208 is a communication issue , the launcher logs will show where it is failing to communicate
reboot the router/modem and remove and re-add exceptions for launcher.exe to your antivirus and firewall

oh. Thank you for the explanation. I might know what is causing it. I downloaded the launcher at school :/ When I get home the issue might go away. If not, I will post an update. Besides, there is no way I can reboot the school's router without getting backlash from everyone.

Figured out the issue. It was due to my school's internet. No need for an explanation. I let it download overnight and when I opened up my computer at school again to check the progress I got a different error. (somewhat forgot what it was. Seems like I gotta download the entire thing during the weekend if I have any hopes of playing ;-;

What does "Unable to retrieve patch data. Please check network connection. (206)" mean?
I have already check my network, I can't unplug router, because we have fibre. And I uninstalled and reinstalled the "game".
