How to Fix The Cycle Frontier Error Code 4 on PC?

This error appears while they are trying to enter the game and appears as a message on the screen saying that a network failure has occurred. They are unable to log in and play the game, and the only thing available to do is to exit the game. This error has been only encountered on PC.

After a large number of affected players have reported that they are unable to play the game, we have decided to take a deeper look into this problem to see what causes it. Here’s a short list of all the possible reasons:

Now that you are aware of all the potential causes of this issue, here is a list of all the methods that you need in order to fix it:

1. Check if you are banned

The first thing you need to do when you encounter this issue is to check and found out if you got banned on your account. A lot of people are reporting that in most cases this issue is happening because you’ve got banned.

Even if you know you haven’t cheated and are sure that you didn’t defy the rules at all, you can still get banned randomly because of fake reports made by other players that you’ve encountered while playing. The ban system should be manual, meaning that the support team should check the case before banning you. But maybe the process was automatic and a bot banned you.

To check if you are banned, you need to get in contact with a Cycle Frontier moderator that has access to this information. You can do this from the official Discord server dedicated to The Cycle Frontier. Once you are inside this webpage and see the Accept invitation button, click on it to get inside the server. After you read the rules for the server and agree with them, you will be able to use the server in every available way. Now you should look for a moderator of the game and ask him if you are banned or not.

If you are banned, you should talk with the moderator to see what you can do. If you are permanently banned, try to see if you can make another account. But if you didn’t deserve to be banned, talk to the moderator to see if you can get your account back.

In case the moderator informs you that you didn’t get banned, you should ask him for suggestions.
