Periodical Connection Problems

Post by GenericUsername » 19 Mar 2018, 19:27

I've been having for some time a recurring problem of not being able to connect SPECIFICALLY to CM for some days, getting the "connection failed" screen. After some time passes it apparently solves itself. Have you had this sort of problem before? Any tips on how to solve it?

You may be using a VPN that is blocked by out server hosting service firewall.

nope, no VPNs here. As I said, I can play for some time, but once in a while these problems happen.

Heckenshutze suggested to willingly get banned and then unbanned to see if it fixes the problem, so there's that

It might be a problem with byond, try giving it more permissions through your firewall, I had some trouble with this a while ago and giving byond some additional access seemed to fix it.

Well, I tried to do everthing I could to revert this issue, but failed. Guess I'm gonna have to ask to be banned and unbanned like Hecken suggested. Hopefully this thread serves for any others that have the same issue

Ok, so here's something I discovered.
I've been having problems with my computer clock being one day and some hours off randomly. Funnily enough, I had the connection problems when I updated my clock.
Today, I found that the clock was again off, and, to my surprise, I could play again (currently I managed to log in)

It seems obvious it has something to do with the date/hour/minute off error
