How to fix the error?
Here are three fixes that will help you get through this error:
Restart the device
A device restart is a fundamental troubleshooting step. It can effectively clear temporary glitches that might be causing Error Code 1. Perform a system restart and assess whether the issue persists.
Check the server status
Sometimes, Error Code 1 may occur due to server issues on the developer’s end. Check official BGMI channels or gaming forums for any announcements regarding server maintenance or outages. If the servers are down, you must wait until they’re back online to access the game.
Try again later
If the servers are unavailable, wait a while and attempt to log in again. As time passes, the number of users trying to access the servers usually decreases, which increases the likelihood of being able to successfully enter the game.
