### **How to Fix the “Connection Timed Out” Error in Satisfactory**

If you’re getting a **connection timed-out** error when trying to join your **ChipHead Satisfactory server**, it means your PC wasn’t able to connect quickly enough - usually due to network performance or client-side loading speed.

Luckily, this can often be fixed by adjusting your **Network Quality** settings in-game.
