The Sniper Elite 5 “You were removed from the game” error can be infuriating to see. This error often appears with code 12003 on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Needless to say, it is very frustrating to suddenly get kicked from a game. Here’s what it means and how to fix the Sniper Elite 5 “You were removed from the game” error.
How to fix the Sniper Elite 5 “You were removed from the game” error
To fix the Sniper Elite 5 “You were removed from the game” error, players should:
- Try connecting to a different game.
- It’s possible that the multiplayer game’s host kicked you from the game.
- If you have been kicked by a host, it’s best to just connect to a new game.
- Check your network latency.
- If you experience multiple removals, it may be worth checking to make sure your network latency is too high.
- Pause any downloads that could be hogging bandwidth and causing instability.
This error first appeared on Sniper Elite 4. Over on the game’s Steam page, a developer confirmed that the error message means that either the server admin kicked you from the game, you were voted out of the game by other players, or your latency was above the maximum allowed by the server. It’s likely to mean a similar cause in Sniper Elite 5.
If there’s nothing wrong with your connection and you’re continuing to experience issues, it may be worth reaching out to Rebellion Support for more advanced help.
At the time of writing, Sniper Elite 5 is just launching. Here’s hoping players’ experiences improve as we move away from release day.
