5. Update network card driver
6. Repair damaged or corrupted system files

1. Check the NBA 2K server status

The first thing to do when you see error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24 is to check the server status of NBA 2K, to see if the problem can be fixed by you.

To check NBA 2K’s server status, simply go here: https://www.nba2k.com/gamestatus

If NBA 2K’s server is down, then there’s not much you can do other than wait for it to be fixed, given that it’s a universal problem and all the other gamers are experiencing the same problem. If the NBA 2K server is still up and running, but error code 727e66ac persists in NBA 2K24, please move on to the other fixes below.

2. Revisit your network settings

If you’ve made sure that NBA 2K’s server is running just fine, but you’re still getting the error code 727e66ac, you may need to revisit your network settings, as it could be a network issue on your end.

Here is a list of tweaks that you can do with your router to improve your network connectivity, and thus reduce the chance of getting error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24. Check the following to see if you’ve done them all:

• Don’t use any VPN or proxy services: such services could be blocked by NBA 2K’s servers, and therefore increase the chance of network problems like error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24.
• Reduce the number of devices connected to the same router to ensure your main computer gets the most speed.
• Use a wired network connection (with an Ethernet cable) instead of Wi-Fi. If this is not an option, move your computer closer to the router.
• Play on your local server. If that’s not an option, choose one that is closest to you.
• Update your router firmware if you haven’t already.
• In your router settings, try to enable QoS to prioritize gaming traffic. If you’re not sure where to find it, please visit your router’s official website to find the manual or seek help from your ISP.
• Update the game, if you haven’t already.

If none of the above helps, and you’re still seeing the error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24, please move on.

3. Change the DNS server

The default DNS server appointed by the ISP (Internet service provider) could have problems like crowded caches and temporary server outages, which could cause network problems like error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24. To see if this is an issue for you, you can first flush the DNS, and then switch to a public DNS server.

To do so:

1. Press the Windows logo key and R on your keyboard to invoke the Run box.
2. Type cmd, then press Shift and Enter at the same time. If prompted for permission, click Yes.
   
3. Copy ipconfig /flushdns, and paste it in the pop-up window. Then press Enter.
   
4. Your DNS cache is successfully cleared.
   

Then switch to a public DNS server, and we recommend the Google DNS server as it’s fast and secure. Here’s how you can change the DNS server:

1. On your taskbar, right-click the network icon, then click Open Network & Internet settings.
   
2. Click Change adapter options.
   
3. Right-click the network you’re using, then click Properties.
   
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click Properties.
   
5. Select Use the following DNS server addresses, fill in the Google DNS server addresses as below, then click OK.
   
   Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
   Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4
   
   

Then see if the error code 727e66ac is still seen in NBA 2K24. If the problem remains, please move on.

4. Verify the integrity of the game files

Corrupted or missing files will also cause problems like error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24. To see if this is the case, you can verify your game files on:

• Epic Games Launcher
• Steam

4.1 Epic Games Launcher

To verify the game’s files on Epic Games Launcher:

1. On Epic Game Launcher, find NBA 2K24 in your Library. Click the three dots on the right side of the game line and select Manage.
   
2. Click Verify to start verifying the game files.
   
3. Wait for validation to complete. (It may take a while to verify all your files.)
4. When the validation is done, run your NBA 2K24 again to see if the error code 727e66ac remains.

4.2 Steam

1. Launch Steam.
2. In the LIBRARY, right-click on NBA 2K24 and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
   
   
3. Select the Installed Files tab and click on the Verified integrity of game files button.
   
   
4. Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.
5. Launch NBA 2K24 again to see if the error code 727e66ac persists. If so, please move on.

5. Update network card driver

As mentioned, the error code 727e66ac in NBA 2K24 is most likely an issue with the network connection. So if the above doesn’t help to fix the error, it’s possible that you have an outdated or incorrect network card drive, and you should update your drivers to see if it helps.

If you don’t have the time, patience or skills to update the driver manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to be troubled by the wrong driver you would be downloading, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 steps (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):

   Note: You can do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.
4. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

Launch NBA 2K24 again to see if the error code 727e66ac is still seen. If this fix doesn’t work for you, try the next fix, below.

6. Repair damaged or corrupted system files

If you are facing persistent issues with NBA2K24 and none of the previous solutions have proven effective, it’s possible that your corrupted system files are to blame. To rectify this, repairing the system files becomes crucial. The System File Checker (SFC) tool can assist you in this process. By executing the “sfc /scannow” command, you can initiate a scan that identifies problems and repairs missing or corrupted system files. However, it is important to note that the SFC tool primarily focuses on scanning major files and may overlook minor issues.

In situations where the SFC tool falls short, a more powerful and specialized Windows repair tool is recommended. Fortect is an automated Windows repair tool that excels in identifying problematic files and replacing malfunctioning ones. By scanning your PC comprehensively, Fortect can provide a more comprehensive and effective solution for repairing your Windows system.

1. Download and install Fortect.
2. Open Fortect. It will run a free scan of your PC and give you a detailed report of your PC status.
   
3. Once finished, you’ll see a report showing all the issues. To fix all the issues automatically, click Start Repair (You’ll need to purchase the full version. It comes with a 60-day Money-Back Guarantee so you can refund anytime if Fortect doesn’t fix your problem).
