How to Fix Firewall Error in Gloria Victis

After years of being in early access on Steam, Gloria Victis lived to see a release of version 1.0. Unfortunately, the release was not without technical problems. Many players are struggling with an issue that shows Firewall Error and prevents them from entering the server. Below you will learn what causes this and how to fix it.

Gloria Victis - Firewall as server-side error

At the time of release of Gloria Victis version 1.0, an error began to appear, saying that the firewall was blocking access to the game. When it appears, you will be taken back to the main menu. According to information published by the developers, the message does not reflect reality and in fact the problem lies in a completely different thing. At this point, however, they have not been able to determine what is actually not working.

Reddit users have pointed out however, that the blocking message from the firewall usually appears when the server you are trying to access is full. Therefore, the simplest solution is to simply choose another one. Legacy Server is particularly recommended. You can also try waiting a while and reconnecting.

Of course, it may happen that the blocking message from the firewall is real and your computer is the source of the problem. In that case, you can take three actions. The first, is to simply disable the VPN. If that doesn't work you can also try changing the wi-fi network.

The third option is to make sure that all game files are downloaded correctly, and that antivirus has not blocked your access to the game. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the game in your Steam library and select "Properties".
2. Go to the "Local Files" tab and run the "veify integrity of game files" function.
3. When Steam completes the process, run the antivirus and make sure that the gv.exe file is not blocked. If it is, move it to the list of safe programs.
