Possible Solutions to Error Code 2003 in Warhammer 40k Darktide

To fix Error Code 2003 in Darktide, your best option is to start small and work your way up to more advanced fixes. First, none of these fixes are guaranteed to work, and you are most likely disconnecting from server issues. If the servers are not experiencing similar server issues similar to issues during the Pre-Order Beta, we recommend trying to restart your game first. Following a fresh restart, the next fix you need to try is to restart your PC or console.

If restarting your game or system doesn't work, try unplugging the wires in the back of your router and leaving it off for around 30 seconds. Doing so will restart your router, which can sometimes be enough to fix Error code 2003. Another reported fix by several users for solving Error 2003 is to try running the game with a VPN like Surfshark active.

Beyond VPNs, another good option for potentially solving Error 2003 is ensuring all drivers are updated, including your graphics driver. The last option for fixing Error 2003 is reinstalling the game, which we recommend saving for when all other fixes fail to work in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
