Fixes For The First Descendant Error Code ME:0008
Fix 1: Try Troubleshooting The Router
As we have mentioned in the beginning, network issues are the primary reason for this error so to deal with the issue the first thing we suggest is to troubleshoot your router by trying temporary workarounds.
First, we suggest you to give your router and gaming device a quick restart, then check for the error. If the error persists then we suggest you to shut down your router and remove it from the power source, then let it rest for around ten minutes, and then restart the router. At last, check again if the error persists.
We also advise you to make sure that your router and gaming device are not too far from each other because if they are then you should consider bringing them near to each other and then check for the error again.
Fix 2: Give It A Multiple Try
Many players have shared that they just tapped the click again button and they were able to log in again so we suggest you give it a try. In case it doesn’t help then we advise you to try to matchmake again and again, at least do it for 5 to 6 times.
Fix 3: Change Preferred DNS
During our research, there was one player who shared that he tried changing his preferred DNS and it resolved the issue, so if you tried the above two suggestions but still received the error then we suggest you to switch over to any alternate DNS.
Below are guides to change the the preferred DNS:
Fix 4: Try Using A VPN
If you also tried using an alternate DNS but still received the error then we advise you to try using a VPN, in case you have any. In our research, there were a few users who were able to get rid of the error by using a VPN so you can also try the same for yourself.
In case you don’t have a VPN or for any other reasons you can’t use a VPN then we suggest you to connect your device over a mobile hotspot connection and then check if the error persists.
