Error Message Ribera-1000B

Since the start of the Open Beta, new error messages and crashes have accumulated. The error codes Ribera-1000B and Oruro 00107 were particularly frequently reported errors.

Even without the help of Ubisoft, the reddit user throwaway9000n has found a way to eliminate these error messages on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

- First, make sure your PC or console has a fixed IP address.

- Then open the following ports in your router: UDP 3074-3083, TCP 14000, TCP 14008, TCP 14020-14024,

If this does not bring the desired solution, the problem can also be related to your antivirus program. In such a case, add the GRW.exe file from your Ghost Recon Wildlands installation directory as an exception to the antivirus program. Both possibilities are explained again in the following video.


Error Message Oruro 00107

You cannot do much with the error message Oruro 00107. This error occurs with all players alike and obviously has to do with maintenance. This means that the beta servers are always not available. So wait for it and try again at regular intervals until the maintenance work is finished.

Performance Problems and Low Frame Rates

PC players complain about the performance issues. Even with high end systems, the frame rate is often not exceeding 30 FPS.

DirectX 11 Error Message

Problems with Controllers and Mouse

Solution: An official solution for the problem is not yet available, but you can remove all peripherals except for keyboard and mouse from the PC and bypass this error.

PS4 Beta Keys Don't Work
