Troubleshooting: “Disconnected” Error & Server Issues
Many new players encounter a “Disconnected” error immediately after trying to enter the world with their character. Here’s how to resolve it:
- Primary Fix: The most common solution is to add the Dreadmyst game client (its .exe file) to the exceptions or allow list of your Windows Firewall and any other antivirus software you are running. This ensures your security programs aren’t blocking the connection.
- Simple Retry: If the firewall fix doesn’t work immediately, simply try logging in with your character again. Several players have reported that persistence pays off.
Note on “Server is Full” Messages: Due to overwhelming popularity, servers often hit their capacity. The developers have acknowledged this, stating that while the game world is stable, the authentication system is under immense strain with tens of thousands of registered players trying to connect. Server limits are temporarily in place while they work on architectural improvements. Your best course of action is to be patient and try again later, or seek updates and community help on the official Dreadmyst Discord server.
6 Essential Beginner Tips for Dreadmyst
1. Smart Stat Allocation: When spending your hard-earned Experience (Exp), don’t invest it all directly into skills. Also, upgrade your core Attributes. To know which attributes benefit your playstyle, hover your mouse cursor over a skill—its tooltip will show you which specific attributes enhance its power.
2. Save Your Gold: Make accumulating gold a priority. Once you reach the main city of St. Revere, you’ll be able to purchase powerful Blue-quality weapons and armor from vendors.
3. Find Your Class Trainer: Seek out the NPC trainer for your specific class in St. Revere to buy new spell and ability books. A good place to start looking is just north of the main trading square.
4. Manage Equipment Durability: Your gear will degrade as you fight. You can repair it at any merchant. Initiate a trade by saying, “I’d like to browse your goods,” and then use the “Repair” button in their shop interface.
5. Recover Sold Items: Accidentally sold a crucial item? Don’t panic! While at a vendor, look for a small arrow icon next to the “Repair” button. Clicking this will open a buyback tab where you can repurchase your recently sold items.
🏦 6. Use the Bank: You have a personal storage bank! Find the NPC named Harold . He is located in the northern part of St. Revere; head past the cemetery to find him and safely stash your extra loot.
