How To Fix Nintendo Switch Error "A Server Communication Has Occurred"

[@TheMoonLily]

Thank you for this video! 2 years later and this is still an issue with the Switch on both models. The DNS fix resolved my issue connecting with the Nintendo servers and I’m able to connect now and play normally.

[@Alex_RD0]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's suffering from this right now

[@Burak-uv9bx]

Same istg

[@lolnovo]

everyone will be down

[@raul5572]

There is actually a server connection error right now but the issue is on Nintendo’s end their servers are down for scheduled maintenance

[@jaredgagnon7342]

Same

[@Infinite12029]

Me

[@mrthorian8096]

So annoying as it’s happening more and more recently, it’s really pissing me off to the point of me almost exploding of pure rage at these problems that shouldn’t even be happening in the first place

[@rogueredfoxx5173]

Do you recall the error code? My switch has been doing the same thing frequently.

[@SirachaStreetCorn]

Me to. Been trying to play relaxing animal crossing and ready to throw my switch because I paid for online and can’t play😢

[@jenniferabel2811]

"That man was right!" said my 9 year old. The DNS suggestion worked. Thank you, we are all grateful to have moved on from this problem.

[@Nokikuji]

A lot of ISP (mine for example) tell you NOT to reset the router because they set it up on their end with their settings and if you do reset the router, you would have to bring your router back to them or have them come to your house to fix it. If your ISP does this, they probably have a sticker over the reset button telling you not to reset it, but if not, please make sure you don't reset your router without contacting your ISP and making sure its ok to do so.

[@jamesr4717]

My man thank you SO much! I literally tried EVERYTHING and even factory reset my switch. As soon as I did the DNS adjustment I'm connecting to the cloud again. I should've come here first!

[@TysViralVideos]

Why is everyone switch going out at the same time

[@KclaudioLeadership]

Hi Moe is there any way to fix the communication error with parental controls?

[@Morgan-yu6ex]

none of this worked for me i’m so frustrated

[@deannamartinez616]

Thanks 👍 this helped alot instead of changing it to manual I changed it to automatic because it was already on manual and changing it to automatic helped thanks

[@002cheezeburger]

I Can't understand the numbers you said...slow down

[@vaqalberto669]

You can literally slow down the speed from the video.

[@nittaslzr]

Uhh nothing worked, my kid wants to play animal Royale 😔. Should i just return to store, i got coverage on it.? Will i have the same issues if i buy the game card? Why is it not working? Its still saying cannot connect to game server.. it was wprking great a couple of days ago.

[@MyPuppyBoy]

I hate the error I never got to open my gates on animal crossing because of it but also thank you for the advice your a big help👍even tho all those didnt work im glad it did to other people

[@Rederax.]

Ok, this didnt work, for some reason before it let me play 1 smash bros match and rematch this one person, then stopped letting me do anything, i dont lnow why

[@JJFanonimous]

Event after 2 years your proposed solutions works thank you 🙏

[@CloudyFilmsYT]

Been trying to fix this the whole f*ng day. Thanks so much my dude

[@chrisoakley7227]

This definitely worked for me thanks for sharing 😊

[@andrewjones7236]

What happens if you don’t have a rotor

[@musicviolamusician4392]

Literally a few days ago local play was working without any Wi-Fi connection. I was kinda amazed and didn’t think it was possible (then remembered the 3ds ds era of local play) Me and my brother played animal crossing, mario kart 8 and super Mario 3d world. All worked fine. I have an oled and he has a regular switch (both are modded) now I’m trying to fix this local play issue since this sucks not being able to play multiplayer.

[@angeldelacruz3351]

I literally thought it was only me it’s not letting me play animal crossing

[@fabsinsanitysderanged8625]

My issue is on my just dance 2019 it says that the ubisoft connect server won't connect I've tried reconnecting my router everything I've tried , uninstalling and installing the game again , I've tried making the account on my switch and then deleting the account on my phone and making a new one but I still get the message or server error when I try to access just dance unlimited free trial help

[@MrDarksword123]

It's been happening to me as well when I'm playing smash ultimate. I'll be in the middle of a match and then BAM server communication error. I just tried these steps so hopefully it works!

[@logan9ish]

Did it?

[@colorfulautumn1327]

Did it?

[@jackfostisbeast6152]

Wierd we all have the same issue rn

[@nicoleburns5535]

I was playing splatoon 3 and got orange screen of death I fixed that the fixed my problem with the sd card and I tried all these and it didn’t work but thank for the info

[@arnobsdr]

The 3rd option did the magic. Thanks

[@mrxbear9506]

My issue.. was that I didn't realize my switch was in local time, and the battlenet servers were checking against real time.. clock resync fixed it.

[@ธีรพัฒน์แสงสุวรรณ]

You 've saved me

[@BillyBob-im7og]

Holy shit it actually worked, maybe coincidence because I’ve tried connecting 20+ times but I went to setting and selected “the un sync time” the option to not have the clock refresh every know and then and it worked right after

[@BillyBob-im7og]

For mk8d

[@ylaito7634]

I can’t play any of the games I got from eshop just my physical ones 😭 it was working fine earlier idk why and my wifi is fine

This guy was showing how to turn off your switch 😂😂

[@jenniferabel2811]

--Except that my 9 and 11 year olds, who are just now breaking into the world of screens, actually learned something with that. They thought they were turning it off, when they were just putting it to sleep. And the DNS suggestion worked, so there's that.
