I'm getting the error: "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"/HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" in my client console!

Description of issue

This issue is typically caused by a client failing to connect to Central Servers, or Cloudflare.

Ensure your PC meets our minimum system requirements. Your PC specs should match or be more powerful than the current minimum specs on steam. Anything less powerful risks having issues occur simply due to your hardware not being able to keep up with SCP:SL. As well, please ensure you are on an up-to-date version of Windows 11 and other operating systems are not supported at this time.

Resolution

Disable VPN

  • Ensure you are not using a VPN while playing SCP:SL.

  • Some VPNs have been known to cause this issue, so disable any VPN services you might be using.

Restart your router

  • This error message usually means your IP address is blocked by cloudflare.
  • Try turning off your router for 5-10 minutes and turning it back on to get a new IP address
  • If that does not work, you may need to contact your ISP and request a new IP address from them.
