Fix 1: Twitter

First, check out the Saints Row Twitter here to check if there are any reports of issues with their servers.

Check there are no known issues with the Xbox Live services here and no issues with the PlayStation services here. If there are then this could cause issues.

Fix 5: Connection type

If you are using a wireless connection then use a cable connection as it will be more stable. It will also offer better performance, helping reduce connection problems and lag.

Fix 8: PC Security

If you have a third-party security program installed on your Windows computer then try disabling this temporarily in case it’s causing the issue. Just keep in mind you won’t be protected while you do this.

If it turns out to be your security you will need to add Saints Row to the exceptions list.

Fix 9: Restart router

Restart your router as there could currently be an issue with your router that’s causing the connection problem. Just ensure no one else is currently using the internet as it will kick them offline until it restarts.
