"Unable to connect to server"

[Cleomenes]

Okay, first of all

So I take it, after 6 months, you were able to find the M&B directory? Congrats.

I found it since day 1, don't be a troll, thank you.

He is not a troll. He is propably the best helped in this forum.
And to your problem...
Are you sure you bought the key?

Ofcourse I've got a key,I already told you that, didn't I?
*reads back at first page* I might as well copy and paste that entire page and put it here to remind you that my Warband is legimate.

No, that's Caba'drin. 

I did notice that the rgl log lists use_secure_connection = 0

which means you didn't try the first thing that was suggested. I would try changing that first before messing with anything else.

In win 7, it's in \Documents\Mount&Blade Warband\

In XP, I would search for it. Make sure you are editing rgl_config.txt, and not rgl_log.txt (the log is in the main m&b directory, the config is in the documents folder).

Well actually...

1) Go here: C:\Users\Name\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband
2) Open up : rgl_config.txt
3) Find: "use_secure_connection = 1"
4) Change it to: "use_secure_connection = 0"
Save and close.. problem solved.

And guess what, it was still the same old song of "unable to connect to server"

Next, I would spend some time poring over firewalls and antivirus software looking for program blocks. What antivirus do you use?

Avast Anti-virus.

[Fehnor]

Lots of history of that AV blocking warband and other games. I would look on their forums (good luck) or get another antivirus. MS Security Essentials is good (and free). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials

Avast is a pretty much pain in the ass, but I don't think it would block the internet connection of the game...

Wait, you can play Singleplayer, right?

Then I don't think it blocks.
But you should try anyways.

[Fehnor]

It definitely blocks programs. If you look at their forums, this issue has been unanswered for almost ten years. I bet real money this is the reason you're getting the unable to connect error.

So, what can I do to unblock it?
I also just noticed that my Avast will expire in 2 days.

Search for block

You will see plenty of unanswered forum threads about this. Most refer to the behavior shield blocking programs it shouldn't.

I don't use Avast, so I can't answer beyond that.

I have pretty much the same problem, exept it tells me "Unable to connect to server" every time I try to connect to anything. I noticed that it drops after "Checking serial number". I got my game through steam, can that be the problem?

Oh, also, I tried re-installing, regediting the serial number, etc etc. It accepts my serial number when it asks for it, the only problem that I have is that it just won't connect to any of the servers with any of the modules that I have installed.


Preeeetty much this:

No specific error message, nothing exeptional pops up in the console. I tried the "use_secure_connection = 0"  stuff too, no change.

First of all, we gave you several answers that might of help you, but you just rage at us.
We are not Gods, if Warband is not working for you, well tough!

Oh, when you bought M&BW did it work in multiplayer or it didn't at all

Yup, internet worked fine until September/October.

Who can I contact about my serial number problem?
