How To Fix Tiny Tinas Wonderlands Connection Issues & Lagging On PC:
1. Check Server Status:
Before doing anything it’s important to ensure that the game’s servers are live and not currently experiencing any issues, as we mentioned above:
- The best way to check for known connection and SHiFT services issues is on the official Twitter page
- Or check out the 2K games Twitter page or Gearbox Official page
2. Check Internet Provider:
Ensure there are currently no known internet issues with your internet provider within your local area. This can usually be checked on your internet provider’s website.
3. Check Internet Connection:
- Go to Google and type Internet Speed test
- Run a google speed test on your connection to ensure you are getting the correct internet speed
4. Update Windows
If Windows has a pending update or updates available then this could cause issues. Plus it is important to make sure Windows is up to date to keep your system running smoothly:
- Right-click on the start menu > Settings
- Update and security > Check for updates
- Open Settings by right-clicking on the start menu
- Select Windows update and then “Check for updates“
5. Update Network Card Driver
Make sure you have the latest driver installed for your Network adapter / Device. You can do this either within Device manager as shown below, or for better results go to the manufacturer’s website for your Network adapter and download the latest driver. As Windows Device Manager will not always detect the most recent driver:
- Right-click the Windows start menu and go to Device Manager
- Expand the drop-down for Network drivers
- Right-click your network adapter and select Update
6. Use Cable & Plug Directly Into Router:
If you are using a wireless connection then plug directly into your router using a cable, if possible. Not only does it offer better speeds but it’s also more stable than wireless, which will help with those connection lost errors you are getting in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
7. Do Not Use Network Wall Plugs:
If you are using network wall plugs then these could be the cause of your issue, so don’t use them if possible.
8. Network Adapter Troubleshoot
Running a Windows troubleshoot on your network adapter will see if it can detect any known issues, so it’s definitely worth trying:
- Right-click on the Windows start menu > Settings
- Click on Update and security and then click on Troubleshoot from the left menu
- Click on Additional troubleshooters
- Run Internet Connections troubleshooter first and then run the Network Adapter troubleshooter
- Right-click on the start menu > Settings
- Go to System in the left menu and then Troubleshoot
- Click on “Other trouble-shooters”
- Select “Run” next to Internet Connections
- Do the same for “Network Adapter“
9. Restart Router:
Ensure no one else is currently using the internet within your household and try restarting the internet router, as it could be an issue with it. Doing a restart can sometimes work magic!
10. Check your firewall and security:
Just double-check that your firewall isn’t blocking access to Tinas Wonderlands and if it is allowed access. Also, your security software could be blocking the game causing it to fail to connect. So try temporarily disabling your security to see if it is the problem. Don’t forget that your PC or laptop will be unprotected while it is turned off.
11. Run as an admin
If using the Epic Games Launcher then simply right-click on the .exe and run as admin or you may get an “LS-0013” error code. If not do the following:
- Go to the where you installed the game
- Then right-click on the Wonderlands.exe and click on Properties
- Go to the Compatibility tab and then tick Run this program as an administrator > Apply > OK
- Now open the following directory: \OakGame\Binaries\Win64 (within the game folder)
- Now do the same as above > Press Apply and OK
We hope the above methods have helped fix the connection errors, lag, and stuttering you have been having in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on PC. When trying to connect online and play with your friends in online Multiplayer, if you are still having issues then you might need to reinstall the game.
