Aniimo keeps disconnecting and reconnecting: what's known
Aniimo repeatedly drops you with an "auto-reconnecting" screen, sometimes recovering by itself and sometimes dumping you at the main menu or freezing your skills for a few seconds. Two players say their wider internet connection dropped while the game was running.
Also appears as: auto-reconnecting, aniimo auto reconnecting, aniimo keeps disconnecting, aniimo disconnecting and reconnecting, aniimo disconnects my internet, aniimo reconnecting loop
Players report Aniimo cutting out and reconnecting over and over, often while a second player on the same network has no trouble. That points at the game's session or server side rather than your router.
Pawprint's September 16 patch (1.0.3535596.0) listed a fix for "repeated disconnections and reconnections during client lag", and a September 21 preview listed a fix for an "infinite reconnection loop". Two Steam threads still had reports afterwards, one on October 2 "after the latest update".
Some players said routing changes helped, one for about ten minutes. For the related dialogs see Network request failed (/aniimo/errors/network-request-failed/) and error 107 (/aniimo/errors/107/); live state is on the status page (/aniimo/).
What to try
- 01Reported
Update Aniimo to the latest patch
Make sure Steam has finished updating Aniimo. Pawprint's patch 1.0.3535596.0 (September 16) listed a fix for repeated disconnections and reconnections during client lag, and later updates followed. The fix isn't verified for everyone: one player reported the problem starting after a later update.
- 02Unconfirmed
Uninstall and reinstall Aniimo (one report)
One player who had tried a modem restart, DNS changes, clearing cache, running as administrator and changing DirectX settings said a complete uninstall and reinstall worked "for now". Only one report.
- 03Reported
Send your UID and server region to Pawprint
In the Steam thread, the account marked as the developer asked a player for their UID and server region. Include both if you report it, for example through the in-game F10 report one poster said they would use.
- 04Unconfirmed
Router restart, DNS tweaks and running as administrator didn't help one player
The same player who later reinstalled said that restarting the modem, tweaking DNS, clearing the cache, running as administrator and changing DirectX settings did nothing.
- 05Unconfirmed
No confirmed fix yet for players still affected
No confirmed fix yet for players who still disconnect on the latest patch; this page will be updated.
