Causes of Animal Crossing New Horizons 2618-0516 error
There are a number of reasons why you may be getting 2618-0516 error when playing Animal Crossing. Check out the other possible causes below.
Console or game encounters a glitch.
Animal Crossing 2618-0516 error can occur sometimes even if there’s no permanent issue with your console or with your connection. I’ve seen this error once after my connection timed out due to a frozen router but after the connection was restored, everything works back to normal.
If you are positive that your internet connection had been stable when the error pops up, simply try to restart the console and see if that will work.
A system refresh is often enough to fix temporary bugs like this one.
Unresponsive or glitchy network equipment.
An issue with a modem or router may cause a connection glitch with connected devices. As mentioned above, my own instance of this error got resolved after my internet connection was restored when I power cycle the router.
So, it’s possible that the error you’re getting may be due to a temporary issue with your network devices (modem or router).
Console NAT type issue.
There are 5 NAT types in Nintendo Switch. Ideally, you should have NAT type A on your console although NAT type B is also fine. If you have NAT type C, D, or F, it may lead to connection issues when visiting islands of your friends.
Slow internet connection.
Some Nintendo Switch gamers encountered 1618-0521 or 2618-0516 error due to intermittent or slow internet connection. If you’re aware of any on-going issue with your internet connection, try to fix that first and see if that will fix the error.
