How To Fix Connection Timed Out In Satisfactory

Learn how to troubleshoot and fix the “Connection Timed Out” error in Satisfactory so you can get back to building without interruptions.

If you’re receiving a Connection Timed Out error while trying to join your Satisfactory server, it usually means your game client couldn’t connect quickly enough before being disconnected. This is often caused by slower initial load times, but it can be resolved with a quick settings adjustment.

Improve Network Quality in Satisfactory

Adjusting your Network Quality setting in the game can reduce loading issues and improve the stability of your connection when joining servers.

Follow the steps below to change it:

  1. Launch Satisfactory and go to the main menu.
  2. Click on Options.
  3. Navigate to the Gameplay tab.
  4. Locate the Network Quality setting and change it to Ultra.

This setting increases the amount of data your client exchanges with the server during connection, helping prevent timeout errors—especially on servers with large factories or a lot of activity.
