MP Connecting to Server Problem

Post by polarstar_111 »

What happens is that when the game is launched in multiplayer, it often just says Connecting to Server indefinitely and never gets into the game. This doesn't happen in single player, and I have my firewall off.

normally this error occurs when the host has forgotten to forward port udp 8452 or has wrong firewall settings

Check your firewall / router so it doesn't block spring. Also check if you use a recent version of springlobby.

The bar at the top of an application displays the name of said application. Tasclient != springlobby

Guys, thanks for your input, but it turns out this has to do with a problem my internet has been having recently, but it seems to be alright now because I just had two awesome games.
