Many Tower of Fantasy players report error 5 and cannot play the game. This error occurs on the login screen and can also come in the way of a Server Error message followed by the code ID:5/10004.

Fix# 1 – Brute Force

Fix# 2 – Check Your Internet Connection

To fix this, you should try to restart your internet modem, and check all your connection wires or your internet service provider, preferably after checking your connection’s speed and stability with a reputable internet speed tester.
Fix# 3 – Run It as An Administrator
It is possible that some firewall or other restriction is keeping you from logging in to Tower Of Fantasy. A surefire and easy way to fix this is running Tower Of Fantasy As An Administrator.
