However, in case you’ve just confirmed that the problem is not widespread seems to only occur for you, there’s a high chance that one of the fixes below should allow you to fix the problem. Note: In case the investigations you just performed did reveal a server issue that is beyond your control, there are no available repair strategies other than waiting for the problem to be fixed by Blizzard’s devs. If you uncover recent reports by other users struggling with the same LC-202 error, you should also take a look at the two official accounts where Blizzard typically posts updates related to game issues – and a look at the recent posts and see if the if there’s an official announcement related to this error code.

If you suspect this might be the underlying cause of the problem, you should use services like DownDetector or Outage.report to see if other users in your area are facing the same error code as you. In the past, people have dealt with the LC-202 Error in situations where Overwatch game servers in their area were affected by an outage period. Checking for a Server issueīefore you move towards trying to fix a local issue, you should start by troubleshooting for a server problem to make sure that the problem is not beyond your control. Some affected users have confirmed that this operation finally allowed them to connect to online games without seeing the same error code. In the event that you’re seeing the error on console and none of the fixes end up working for you, you should attempt to reinstall the game along with every add-on and update. In this case, you should be able to fix the problem either by whitelisting the game + game launcher () in your AV settings or by uninstalling the overprotective 3rd party suite. In case you’re using an overprotective Antivirus suite, you should also investigate to see if the problem occurs due to the fact that the game is not allowed to communicate with the game server due to a false positive. But keep in mind the exact steps of doing this will be different depending on if you’re encountering the problem on a console (PS4 or Xbox One) or PC.
In some cases, a DNS (Domain Name System) inconsistency can also be responsible for the apparition of the LC-202 Error Code. In this case, all you need to do is make the switch to Google’s public DNS (either IPV4 or IPV6). But if you’re using a newer router that supports UPnP, all you need to do is enable this option in the Settings menu. If you’re using an older router, you might need to forward the ports used by Overwatch manually in order to fix the problem. However, chances are you might actually be dealing with a NAT (Network address translation) issue instead. In case your investigations reveal that the problem is only restricted to your current configuration, your first troubleshooting attempt should be to either restart or reset your router in order to clear any TCP / IP inconsistency that might facilitate this error.
