Check the official server notice<\/h3>\n<p>Confirm whether maintenance, instability or a reboot is in progress before changing Windows or router settings.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0f4c81; margin-top: 22px;\">2. Restart the client after recovery<\/h3>\n<p>The official September 20 maintenance notice specifically told players to close the Steam client and restart the game after maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0f4c81; margin-top: 22px;\">3. Test another online service<\/h3>\n<p>Open a normal website or another online game. If multiple services fail, troubleshoot the local network\/ISP rather than GunZ alone.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0f4c81; margin-top: 22px;\">4. Restart network equipment<\/h3>\n<p>If only your connection remains affected after the service is normal, restart the router\/modem and reconnect.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #0f4c81; margin-top: 22px;\">5. Review custom firewall\/router changes<\/h3>\n<p>GunZ&#8217;s September 14 notes warned that manually configured game-related ports may need updating. Avoid random port changes unless you previously customized them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #fff7df; border: 1px solid #f0cf72; padding: 14px 16px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 22px 0;\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Do not delete saves, disable security software permanently, open random ports, or reinstall large game files merely because a server-side incident is active.
