Thanks for the report! When you say you can't join single player worlds - does this happen even if you're trying to play "solo-offline" or just when you are solo-hosting the server for your friends to join?

vital condor
#

I can play single player now

#

Just cant join servers

vital condor
#

So i kept reopening it tried again and again and again there nothing comes up that tells me what the problem is also tried what nitrado gabriela gave me didnt work

jolly shuttle
#

I see, so its the online connection to your own server or any other servers that doesn't work.

There are currently several connection problems, we compiled all the solutions we currently know here:
https://playwindrose.com/faq

I suggest checking this list and trying those methods. It will be faster than me asking you to try them one by one.

Please, open your Windows Command Prompt and use this command:
telnet windrose.support 3478

What does it show?

#

Just browing the bugs and tried the telnet myself and does not connect.

rapid rose
#

im having a very similar issue to OP, and the command given by Cubert isnt even valid for me to try

sick anvil
#

windows 11 does not have telnet enabled by default.

#

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:TelnetClient

rapid rose
#

typical microsoft

sick anvil
#

run cmd as admin then run the dism.

rapid rose
#

running the command and it says could not open connection to the host, connect failed

#

verified game files, deleted and remade new solo/offline world and the game is still crashing while loading into the solo world

I have the same issue, but I have windows 10

# vital condor not valid

if telnet doesn't work, run cmd as an administrator and use this command first:
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:TelnetClient

it will enable your telnet, then you can run telnet

rapid rose
#

i did both of those and it says
"Connecting to windrose.support. . . Could not open connection to the host, on port 3478: Connect failed"

vital condor
#

now im having server not found issues

#

...

sick anvil
#

To make sure it not windows i have also tried form my linux box

its weird yesterday and the day the game released it was all working fine and now its not

rapid rose
#

and why is it only happening now, when ive been playing for 20 hours without any issue? only after the most recent update

vital condor
#

now ive lost all progress on the server and cant play with friends

sick anvil
#

@jolly shuttle doing some TCPDUMP i can see the packets leaving the network, by no responce from yoour hosts.. you sure your host isnt running some DDoS tyep protection ?

sick anvil
#

ALSO if your trying to "telnet" to STUN, STUN is UDP traffic not TCP. to Telenet will not responde anyway.

# vital condor vpn doesnt work tried my vpn

Then its one of the more difficult issues with ISP. If VPN or similar services don't help, we can't really do much right now. All we can suggest is contacting your ISP and requesting to remove our servers from the blacklist. There is an instruction on how to do it in FAQ.
Other than that - we're working on alternative ways for online connections for one of the next game updates.

rapid rose
#

but why is it only an issue now? after playing for 20 hours...and then this update makes it so I cannot even play solo/offline

i got this caution 💀

jolly shuttle
#

maybe I got the wrong link

#

No, it seems to be the link. Its not our official tool - just something other players reported to work for them

#

generally it just means "Try using different VPN services"

vital condor
#

especially after all the progress i just lost

jolly shuttle

vital condor
#

yes sir

jolly shuttle
#

We'll add it to the list. No idea if they even respond to us tho. You can also contact them and request to unblock our servers, since they are preventing your internet access for no apparent reason except "suspicion".

jolly shuttle
#

We currently have EU, RU and KR servers. Different ISPs for some reason mark different servers as malicious. We can understand why it happens for RU servers for example, but there is a lot of cases when even EU and KR ones get blocked. We're trying to find out what is the problem, but it takes time

vital condor
#

give or take rough estimate how long you reckon it would take for this problem to get solved?

jolly shuttle
#

We're working on the alternative connection way right now (which doesn't require any of our servers to work at all), but I can't promise anything specific unfortunately. This is our highest priority issue, and it for sure will be in one of the nearest patches, so I hope its a matter of days, not weeks

vital condor
#

port 3478 is closed on my end so isp blocked

We'll try to look into your case more, but we're going to need your logs and a save:

hi my server gportal crash full impossible connect

jolly shuttle
#

Yes, thats the logs folder. You need to make a an archive of it (winrar or 7z) and send it here.
And do the same with the other 2 folders I mentioned (server logs and SaveProfiles)

vital condor
#

says no file

#

no items match my search what i sent before

vital condor

@jolly shuttle

jolly shuttle

For saves:
C:\Users\ YOUR USERNAME ON THE PC \AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

For server logs:
To get there, open Steam, find Windrose in your library, right-click it, then go to Manage → Browse local files. From there, archive the files in the Logs folder and share them with us.

#

You need to add the folder to a zip archive, so it becomes 1 file - and send it here

vital condor
#

hold on

vital condor
#

file type not supported

#

cant send it here

#

jolly shuttle
vital condor

jolly shuttle
vital condor
jolly shuttle
#

Right click on the folder "logs" and choose "add to archive logs.rar" (or the similar thing for 7z)
Do the same with SaveProfiles folder

vital condor
#

@noble skiff

#

@jolly shuttle

#

theres 2 options its add to archives or add to logs.rar

jolly shuttle
#

add to logs.rar

vital condor
#

i cant even use this app either wtf😆

jolly shuttle
#

You need to close the game and all the notepads, if you have any files from there opened

jolly shuttle
#

Do the same with SaveProfiles folder

#

then send both .rar files here.

vital condor
#

is that it?

#

@jolly shuttle

jolly shuttle
#

Yes, thank you

#

We'll look into your case, but for now I don't have estimates on how long it will take.

vital condor
#

thx hopefully this helps you guys out

#

i really want to play this game

crimson stratus
#

I'm having the same issue. Go to load up in solo/offline. once the loading screen appears it acts like its loading and then just sends me straight back to the desktop. NO errors shown. I cannot select the Online world i've been playing on with friends. I've got the SaveProfile compressed to a zip folder, ready to send. I do NOT have any log files to send tho.

I didnt want ya to feel alone with this issue! 😂

vital condor
#

now my friend cant access his server

#

it does thr same for him to now XD

crimson stratus
# vital condor we have to wait till a hotfix if they fix the issue

I may have jumped ship too soon. I verified my files and steam did report corrupt files. (seems to be a trend with steam games. every other game i've had corrupt files as well.) redownloaded them and am now able to connect to solo. still cant connect to the server i've been playing on but im thinking that it hasnt updated yet.

#

After getting online today and trying again I have no issues getting onto my friends server, but im still having issues with the solo/offline, when i try to get into solo, it will be on a loading screen for awhile and then just crash to desktop.

vital condor
#

whatever they did with my friends server with rebooting it worked

rapid rose
#

I'm not having any issues with servers, especially since they arent playing through nitrado. my issue is still just solo/offline

vital condor
#

im not sure but whatever they did it helped me be able to play solo after joinin my friends server

vital condor
#

@jolly shuttle you can put this as solved nitrado helped find the solution to the problem thank you for your time
