Why Do Steam Error 4008s Appear?
Error 4008 is a connection error.
It takes place if the game servers essentially arent able to connect to the players unit.
In other words, it can occur almost any time.
Fix 1.
The way you do this will vary, depending on which VPN you use.
But here are some general steps:
Step 1:Open your VPN program.
Step 2:Click either the Pause or Disconnect buttons to disable your VPN connection.
Then try playing Dawntide again.

Firewalls often interfere with server connections.
Then try the game again, but remember to start your firewall later on.

Right-hit it, then click Manage, and then Uninstall.
Wait for the process to finish.
Click to install, and try playing the game again.
Fix 4.
Then select Run as administrator.
This will fire up the Command Prompt window.
Step 2:Enter the following into the Command Prompt: ipconfig /flush and hit Enter.
Then punch in netsh winsock reset and hit Enter again.
Finally, throw in exit and press Enter.
Step 3:Back in the search bar, bang out Control Panel and click to open it.
Step 5:Right-click your active internet connection, whether its Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and then click Properties.
Scroll down the list of items in the pop-up box to find Internet Protocol Version 4.
Click to select it, and then click Properties.
Then click OK and cycle your gear.
Try the game again.
