Splatoon 3 Splatfest Communication Errors

Splatfest 3 players report game-ruining communication errors that disconnect them from their games during this weekend’s Splatfest.

Reports are flooding in all over Twitter, complaining about the title’s stability. And right now, with every game counting towards your team’s progress, it’s easy to understand player frustration.

What’s particularly annoying is when Splatoon decides that the disconnection is the players’ fault, and subsequently bans them from playing online for a while.

And those players that restart their games in an effort to rid themselves of issues must then rewatch the opening news segment, which can’t be skipped while Splatfests are live.

Of course, Deep Cut’s news show can be handy to see who is winning in Splatoon 3’s Splatfest right now, but it’s not so fun to watch several times a day.

Here are all the ways that can fix the Communications Error Occurred issues in Splatoon 3!

We can only hope that Nintendo heeds player complaints and fixes the game’s servers in the near future. Although we’ve noticed a fair amount of issues in Splatoon 3 during regular online matches, this weekend’s Splatfest changes up matchmaking in a big way and connections seem worse than ever.
