Title: Client cannot seem to connect
Post by: dacis2 on May 03, 2012, 06:38:49 AM
I have the latest client version and I can play with my friends using direct IP connections, but I cannot connect to the game server, nor can I use the Plugin Finder and so on. I've already given the program access through Windows Firewall, and I've done all the port forwarding (I can host for my friends). Any idea what's wrong?

What country are you in? Are you in a private residence? There may be a firewall that you aren't aware of.

Try clearing your internet cache?

I'm in Singapore and I'm in a private residence. Clearing my cache has had no effect.

I did a few more tests, the updater works, and the client can download missing card images, but it timeouts when trying to download serverlist.txt and pluginfinder.txt

I'm not sure if you were one of them, but 2 other people from singapore reported something similar. That country may have a government level firewall of some sort.

I doubt it's a firewall (unless it has really strange rules), it's probably some strangeness on my ISP's side. Your site loads extremely slowly when I don't use its proxy server, which I also encounter with certain other sites. Thanks anyway
