On 2025-10-09, the launch of Blue Protocol Star Resonance faced a significant challenge as players reported the "failed to retrieve server list" error. This issue is suspected to be due to region-locking within the game.
Region Locking Complications
The error predominantly affects users attempting to access the game from unsupported regions. Blue Protocol Star Resonance appears to restrict access based on geographic location, preventing players outside certain regions from connecting to servers.
Players are advised to verify if their country is included in the official release regions to avoid this error. For those in unsupported areas, the temporary solution is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
VPN Solution and Challenges
Using a VPN can help bypass the region-locking by masking a player’s location, making it appear as if they are connecting from a valid region. However, this workaround may introduce significant lag, particularly if the game's servers are distant from the actual location of the player.
For players within supported regions experiencing the error, it is recommended to check VPN connections and ensure they are accessing from an approved location or to disable the VPN altogether.
As the situation continues, the expectation is for the game developers to address these issues, possibly by expanding availability to more regions in the future.
