How to fix problems with Bongo Cat
Start with the outage graph above. Game outages split cleanly in two: the game will not start, or the game runs but the online part does not.
- Check whether Bongo Cat starts at all, or only fails to connect
- Look at the platform status as well as the game itself
- Restart Bongo Cat completely rather than returning to the menu
- Verify or repair the game files if your platform offers it
- Check for an update that has not applied
- Restart your device - it clears more temporary faults than it has any right to
Frequently asked questions about Bongo Cat
Will I lose progress if Bongo Cat goes down mid-session?
Progress saved on the server is safe; anything since your last checkpoint may not be. Games that save locally are usually unaffected entirely.
Am I banned, or is it an outage?
A ban gives you a message that says so. An outage gives you timeouts and connection errors, and other players are reporting the same thing.
How do I know if Bongo Cat is down for everyone?
Look at the outage graph above. A sudden spike in reports means the problem is on the Bongo Cat side and there is nothing to fix at your end. A flat graph points at something local - your connection, your device, or your account.
Bongo Cat is down. What can I actually do?
When the reports are widespread, waiting is the honest answer - the game is being restored by people who already know about it. Before you settle in, it is worth checking your internet connection and reloading Bongo Cat once, because that rules out the handful of causes that look identical from your side.
Why is Bongo Cat working for other people but not for me?
Outages are often partial. They can hit one region, one platform, or one group of accounts while everything else carries on. Your own connection, an old app version or a cached login can also produce a problem only you can see.
