How To Fix Free Fire App Error occurred when connecting to server, please re-login Problem Solved

Why This Free Fire Login Error Happens

In 2025, many Free Fire players have reported seeing the “Error occurred when connecting to server, please re-login” message when trying to start the game. This issue can be caused by:

• Garena server maintenance or outages

• Unstable or slow internet connection

• Corrupted cache or game data

• Outdated Free Fire app version

• Incorrect device date and time settings

The good news? Most of these problems can be fixed in just a few minutes.

1. Check Free Fire Server Status

Before troubleshooting, check if the problem is on Garena’s side.

• Visit Garena’s official Free Fire Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for maintenance updates.

• Search “Free Fire server status” on Google to see if others are facing the same issue.

2. Restart Your Internet Connection

A weak or unstable connection is the most common cause of login errors.

• Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see which is faster.

• Restart your router or enable Airplane Mode for 10 seconds, then disable it.

3. Clear Game Cache (Android)

Temporary files can cause conflicts with the server.

• Go to Settings → Apps → Free Fire → Storage → Clear Cache.

• Avoid clearing data unless necessary, as it can reset game settings.

4. Update to the Latest Game Version

Old versions of Free Fire may not connect to the latest servers.

• Open Google Play Store or App Store.

• Search Garena Free Fire and install any pending updates.

5. Sync Your Date & Time Settings

Incorrect date/time can prevent secure server connections.

• Go to Settings → Date & Time.

• Enable Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone.

6. Log Out and Log Back In

If you can access the login screen:

• Select Log Out from the account menu.

• Re-enter your login details (Facebook, Google, or VK).

7. Reinstall Free Fire if Needed

If nothing works, try a fresh installation.

• Uninstall Free Fire from your device.

• Reinstall it from Play Store or App Store.

• Make sure your account is linked to Facebook, Google, or VK to avoid losing progress.

8. Wait for Server Fixes

If Garena is performing updates or experiencing downtime, you may need to wait until the servers are back online. These outages usually last from a few minutes to a few hours.

Bonus Tip: Speed Up Free Fire Connection with Custom APN/DNS Settings

Some players fix login issues by tweaking their internet settings. Using faster DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) can improve stability and reduce ping.

✅ Final Words:
The “Error occurred when connecting to server, please re-login” message can be frustrating, but in most cases, it’s easy to fix. Follow the steps above, and you’ll be back in action within minutes.
