Prerequisite: Checking Network Status and Windows Components
Before we start tweaking your computer’s settings, it is important that you make sure that your network is properly connected to the internet and there are no issues of connectivity. Furthermore, you should also make sure that components like Windows update are working properly. Here is a short checklist for you:
Solution 1: Adding Firewall Exception
Like mentioned before, Windows Firewall seems to block the internet connectivity of State of Decay.

Solution 2: Checking Time and Date
Local Time and Date on your computer play an important role in logging and communication of your system with the host computer. If your time is improperly set, there will be a mismatch in settings and a network connection will not be established. In this solution, we will navigate to the Time and Date settings and make sure that the time is set correctly.
Solution 3: Checking Teredo Adapter
State of Decay seems to use the Teredo adapter for communication with the host server.
