Whenever I try to get into the menu and whatever else is available I get this Connection Failed error. Only happens with the beta, 2042 and V work just fine. Anyone else getting this? kinda getting worried that I will not be able to play the beta at all. Thanks

I’m not sure what’s going on. Some people here mentioned that unplugging a USB drive they had connected fixed the issue for them, but I didn’t have any drive plugged in. So I figured—what if I tried the opposite? I plugged in a USB drive, and for some reason, it just worked.
It only works with the drive connected, though. After I got the firewall prompt and allowed it, I could get into the game. But when I restarted the game without the drive, I got the “connection failed” message again. Then I plugged the drive back in, hit “retry,” and it let me in.
I honestly have no idea why this works, but it’s definitely weird.
After trying multiple solutions from the forums and elsewhere, I can confirm it was a USB plugged into my PC that was giving me this error.
I had left it in after updating my BIOS a week or two ago and forgotten about it. Removed the USB and booted up the beta and it works.
I was getting the same error, and resolved it by removing the microSD card in my laptop's built-in card reader.
The solution for me and several others is removing a USB storage device.
