Here’s a breakdown of what people know so far about the “Failed to Retrieve Server List” error in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, why it happens, and things you can try to fix or work around it.
🔍 Why this error appears
From community reports and news:
The game is region‑locked in many areas. If you’re trying from a country where the game has not been released, the launcher may refuse to fetch the server list.
Even in regions where the game is available, server overload is a big issue (lots of players, limited server capacity at launch). That can cause requests for server data to time out or fail.
Some players report that using a VPN set to a supported country helps. When the VPN is turned off, the error returns. That suggests the game launcher checks region via IP.
Another variation: Internet/WiFi/ISP‑related issues. Some users say switching to a mobile hotspot worked, implying their regular network might be blocking or misrouting traffic.

⚡ What you can try to fix or work around it
Here are fixes that people have had some success with. None are guaranteed, especially if the game is officially blocked in your country, but they’re worth trying:
Use a VPN
Pick a VPN server in a country where Star Resonance is known to be supported.
Keep the VPN ON when starting the game / fetching server list. Some say you can turn it off once fully in‑game or after choosing a character, but results vary.
Use a reliable, low‑latency VPN to minimize lag.
Try a different network
If you’re on WiFi, try switching to mobile data or a different network to see if it’s an ISP / router issue.
Possibly disable or reconfigure firewall or router settings if you can (e.g. open necessary ports, or allow game traffic).
Wait and try later
Server load may be high (especially at launch or after updates). Errors often resolve after peak times or after the devs scale up server capacity.
Check if updates or patches are required
Make sure your game is updated to the latest version. Sometimes server list protocols change and old clients get blocked.
Official support / announcements
Monitor the game’s official social media, Discord, or announcements for server status updates, region expansion info, planned fixes.
If possible, report the issue through their support channels (especially if the game is supposed to be available in your region) so the developers are aware.

✅ How to fix or bypass it (USA)
If you still want to play (even though it’s not officially released in the U.S. yet), here’s how others are doing it:
🔹 Option 1: Use a VPN (most effective)
Set your VPN to a country where the game is officially supported and servers are live. Japan,No, theSEA countries (like Singapore or the Philippines) work best.
Steps:
Download a VPN like ProtonVPN, NordVPN, ExitLag, or Mudfish.
Connect to a supported country (e.g. Japan).
Launch the game with the VPN still on.
Wait for the server list — it should now appear.
Many players recommend ExitLag or Mudfish for better ping with Asian servers.
🔹 As of October 2025, no confirmed date for a North American launch has been announced for Star Resonance.
Blue Protocol’s global rollout has been slower than expected, and Bandai Namco has focused mostly on Asia.
