rail is a new free-to-play 3D role-playing video game that is currently very popular. However, since it recently launched, some players are experiencing issues and bugs when starting the game or trying to connect to the game servers. Many players are receiving Honkai Star Rail Error Code 200 when attempting to access the game servers. If you’re also facing this problem, you can follow this guide for help.
The problem may be caused by scalability or overload issues with the Honkai Star Rail game servers. There could be too many players trying to run the game at the same time, depending on the region, and the game servers may not be able to handle the traffic. Although Honkai Star Rail seems to be optimized for the available platforms, it’s not surprising that developers will need more time to make it more stable than its initial stage.
Fix: Honkai Star Rail Error Code 200
Now, if you’re also having the same error code 200 with the Honkai Star Rail game while trying to log into it then the chances are high that there might be a couple of potential reasons applicable. Such as internet connection issues, downtime or technical fault with the game server, an outdated game version, conflicts with the installed game files, temporary glitches with the system, problems with the security software blocking, VPN-related issues, and so on.
So, checking for all troubleshooting methods below one by one is highly recommended until the problem has been fixed. Now, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into it.
1. Reboot the Gaming Device
First, you should try rebooting the respective gaming device manually at your end to ensure there is no issue with the game launching. Restarting the gaming device will refresh the temporary glitch or cache data issue.
2. Run the Game as an administrator
Make sure to run the game app file on your PC as administrator access to allow the User Account Control (UAC) access to the system. In some cases, your system requires the UAC access permission to run a program which is quite important. By following the steps below you’ll have to allow the admin access for once and it won’t ask you for the same again. To do so:
- Go to the installed Honkai Star Rail game directory.
- Right-click on the application file on your PC.
- Click on Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.
- Click on the Run this program as an administrator checkbox to enable it.
- Once done, click on Apply and then OK to save changes.
- Finally, just double-click on the game app file to launch it.
If in case, you’re running the game via the Epic Games Launcher then perform the same steps too.
3. Check the Internet Connection
You should also check the internet connection at your end to ensure there is no issue with the poor or unstable network. If in case, your internet connection isn’t running well, make sure to try using another network or switching the Wi-Fi network to a wired (ethernet) connection or vice versa. Alternatively, you can try using the mobile data connection as a hotspot to check for the issue. Otherwise, you should contact your service provider to get technical assistance.
4. Power Cycle the Wi-Fi Router
Sometimes only rebooting the game or device or switching the internet connection may not be useful because there might be an issue with the Wi-Fi router. In that scenario, performing the power cycle on your Wi-Fi router can also fix the internet connectivity-related issues completely. To do that:
- Power Off the Wi-Fi Router first > Once the LED indicators stopped, unplug the power cable from the router.
- Now, wait for around 30 seconds, and then plug back the power cable into the router.
- Turn on the router and check for the issue again.
5. Update the Honkai Star Rail Game
If you’re still running the outdated Honkai Star Rail game on your gaming device then it may cause compatibility issues or server connectivity errors. To simply update the app:
For Android:
- Open the Google Play Store app > Tap on the hamburger menu icon.
- Next, tap on My Apps & Games.
- Check if the Honkai Star Rail game update is showing or not.
- If available, select Update next to the app.
- Then install the update and then check for the issue.

6. Verify and Repair the Game Files
Another thing you should also try is verifying and repairing the installed game files on the respective gaming device to ensure there is no issue with the missing or corrupted game files. Just follow the steps below to perform the task.
- Open the Epic Games Launcher > Click on Honkai Star Rail in the library.
- Click on the three dots next to the game.
- Select the Manage option.
- Now, click on the Verify option.
- Confirm the task and wait for it to complete.
- Once done, reboot the PC to apply changes.
7. Disable the Antivirus Protection
You can also try disabling the antivirus protection software manually by following the steps below to ensure there is no issue with the game application running on the PC. In most cases, the Windows Defender antivirus software might trouble you a lot due to the blocking of the game files in the background.
- Press the Win+I keys to open Windows Settings.
- Now, click on Update & Security.
- Click on Windows Security from the left pane.
- Click on the Open Windows Security button.
- Go to Virus & threat protection > Click on Manage Settings.

8. Don’t Use a VPN
If in case, you’re still encountering the same error then make sure to avoid using the VPN service on your networking device or the gaming device. Though the VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows you to connect to the game servers depending on the region, sometimes the VPN connection might trigger several issues with the game server connectivity.
9. Clear the Game Cache Data
If in case, you’re trying to play Honkai Star Rail on your Android or iOS or PlayStation or Windows device then try clearing the app cache data and the storage data from the settings menu of the game application to refresh glitches. Sometimes outdated or corrupted app cache data can also cause several issues whatsoever.

- Once done, tap on Storage & Cache.
- Tap on Clear Storage > Launch the game to check for the issue.
For iOS:
There is no option to do this on iPhone. Only a force restart will do the job. Force rebooting the iPhone will clear the temporary glitches or potential cache data quite easily. To do so:

- Now, quickly press the Volume Up (+) key and release, then quickly press the Volume Down (-) key and release, then quickly press & hold the Power (side key) button for a few seconds until the Apple boot logo appears on the screen.
- After the Apple logo appears, you can release the Power (side key) button.
- You’ll need to wait for your iPhone to boot to the system.

- Choose System Storage, Online Storage, or USB Storage.
- Select Delete > Select the Honkai Star Rail game.
- Checkmark the files you want to delete or Select All.
- Finally, select Delete > Select OK to confirm the task.
- Once done, reboot your console to check for the issue.
