Animal Crossing Error Code 802
If you've downloaded Animal Crossing Pocket Camp around release, you may already be coming up against one or two error codes.
As with Nintendo's other mobile games, such as Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is only playable with an online connection, which means you might run into server errors and other connection-related problems.

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp error codes 802-7609, 802-4809, 802-4009 explained
If you're loading up the game, you may come up against several error codes - such as 802-7609, 802-4809 or 802-4009 - with the message 'A communication error has occurred. Please try again later.'
This is due to high traffic. Having just launched, the game is in high demand and inundated with people trying to connect a once, which is common for any new online game - just see the recent release of Call of Duty WW2.
Nintendo says 'the issue is still occurring intermittently' and that it is investigating (in the meantime, Nintendo has given everyone 20 free Leaf Tickets as an apology).
So if you see these particular error messages are nothing to do with your phone or connection - so be patient and attempt logging on later, when hopefully things will be a little smoothed out.
That said, if you can move to a more stable connection, such as Wifi, that could help, as well as other general troubleshooting issues, such as restarting your phone or app.
Other Animal Crossing Pocket Camp error codes explained
As well as general connectivity issues, there are a number of other error codes you may come across during the course of playing. Here are a handful we have encountered, and when:
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Error Codes
- 802-0809 (loading between areas)
- 802-0909 (Mailbox error)
- 802-1009 and 802-1109 (when trying to access friend lists)
- 802-1909 and 802-2509 (after levelling Friendship or receiving a gift)
Note the above aren't exclusive to those activities. In most instances, pressing Retry would result in the activity eventually loading. As with the general connectivity issues, be patient and try again, and if there is the option of a more stable connection, then that may help.
An important thing to note is the game will autosave everything you do, so if the game crashes, restarting the app won't result in the loss of any data or progress.
Another error code to look out for is one mostly seen before release, specifically during the game's soft launch in Australia, which was used to test the game before a wider rollout.
Some players encountered 802-5874, which appeared to be if players were either playing through an Android emulator or a rooted phone (which allows you to have greater access over the phone at a system level).
With the game now fully available, there's no reason for downloading an APK, so attempting to play on a regular, non-rooted phone should hopefully alleviate this problem.
A significant number of players who downloaded Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp this week have been met with a disappointing sight: an error code at start-up that prevents them from playing. These errors primarily occur at launch, but they can pop up even after you’ve successfully made it into the game and are in the middle of running errands for your demanding animal friends. The support code number you see may vary—we’ve received [802-0850], [802-2609], [802-4809], [802-7609] all within a span of minutes—but it’s usually accompanied by a vague warning stating “A communication error has occurred” alongside a “Retry” or “Return to title” button.
The errors appear to be caused by the sheer volume of players attempting to access the Pocket Camp servers. After the game launched in a number of countries outside of Australia, the player load became too great for the servers to handle. Nintendo has acknowledged these errors via the Japanese Pocket Camp site, its associated Twitter account, as well as a notice within the game itself (which you can only see if you’re actually able to get in). They promise they are working on a solution and will update the previously linked Twitter with any news. They are also sending 20 Leaf Tickets to the in-game mailbox of any players affected by these issues.
But what can you do in the meantime until the servers are officially repaired? Not much, unfortunately. The errors show up intermittently for most players, so the first step is to simply wait it out. If you receive the error, exit the game and try again in about an hour. If you notice a specific time frequently returns the error (many players have run into it at the start of a “new day,” 1AM EDT), aim to play later in the day when fewer players might be online. You can keep hitting the “Retry” button until you actually get into the game, but this isn’t always worth it: even if you slip through a barrage of errors, the game is often still dealing with server strain and the result is long load times anytime you have to access its online info—viewing your friends list, traveling between islands, selling items in your Market Box, and so on.
If you are able to get into the game briefly and want to reach Customer Support, open the “More” tab in the toolbar, select “Misc” and then “Customer Support.” From here, you can choose “Inquiries” to report an issue or “Feedback” if you just want to provide your opinions on the game or its features. The Support team will respond to “Inquiries” but will not answer “Feedback,” so choose the one that’s appropriate to your message.
Luckily, we know that when the servers are actually functioning properly, the game runs smoothly and load times are very short. The Australian soft launch was an example of how Pocket Camp should play once everything is ironed out, and it was almost entirely free of hiccups. That’s little comfort when you’re staring at an error screen, but since no one “moves out” of the game this time around, at least all of your animal campers will still be there once you can play again.
