How to Fix DELTA-01 ‘XDefiant Servers Are Not Available’ Error?

The error ‘XDefiant servers are not available at this time. Please try again.’ usually occurs due to network issues. When the client fails to communicate with the server, it often throws an error message like this. This situation can result from problems with specific game files, such as proxy_v1.bin, as well as server issues, corrupted DNS settings, or a weak internet connection.

Before making changes to your device, you can try a quick fix to resolve this issue. Firstly, make sure that your internet connection is working properly.

You can try restarting the router or using a different internet connection, such as mobile data via hotspot, to rule out ISP issues.

After that, ensure that XDefiant servers are operational by checking the XDefiant social media page or the server status on the Ubisoft website. Once you have done this, you can move on to the following solutions.

1. Delete the proxy_v1.bin File

Proxy_v1.bin contains the network configuration related to the Proxy that might become corrupted, resulting in this issue. By deleting this file, all the network configurations for XDefiant will be set to default, which should resolve this error if it is occurring due to misconfigured network settings related to the Proxy.

1. Press the Win + E keys simultaneously to open Windows Explorer.
2. Go to Documents > My Games > and then open the XDefiant folder.
3. Here, locate and delete the proxy_v1.bin file.
   
4. Once done, launch the game, and the error should be resolved.

2. Use a VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an application that allows users to bypass regional restrictions. A VPN masks the IP address and reroutes the internet connection via different servers. This can help determine whether the problem is with your network connection or not. If you don’t encounter this error after connecting to a VPN, it is clear your network connection is a problem; you should contact your ISP to get your issue resolved.

There are tons of VPN applications available online; download any of them for free and connect to any region. We recommend connecting from the same region where you live so you can disconnect the VPN once you have connected to the right server. However, if you encounter the same error message, connect to a different region and then see if this worked or not. If this worked, the region you were trying to connect to may be under maintenance.

3. Flush DNS

Flushing the DNS can clear any outdated or corrupted DNS data that might be affecting the connectivity issues. This will force the system to request the DNS information from the ISP so that your device can accurately translate domain names for the game servers.

1. Press the Win key and type Command Prompt.
2. Right-click the Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
3. Once you are in admin mode, run the following commands to flush the DNS.

   ipconfig /flushdns

   

4. Once the DNS has been flushed, see if the error is resolved.

4. Change DNS Servers

Misconfigured DNS settings can also lead to connectivity issues. DNS, or Domain Name System, is an essential process that converts the Domain Names for web and game servers into IP addresses to connect to the server. If the DNS is down or not working properly, you could encounter this error. Therefore, change the DNS server to Google DNS to get this error fixed.

Google DNS is more reliable and secure than other DNS servers. Therefore, follow the steps to use Google DNS.

1. Press the Win key and type Control Panel.
2. Hit Enter to open the Control Panel. Then, navigate to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
3. Click Change Adapter Settings mentioned in the top left pane.
4. Here, right-click the network adapter and select Properties.
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
6. Then, select Use the following DNS server addresses and type the following Google DNS addresses:
   Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
   Alternative DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
7. Once done, click Apply and click OK for the changes to take effect.
8. Once done, verify if the issue is fixed or not.

If the issue is still not fixed, simply wait for the developers to fix it. In the meantime, you can reinstall the game to ensure whether the issue is from the server side or not.

Since we have tried everything, including connecting to a VPN, the game servers are probably the root cause of this issue. Still, you can try other ways to ensure the issue is not from your side, like resetting the network settings or using mobile data via hotspot, as suggested at the beginning of this guide.
