Trying to help troubleshoot the game for a friend who I've played with for a while, but haven't been able to have a session for a few weeks. I've got their log text here, and from what I can tell, the API call just fails for an untraced reason? Apologies for not having much more information than this, I can find out more on request if needed. I guess I'm just trying to find out if this is a common error message, and if there's something simple to blame. Thanks!
#Network Connection Error - NameResolutionFailure

Are you using weird characters in your name
They are, yes
Is that an issue?
They've changed their steam name, but that hasn't worked
unfortunately not
also hi frost
@torn linden Any idea what Nameresolutionfailure would mean
And I suppose @real bobcat as well
Something borked with DNS I would guess
Of course other things apply, no cfosspeed or anything that messes with packets
or VPNs
Using a VPN actually seemed to be a workaround to the issue? But it made the game exceedingly unstable
(Crashes, dropped players, a weird bug where an opened security "closed" when we were on the other side of it)
or stuff like goodbyedpi
That's massive desync
I can imagine lmao
Assuming you two are from the same country there shouldn't be those kind of issues, as a rule of thumb
But if you're from continents apart it becomes harder NOT to have some sort of desync
I'm from New Zealand, he's from Australia iirc? Might be wrong on that, can't properly remember
We've played for a few months without any issues at all
@grand fable i seek thy clarification
philippines dingus
sorry
its alright love u <3
Try restarting modem/router and all the usual suspects already mentioned like DNS
The other two we play with are from Aus though
We've tried restarting game, computer, router, and verifying files
tried that about twice sorri
Well hirnu should have a better idea on things
That said, haven't seen this error before, so won't be able to help much anyways
alright ill try again tomorrow and see if it persists
