The main problem with games like PoGo and HPWU is the fact that we have to go outside home. This means that we cannot depend on trusty broadband connections. Instead, Harry Potter Wizards Unite players get “Error has occurred with wireless network” error on game screen. This error totally wipes the walking progress and disconnects you from server. Sometimes, the game may just not connect to server in first place or HPWU keeps disconnecting with Wireless Network error.
