How to transfer closed beta progress into open beta

Sadly, you can’t. The developers have said that every test will bring a data wipe, so there’s nothing to transfer, really. The same will happen with the full game, so don’t expect anything to carry over – the beta is a way for you to try out the game, not gain a head start for release.

Uplay won’t download For Honor Beta

Some people are reporting being unable to download the beta using Uplay. They get an error message telling them to check their internet connection and whether they have enough storage space. If you’re experiencing this, and your net and HDD space are fine, you could try restarting Uplay then trying again (several times, if at first you don’t succeed).

Easy AntiCheat error for For Honor open beta

If you’re getting this error and can’t launch the game, you should try verifying local file integrity via Uplay. In most cases, this solves the problem. If you’re getting error code 10018, close the game, check if there are any stray processes still running, close them as well, then restart Uplay.

If you’re experiencing this problem, you could try restarting the game. If that doesn’t work, hop on to the official forum and report to this thread. Leave your username and platform in the post, and the support staff will unlock the options from their side. You might have to wait a while, though.

For Honor Process Running after you exiting

The process might keep running after you exit the game. You’ll know this is the case if it doesn’t let you start the game, claiming it’s already running. Use Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open task manager, then find the For Honor process. When you find it, right click it and choose End Task. You can use this method if the game freezes and starts not responding to commands.

For Honor Beta Crashes

Some people have reported the game crashing at various points. This is quite normal – it’s a beta version, after all. It’s not your fault, so there’s nothing you can do but restart the game and soldier on. There are some problems with Nvidia cards and Skylake integrated GPUs, but the dev team is investigating them.

Connection Error 0004000008 / 00020000106 / 7 -00000004 / 1088431700 / 3397432595 / 1694332663 / 2904484995 / 0006000043

Most players are reporting disconnecting from the game at the beginning or the end of a match. Chances are slim you’ll be booted in the middle of a fight. That said, all you can do is reconnect. You could also restart the game, if you want to be on the safe side.

We have a large guide describing how to improve network connectivity and changing NAt Strict to NAT Open stats in For Honor.

For Honor connectivity issues

If you’re having issues connecting with the game on PC, there are several things you could do.
  • Make exceptions for the game and Uplay in your firewall software.
  • Forward ports (TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 13005, 13200, 14000, 14001, 14008, 14020, 14021, 14022, 14023 and 14024; Inbound UDP: 3075). If you need help doing this, visit our guide to improve NAT Strict to NAT Open in For Honor.
  • Disable background applications.
If you’re having trouble on a console, there are also a couple of things you could try out:
  • Make sure you’re logged in to the same Uplay account you received the key to.
  • Make sure you have an IPv4 address or a hybrid. IPv6 only addresses will keep you from playing.
  • If you have Instant-On on your Xbox, it might prevent you from joining games after the console is awoken from sleep. Turn the option off.
  • Also on Xbox, go to Xbox Live Privacy -> Safety account settings -> set Sharing Content Privacy to everybody.

PC controller not working in For Honor

Certain players are experiencing issues with playing the game on PC with a controller. This usually happens when you use more than one peripheral (gamepads, wheels, joysticks). Just make sure you unplug everything except for the gamepad you’re going to use, and restart the game.

Party issues in For Honor

There have been reports of people playing in groups, where some of them would enter the game normally, while others would get stuck in matchmaking. There are several things you could do to improve your group experience:
  • Avoid mixed region groups – Although it’s possible, it’s not recommended to play with people from other regions at this point.
  • NAT Type issue – There can’t be more than one player with Strict NAT in a group.

NAT Type: Strict in For Honor

Only one player can have a strict NAT Type in a party. All others have to have Open NAT, or else you’ll be stuck in matchmaking forever. Sometimes you router may automatically switch to strict – if this happens, make sure you restart the router before attempting to play again.

Blank beta invite emails

Many players have received blank emails instead of the ones containing their access codes for the Beta. If you’re one of them, you might want to visit the key retrieval page. It will show you the codes associated with your account.

For Honor Fullscreen

Some PC players have had problems with the game minimizing after desktop notifications popped up. It wouldn’t maximize afterwards. You can’t force the game into fullscreen from the menu, but there is a way:
  • Go to C:\your-name\Documents\For Honor

    • For Honor Beta voice & audio issues

    A number of people have reported being unable to use voice chat in 1v1 duels. It works in all other modes. This is a known issue, and the team is working on fixing it as we speak.

    Others have had issues where part of a group can use it while others can’t. This has also been noted, and the devs are looking into it. If you mute another player via the social page, the pop-up will stay stuck to the screen. The only way to solve this is by restarting the game, so avoid muting people whenever possible.
