How to Fix the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre Game Network Error” Issue?
Restart Your Device and Relauch the Game
If the connection is temporarily interrupted, restarting your device and relaunching the game may re-establish it again.
- Close the game (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and turn off your device (PC/Console) as well.
- Along with this, also switch off your router and ON after 2 to 3 minutes.
- Connect your device to your internet and try launching the game on your device.
- See if the connection has been established again or if you are still getting the “Network error: Your network connection has been lost” message.
Troubleshoot Internet-Related Issues
To run the game and its all features smoothly, you must have stable and reliable internet. Unstable/slow/weak internet may pause the connectivity with the game server, and hence the “Network error: Your network connection has been lost” error message may appear.
- Firstly, test the Speed of your Internet. This is necessary to have speedy internet so that the game can run properly.
- Weak internet can be a connectivity issue. So, call your ISP and ask them to fix the problem so that the speed can be regained. Alternatively, upgrade to a better plan.
- Use alternate internet options. (If possible or if you have any.)
- Soft reset your router by pressing the power button on your router/Modem. Now, reconnect your device to your internet and relaunch the game.
- As the next move, you can perform a power cycle on your router/modem: first of all, turn off your router and disconnect it from all the connected cables and wires, wait a few minutes (3 to 5), and power it on again.
Check the Game’s Server Health
The game servers should be up and running to work all the features in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game.
If the servers are overloaded or any maintenance work is going on, some features may not work properly and lead to an error message like “Network error: Your network connection has been lost”.
So, verify the server’s health of the game by visiting the Texas Chain Saw’s official social media channels.

Clear your Device’s or Console’s Cache

PlayStation 5 users: Go to Settings -> System -> Storage -> Application saved data -> Clear saved data.

DIsbale Antivirus and VPN
If you are using a VPN or antivirus software, disable them. A VPN software can create region restrictions and antivirus software can block certain game files.
So, if you are getting the “Network error: Your network connection has been lost” error message, and you have either of these two software, temporarily disable it, and after that, launch the game again.
Allow game through the firewall (WInodws Users)

- Click on “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.”
- Look for “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” and check the boxes to allow the game through the firewall for both private and public networks.
- Save change and restart your PC.
Note: Exact steps may vary according to your firewall software.
Update/Reinstall the Game
If you are facing a network connection error with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, uninstall and reinstall the game.
Might be the older files are preventing the game from connecting to the game server. This should solve the problem.
Doing so also updates the game to its current version.
New patch notes are released to fix the previous bugs and errors. So if the network error is appearing due to an older version of the game, updating or reinstalling the game can resolve it.
