Not Connecting (Error Code 102) Possible Fixes in Umamusume Pretty Derby

This issue has been predominantly noticed by the community to happen after your account has been linked.

However, some players have reported that they encountered this error code 102, which boots them out of the game. So, if you have not yet linked your account, perhaps hold off on doing so until this issue subsides.

Playing On Another Device

This problem seems to have been reported more by PC players, not mobile players. So, if you can download the application on your phone, then this issue might not be present. However, even if you do not have enough space on your phone to download the application, or simply do not want to, fear not.

There are some more fixes which you can try out for PC.

Check Server Status

Sometimes, this code might be shown while the servers are under maintenance. If this happens, the game will be inaccessible no matter what you try. Therefore, your best bet will be to wait it out. You can check the status of the game through the official X account of the game.

This error can even appear on mobile devices in this case. However, if no maintenance has been scheduled, you can proceed to the next steps.

Network Connection and Administrator

Since this is a network problem, the universal solution of either restarting your network or changing between Wi-fi and mobile data might fix it up. Although this isn’t guaranteed to be the cause of the problem.

If the game is still not responding, you can try running it as an administrator (on PC).

Repair Files Or Fresh Install

If you are playing on PC, then verifying file integrity through Steam is a valid tactic, as it can find and repair any broken files that might be causing such an issue. However, if that does not work (or if you are a mobile player), then consider performing a fresh install of the game.

Uninstall the game via the App Store/Play Store, and download it again from the same place. However, before uninstalling, you should ensure that your account is linked so that your progress is not lost. This is a last resort tactic, and should only be performed when you don’t find respite from any other way.

That was everything to know about the not connecting issue or error code 102 in Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
