Think of it like a phone call: You dial the number (connect to the server), someone says "Hello" (connection established), but then they immediately hang up (closed connection) before you can ask your question. The launcher is left confused and throws the error.
However, server load is only one piece of the puzzle. On the client side, the error is frequently symptomatic of local security interference. Albion Online’s launcher operates differently from standard application store downloads; it requires direct write access to the game directory and open network ports to function correctly.
