Players looking to try out the new XDefiant game from Ubisoft are being met with some frustrating errors that aren’t allowing them to connect to the servers. Here’s everything you need to know about the XDefiant Echo 02 error and how to fix it.
What is the XDefiant Echo 02 Error?
XDefiant Echo 02 error is a server connection issue that prevents the user from connecting to the Ubisoft servers. The error can show up when attempting to connect to the server after launching the game as well as while playing a game, resulting in a disconnect.
On April 18, Ubisoft tweeted that they are making server-side changes to help resolve issues with progression. Error codes ECHO-02 and ECHO-06 are still prevalent, but they are aware of the issue and likely working on a fix. The fix addresses issues with the players’ levels and loadouts not saving.
How to Fix the XDefiant Echo 02 Error
To fix the XDefiant Echo 02 error, retry the server connection and try playing from a different Ubisoft account. It’s an inconvenient solution, but the problem lies on Ubisoft’s side. Until they roll out a fix, which they will likely do sooner rather than later, there’s no surefire way to resolve the error. Switching accounts and retrying the connection is a way to get into the game and start playing eventually.
Here are some things that do not work to fix the XDefiant Echo 02 error:
- Reinstalling the game
- Restarting your computer
- Scanning the game install for error
- Restarting your router and internet
- Reinstalling the Ubisoft Connect client
- Using a VPN to connect
If the issue persists, we recommend visiting the Ubisoft XDefiant forums and heading into the Player Support section. There are some threads about ongoing issues and bugs with the game. It is a beta, after all, and issues like these are to be expected — providing feedback will help Ubisoft be aware of and resolve these issues.
