Error 41070: your character is blocked from loading
Tracked since 8 Sept 2026 · Last researched 8 Sept 2026
Problem
Error 41070 appears when your character or player-entity data does not finish loading, usually stopping you from entering the Persistent Universe.
CIG says these errors increased after the latest Alpha 4.10 patch. The error may clear by itself, but there is no proven fix or measured success rate for the current LIVE build.
Applies to Alpha 4.10.x LIVE · Current
Best current action
Wait 10–15 minutes before one retry
Stop retrying for 10–15 minutes, then try the Persistent Universe once. This is CIG's lowest-impact first step; it is not a guaranteed fix. Use the narrower local checks only when they match your setup, and keep Character Repair for later.
CIG says the servers may catch up and finish processing your character and account data. One older player regained entry after waiting, but their session remained unstable and no Alpha 4.10 LIVE success rate is available.
What to do
- Stop retrying for 10 to 15 minutes.
- After that wait, try entering the Persistent Universe again.
Another option
If a VPN is already active on your connection
Temporarily disconnect an active VPN
CIG says some VPN routes or bundled security features can interfere with character-data transfer. One older player reported that switching their VPN off cleared 41070, but other network cases behaved differently.
What to do
- If a VPN is active, disconnect it temporarily.
- Try entering the Persistent Universe again.
This test only applies while a VPN is active. This temporarily removes the VPN's privacy and routing. Reconnect it after the test if the change does not help.
If your security software supports per-application allowlists
Allowlist the launcher and game
CIG says antivirus, anti-malware, or anti-scripting tools can interrupt the data transfer behind this error. There is no independent exact-error result for this step.
What to do
- Keep antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-scripting protection enabled.
- Add RSI Launcher.exe and StarCitizen.exe to the relevant allowlists.
- Try entering the Persistent Universe again.
Use the allowlist controls provided by your security software. Do not disable your security protection entirely. Remove the exceptions after testing if you do not want to keep them.
Other options
Test another path for hybrid LTE or 5G
If you use a hybrid LTE or 5G connection and have a safe alternative
Two older 5G-related cases cleared after a routing change, but they conflict: one removed the cellular path while another added a VPN. Treat this only as a temporary connection test, not a general VPN or 5G fix.
Steps
- If the connection uses a hybrid LTE or 5G receiver, temporarily switch to its non-cellular path or another stable connection.
- Try entering the Persistent Universe again.
- Restore the original connection if the test does not help.
Only run this test when a safe alternative connection is available. A different path can change your privacy, routing, speed, or connectivity. Restore your normal connection when the test is over.
If lower-impact paths fail
Escalation
Escalate to Character Repair
CIG recommends Character Repair for persistent Error 41070, but it is not proven for the current LIVE build. One recent HOTFIX user regained entry and then could not play normally; another exact-error report found that repair did not help.
What to do
- Report the problem and the troubleshooting already attempted on Issue Council STARC-172407.
- On the RSI website, open Account Dashboard > Settings > Character Repair and start the repair.
- Do not log into the game for at least one hour after starting the repair.
- After the full hour, try entering the Persistent Universe again.
Try the 10–15 minute wait and retry before using this account-level step. Repair sends your character to its spawn point and moves equipped items to inventory. Items already missing stay lost, support cannot restore items lost through the tool, and logging in before the full hour can cause further account problems.
Boundaries and evidence
Use this page only when the displayed code is 41070. Error 41013 after reconnecting, Spawn Resolver 64006 or 64010, other login codes, and an unnamed infinite loading screen are separate incidents.
There is no independently confirmed Alpha 4.10 LIVE fix or success rate for Error 41070.
CIG has not named the exact affected hotfix or a fix date, and the dedicated troubleshooting article itself was last updated in August 2025.
Issue Council details were not publicly inspectable, and the available player reports are single, uncontrolled outcomes.
If the displayed code is 41013 after reconnecting, use the Error 41013 reconnect guidance instead.
