Okay, so I ran into this annoying “error code 4e940a0d” while trying to play NBA 2K the other day. It was super frustrating! I just wanted to shoot some hoops, but the game wouldn’t let me connect.
First thing I did, like always, was just restart the game. You know, the classic “turn it off and on again” trick. Didn’t work this time, though.
Next, I thought maybe it was my internet connection. So I rebooted my router and my console (I’m on a PlayStation, by the way). Still nothing. The same error kept popping up.
Digging Deeper
Alright, time to get serious. I started searching online for “NBA 2K error code 4e940a0d”. Found a bunch of forum posts and articles. Some people said it had to do with corrupted save data, others were talking about server issues.
- I tried checking for game updates. Made sure I had the latest version installed. Nope, still no luck.
- Then, I started messing with my console’s network settings. I even tried changing my DNS settings to use Google’s public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Still didn’t fix it.
- Some folks online recommended clearing the game’s cache. I figured, why not? Went into my console’s storage settings and cleared the cache for NBA 2K. Still…that darn error!
The “Aha!” Moment
Finally, after like an hour of troubleshooting, I stumbled upon a suggestion that I hadn’t tried yet: check my 2K account status. I don’t mess the 2K account too much.
Then, I logged out of my 2K account in the game and logged back in. And guess what? IT WORKED! I was finally able to connect and play!
So, yeah, that was my experience with error code 4e940a0d. Turns out, it was a simple account issue for me. Just logging out and back in did the trick. If you’re running into this problem, definitely give that a try before you go down the rabbit hole of network troubleshooting!
