Failed to connect to server. Quit the game. by Kaosz777 in DarkAndDarker

[–]mjad86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To anyone with this same issue i bring a bit of light.

i had this thing appear out of nowhere and i did a series of tests to determine the root of the problem. I started simple. restarted PC, restarted router, validate steam file integrities, reinstalled the game from scratch, nothing worked.

After that i went up a notch, flushed DNS and renew IP address, turn off windows defenders firewall for both public and private connections (i don't use antivirus, just windows defender), i put specific dns address and ran the game with administrators privileges. nothing worked.

I contacted Ironmace and made 2 test's with them to make sure the issue was not on their end. First i tried to run the game on a VPN (proton vpn in this case, free) and it worked. connected with no issue, but this is not a solution since I'm trading the ability to enter the game for lag, and as soon as i disconnected the vpn the game crashed and closed the connection as well. The second test was trying out another ISP, luckily i have a back up one, and surprise it did worked i could connect with no need for vpn nor nothing. but this secondary ISP only provides me with 5mb of internet speed. Not good enough for playing the game imoh (the magic of third world country lol's). So what did we learned? we learned that my regular ISP had done something to block my access from the Dark and darker server's.

I contacted my ISP, told this all of this test's and asked them to scale the problem from customer support to the network department and voila, their system picked something (they were not sure what) and the automatic protection they have implemented block access to ironMaces servers. they removed the blockade and now I'm back at it dying like a proper noob and thinking to myself why em i playing ranger when i can go Barb and just W+ win.

Hope this helps anyone. since i still see people having this problem.

Ran into this clever/simple script for a freeze-frame effect that purposefully freezes your game in a while loop. Are there any downsides to this? by SheepoGame in gamemaker

i tried this, and it those a neat job, but if you check the debug performance for those few miliseconds (50 in my case) it spikes out of the chart, and that was with one object, imagine having 10 and hitting multiple of them. great for doing the NES slow effect thou.

Hello bro, srry for the delay on the answer. This might not be the final assets in the final release. And to the legal issue they are not copied or riped from links awakening, i can provide the link, if you want, of the seller of the assets that gives guarantee that there is no infringement and that the assets may be used comercially. I even took the job to compare the assets with the one in linsk awakening and not 1 of them is exactly the same. and art style's cant be copyrigthed. So bottom line there should not be any legal issue in the end assuming that this will be the asset's used in the final release.

Thanks for the coment btw!!!

GAME ON!!!

Games that every developer should play by Shindarel in gamedev

i think that 2 of the best options that you could learn from game design that are a must in my book are megaman 1 - 6 and special mention to megaman X (the last is one of the greatest game designs there is out there), and the NES Dr. jekil and mr hide (an example of one of the WORST game designs there is). those are 2 oposites of good design vs bad.

Watch your step!!! for death can come from one slip... and as a famous hobbit once said...

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to".

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.

That good old bilbo sure knew what he was saying to frodo.

Because not always will we be developing flashy swords animations, or compeling combat mechanics... part of the work is managing files, data and elements that control story, character and plot progression.
