The "Awaiting Endpoint" error on Discord generally occurs due to connectivity issues between your client and Discord servers, especially relating to voice servers. Here are key steps to fix this issue:
- Check Discord Server Status: Confirm if Discord servers are operational by visiting the Discord Status page. If there's an outage, you will need to wait for Discord to resolve it.
- Restart Discord Application: Fully close Discord (including from the system tray) and reopen it to refresh the connection.
- Restart Router and Check Network: Power cycle your modem and router to clear any network glitches. Use a wired connection if possible for stability. Also, ensure your internet speed is stable.
- Change Discord Server Region:
- Go to Server Settings in Discord.
- Navigate to Voice & Video Settings.
- Change the server region to a different available region.
- Restart Discord and check if the error persists.
- Disable VPN or Proxy: If you are using a VPN or proxy, disable them temporarily as they may interfere with Discord's connectivity.
- Flush DNS and Reset Network Settings:
- On Windows, open Command Prompt as Administrator.
- Run the command:
ipconfig /flushdns - You may also reset TCP/IP with commands like
netsh int ip reset. - Restart your computer afterward.
- Clear Discord Cache or Reinstall Discord: Corrupt cache files or outdated app versions may cause this error. Clearing cache or reinstalling Discord can help.
- Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes re-authenticating can resolve lingering connection issues.
If these steps don't work, contacting Discord Support is advisable. These solutions address various underlying causes such as server outages, network problems, app issues, and region-specific server problems to fix the "Awaiting Endpoint" error comprehensively.
