Key notes
The Discord’sTemporary Network Erroris encountered when accessing the web version or the installed app. It appeared only recently and affected users worldwide, but the servers were back up and running quickly.
Though Discord has acknowledged the problem, we tried to understand more about it and discovered a few quick solutions that will help if the DiscordTemporary Network Errorappears again on a PC, website, or mobile device.
What is a Temporary Network Error?
The error message highlights a server outage at Discord’s end, which prevents users from accessing their accounts. Based on reports, it’s only a temporary problem that was resolved on its own the last time.
But there is a likelihood of the underlying cause being at your end. For instance, issues with the network or corrupt data can interrupt the connection or make yourDiscord updates excruciatingly long.
How do I fix the Temporary Network Error on Discord?
Before we start with the slightly complex changes, try these quick ones first
If none work, move to the fixes listed next.
1. Install Discord via Epic Games
2. Install Discord Canary
Many affected by the DiscordTemporary Network Erroron the PC found that it only affected the normal build, while Discord Canary worked fine. The latter is the testing program, which receives updates before the normal builds. Subsequently, it’s less stable.
So, go toDiscord’s official websiteand downloadDiscord Canary. Or, if the Canary version feels unstable, you can also tryDiscord PTB (Public Test Build). It, too, is used for testing but is slightly more stable.
3. Clear the browser cache and cookies
4. Change the DNS
You don’t necessarily have to choose Google’s DNS, but can set thefastest DNS server in your regionto fix theTemporary Network Erroron the Discord app or website. This also helps withDiscord Error 1105.
5. Use a VPN
When nothing else works, the last method is to use areliable VPN solution. One VPN option we always mention isExpressVPNbecause it will reroute your connection through another server and get Discord running if the error is limited to your region.
It also has increased speed scores so that when you’re using it, it won’t interfere with your online experience at all.
Remember, even after fixing Discord’sTemporary Network Error, there’s no guarantee that it won’t reappear since the problem mostly lies on the server’s side. But one of these solutions should help almost every time.
