ARC Raiders Error ARMR0002: Possible reasons and fixes

ARC Raiders has finally launched, and while the early reception is positive and the player count seems healthy as well, not everyone is having a smooth experience. Some players have reported receiving an Error Code ARMR0002 message, which prevents them from playing the game. Interestingly, this error was also seen during the playtests and has not been resolved yet.

On that note, here's how to possibly resolve the ARMR0002 error in ARC Raiders.

How to potentially fix ARC Raiders Error ARMR0002

The ARMR0002 error is related to matchmaking and connectivity issues. It usually appears when the game fails to connect to game servers. This can happen due to various reasons, such as high server load or corrupted game files.

Here are some workarounds that might fix the problem:

Restart your PC

A simple restart can sometimes solve connection or cache issues that might have been interfering with matchmaking. Restart your computer and launch the game with Administrator access to see if the error goes away.

Reset your internet router

Resetting the router or switching to a wired connection can help stabilize the connection and potentially solve the ARMR0002 error. To do so, turn off the router for 60 seconds and then turn it back on. Wait for the connection to fully restore and launch the game. You can also restart your router by going to one of the following addresses through a web browser:

• 192.168.0.1
• 192.168.1.1

Do note that the steps to reset and restart your connection vary depending on the brand of the router. Refer to the router brand's official website to find the correct steps.

Change your DNS settings

One of the most effective ways to improve internet connectivity is by changing your DNS settings. Here's how to switch to the Google Public DNS servers:

• Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
• Click on your connection, such as Ethernet, and go to its Properties.
• Double-click on the TCP/IPv4 option.
• Paste the following DNS server addresses: 8.8.8.8 as the preferred and 8.8.4.4 as the alternate DNS server.
• Apply the settings and restart your computer.
