Error code 6 in State of Decay 2

On the licensed game State of Decay 2, an error code 6 constantly crashes. At the same time, there is enough disk space, and the installation itself was carried out correctly. Much the same thing happens when you try to join someone online. The window with the connection hangs for a long time and then a message appears about the specified error. In State of Decay 2, “Error Code 6” overwhelmingly means a connection error. The main problem is the following – without a connection, the multiplayer game simply does not work. In addition, outdated video drivers are another common cause. Users have found several effective solutions to this problem, and in 95% of cases, one way or another helps.

Solution # 1

Need to check if a firewall is blocking the game, outgoing connections are allowed for a normal connection to the video game servers? In Windows, the firewall protects the computer, it is he who controls the outgoing / incoming traffic between the network and the user’s computer. If the firewall is disabled, network traffic through the PC passes uncontrolled. When an error code 6 occurs in State of Decay, 90% of the reason is in the firewall. This game is released by Microsoft, so the client strongly requires that the firewall be turned on for a normal network connection with the host. To enable it, you can use the presented method.

• Panel / Start.
• Write (copy) in the system search bar cmd. Click OK.
• Next, on the command line, enter:
• Hit Enter.

In the plate that opens, look at the line “Firewall Policy”. Typically, the default should be the following: BlockInbound, AllowOutbound. When the second word is set, this is actually the reason for the error under code 6. It is solved as follows:

• In the same window (ie “Command line”) enter the following command:
• And again Enter.

Restart your computer and start the game. If this option did not solve the problem, see further.

Solution # 4

Some users have solved the problem by synchronizing Windows time directly with the Windows server. In fact, time synchronization is quite an important thing, since update services do not work without the correct time. Moreover, some sites, applications and messengers also do not function. An example of how to implement synchronization in Windows 7 and 8.

• Go to “Start” / “Control Panel” and in the corner on the right, find the item “View”.
• Then change the value of “Small icons”. Then the “Date and Time” section.
• Select the following from the submenu:
• Then in the window go to “Internet Time”, where all information on synchronization will be provided, as well as the name of the server (if enabled).
• To change, click “Change parameters …”.
• In the configuration parameters of the Internet time, there should be a checkbox on “Synchronize …”. Choose one of the servers or enter your own. The official server list is here: http://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru/kb/262680

  … Select “Update Now” and “OK”. If synchronization is successful, a notification will also appear in this window.

This will allow you to set the date / time on your PC automatically. After all the procedures, start the game.
