Hey Everyone,
I grouped your reports here. If you still see a connection error 852146987 today, please check if you have an active VPN service and turn it off.
Using a VPN service seems to have caused this error for other players.
If you don't use any VPN services, please follow the steps in this guide to troubleshoot connection issues by changing the DNS to Google's, changing the Wi-Fi channel, or using an Ethernet cable.
Let us know if you can connect to the game again afterward or if the error persists.
The error still persists even when changing the DNS IPV4 settings. I’ve used both. The only thing I haven’t done is use a hard wire. I cannot use the hardwire where I’m at unfortunately. The problem is the game was running just fine wirelessly. Even after the update. I beat the game after the update. It was only just less than a week ago this error code came up and I couldn’t join. So I have no clue what happened. Please help. Thanks for the response. I am on an Xbox series X.
