You have to take some measures to solve this problem. In this post, we will tell you about some of the available solutions. If you are not sure about the exact cause of this problem, you can try these solutions one by one until you find the right one.

What is the cause of the MTG Arena data update error?

• MTG Arena (Magic: The Gathering Arena) displays an update error mainly due to incorrect proxy configuration. However, there are cases where restrictions imposed by your ISP or game servers can cause an update error. This error usually occurs when you start the game.
• If your Internet connection uses proxy settings, this may prevent the game from properly connecting to the servers and thus cause a data update error. In this case, disabling the proxy server can solve the problem (this is the solution reported by many affected users).
