Failed to join server : error code 4008
platform:
Microsoft store (game pass)
PlayerID:
CodeX996
Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
Everyday , all the time
Can u tell us what the time to fix this i wait like 4 month now and nothing word steel get code 4008 that was stuipd i never see that at any game i played
Error 4008 occurring for the past 2 months for me. Waiting for “we are working on it ASAP” made me grow a mustache.
I am also having this issue, i have posted twice (incorrectly, i know, i was exceptionally upset at the time) about seemingly co-related issue of error 3001 in approriate thread. This issue was not a thing until one of more recent patches, for sure.
I am playing from Russia, my ISP is PJSC Rostelecom.
Please fix this, i really do want to play the game i have paid for.
I would be inclined to believe that it is my country’s ISPs doing shady censorship/blocking stuff, as they do a lot these days, but then it surely wouldn’t be so selective as to only affect one game specifically.
Issue Description:
Constant error codes 4008, 3001, 9999

Edit:
Here is an extra log i just got that by some miracle connected on first try, if that is of any help.

Extra Edit:
My friend who is into net stuff analysed the logs i had and came to conclusion that my connection keeps cutting off when trying to connect to 34.242.56.85:35590, 34.242.56.85:35640, 34.242.56.85:35650 or 34.242.56.85:35620 i time out trying to join anything from that peer.
But some times it routes me towards 54.155.84.133:35530 and it works perfectly.
I also can connect successfully if i use a VPN to connect from US, to AWS-US-West-2, so there is some pathing issue with AWS-EU-West-1.
Supposedly the ips 34.242.56.85 and 54.155.84.133 are both AWS DBs in Ireland.
I also did AWS speed test to even see if my traffic even reaches EU datacenters, just in case, and there were no issues at all.
Hope that might help.

This has been happening a lot lately:
Group with friends. Do a mission. Then try to do another mission. Attempt to join/create match, either public or private, doesn’t seem to matter which. Get a “Reconnect to ongoing game session” message. Then get a failed joining server error code 4008. Happens repeatedly and completely prevents us from playing any missions. Sometimes it’s fixed by restarting the game, sometimes not. Sometimes it’s fixed if a different person creates the game, sometimes not. I think this only occurs after we do a mission, not on the first mission, although I’m not 100% sure of that.
Hi Julia! I am from Egypt and I am seeing a lot of Egyptians complaining about the 4008 error and I am seeing no updates, can you provide one as I am already seeing that it is country specific and you already fixed in France ?
Hello Fatshark,
I recently got the new update after not being able to play due to Error Code 4008 for 3 whole months in the “Choosing your Operatives” Area, and was able to FINALLY get to the mission area after so long. Had to leave early due to errands, but when I came back to try again I got the same Error Code 4008 again despite your update and now I am back to not even getting to the mission area. What the hell I thought you fixed this

it let me in the hub but said i joined mission but i never left the hub and kept getting error 4008
we understand issues remain especially in certain parts of the world.
I guess Uppsala is one of these certain parts of the world 
(I am based in Uppsala, Sweden ~1h away from Stockholm)
On a more serious note, I have been experiencing this very issue on Wednesday and Thursday and was unable to log in due to handshake timeouts when joining the lobby/hub. Checking the game logs the failing bit was usually:
16:15:17.014 [Lua] INFO [PartyImmateriumHubSessionBoot] Searching for WAN lobby on 3.70.172.14:35530
16:15:17.016 [Lua] INFO [SessionBootBase] Changed state fetchingserverdetails → handshake

16:15:23.000 [SSLSocket] Disconnecting. (ip: ‘3.70.172.14:35530’)
though I had one instance with a different failure:
16:51:27.511 [Lua] INFO [PartyImmateriumHubSessionBoot] Searching for WAN lobby on 3.70.172.14:35600
16:51:27.511 [Lua] INFO [SessionBootBase] Changed state fetchingserverdetails → handshake

16:51:30.696 [SSLSocket] Disconnecting. (ip: ‘3.70.172.14:35600’)
Today (Friday) the error has resolved itself. I also learned today that my network provider (not the ISP, but the one owning the physical cables) had a network issue during the time I had connection issues. They throttled everybody’s connection to ~2-3M (down from 100M in my case).
This suggests the hypothesis that the issue is related to latency and is most likely caused by a too-aggressive timeout during the SSL handshake (and while waiting for a list of lobbies to join). Making this more relaxed might fix the problem for some (many?) players.
Ofc, high latency has a direct implication on the quality of the gameplay experience, so if the failure to connect is intentional an alternative route would be to display a more friendly error message like “failed to connect due to high latency”…
