Even after several years of release, Battlefield 1 is not immune to the annoying errors. 34601 is one such error code that many Battlefield 1 players are still encountering when launching the game or during the middle of the match.
Battlefield 1 34601 error code fixes
Error code 34601 in Battlefield 1 is a network connectivity error, which means your network connection with the game servers has been disrupted. There are several reasons why this error may occur, including server maintenance, issues with your own internet connection, or conflicting software running in the background.
Fortunately, the error can be fixed, and you can get everything back on track by following these simple methods:
Check server status
Battlefield 1 servers sometimes encounter problems that affect connectivity. While server outages are rare, the game developers sometimes intentionally take them offline to introduce a new update. In such cases, you should verify the Battlefield 1 server status before trying any troubleshooting steps. I also recommend keeping an eye on the game's official Twitter handle to check whether an update is right around the corner.
Restart your WiFi router
If the game servers are online, I recommend restarting your internet router to fix any connectivity-related issues, including the Battlefield 134601 error code. To start off, unplug your router switch and keep it unplugged for about two minutes. After that, replug the router’s switch and relaunch Battlefield 1.

Use a VPN service
Sometimes, the way your internet service provider (ISP) connects you to the Battlefield 1 servers can cause connectivity problems and affect your gaming experience. To avoid this, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to change your route and communicate with the servers more smoothly. There are many VPN services you can choose from, but we suggest using Cloudfare’s Warp app for this purpose. It is free, easy to use, and does not take up much space on your device.
Contact Battlefield 1 support
If none of the above methods work, contacting Battlefield 1 support may be your only chance to fix the problem. The support team can check the log files to find out why your system is not connecting well with the game servers. To submit a support ticket, go to this link and sign in with your EA account.
