The games from Rockstar Games, for the most part, attract with a great storyline and no less wonderful storyline. However, games are often buggy. Many people have problem 0x50000006 when launching Social Club, blocking the launch of the game. How do I fix it?
What the error does and possible reasons for its appearance
In most cases, error 0x50000006 prevents the user from accessing the Social Club service, that is, in other words, prohibits the user from being online. The problem affected not only PC users, but also PS4 and Xbox One. In some cases, 0x50000006 "kills" the entire online login interface.
Reasons for the error
Social Club is an online service, so you need to look for the causes of such a malfunction in the Internet connection. For example, the reasons might be as follows:
- Unstable connection.
- Problems with a dynamic IP address set directly by the ISP.
Fortunately, many are sharing solutions and actions for such a case. And here are some ways to fix error 0x50000006.
Checking the connection status
The very first thing to do when a problem appears is to go to the page for checking the status and quality of the connection from the Social Club (https://support.rockstargames.com/en/servicestatus) Using this page, you can check the quality and stability of the Internet connection in the moment of its launch. You can also check for interruptions or maintenance.
In the event that the servers of RDR 2 or another game are working stably, the problem may relate to conflicts between different types of Internet connection and the connection of several players.
And do not forget that the error 0x50000006 in some cases is associated with the connection speed. Therefore, it is important to define it as well. All you need to do is to run a special network test like https://speedtest.net. If the speed "sags" on a wireless connection, it makes sense to connect the device directly.
Restarting the router
Some users note that they managed to solve this problem by restarting their wi-fi router. However, in this case, there are some nuances. For example, simply unplugging the router from the outlet cannot solve the problem. Such a "hard" shutdown is capable of zeroing the settings to zero, which will eventually have to be restored. The following are best used to restart the router:
- Reboot through the power button. Use the button to turn off the router for 20-30 seconds. Then you need to click on it again.
- Command line. Everything is simple here - you need to execute the Win + R command, then enter telnet 192.168.1.1/ telnet 192.168.1.2. After that, you need to enter (the commands may be different) "# reboot" / "# restart" / "# reload"
Finally, it is worth checking for updates for the router model, network card and software.
