Troubleshooting: Connection Refused

[nicolasdaneau]

Hi,
I'm new here and in need of help for starting.

Connection is refused and firewall is off.

@nicolasdaneau Con refused from what? Hosting? Most cannot host. please elaborate sir.

[nicolasdaneau]

@prastle Tanks for the reply. I'll put as much details as possible.

From the main menu:

When I click "Play Online" button, I get a window titled "Could not connect to server" with text message "Connection reset"

When I click "Connect to Networked Game" button, I get a window titled "Client options" with 3 filled fields. And if I click the "Connect" button on it, I get a window titled "Error" with text message "Unable to connect:Connection refused"

I have:
Engine Version: 1.8.0.9
Mac OS 10.6.8

@nicolasdaneau Can you please download the latest TripleA version and see if that resolves your issue: https://triplea-game.org/download/

@nicolasdaneau You should update to the latest stable and try again.

Macs are a little troublesome : )

heh heh looks like redrum beat me too it : )

[nicolasdaneau]

@redrum Unfortunatly, I can't. I'm stuck at OS 10.6.8. Latest Triplea version will not run...

[prastle]

@nicolasdaneau Sorry Win 10 here can't help much. I can safely say that hosting is a long drawn out issue Mac or Windows. perhaps just use a bot? either way you do need 1.9 to use the lobby. 1.89 gone long time sir

[nicolasdaneau]

@prastle Ok. I believe it does answer my question... Thanks.

@nicolasdaneau On your version of the OS it should be able to run without problems.
Are you having trouble installing triplea or is it just not starting after installing?

I moved this here and deleted my other thread I started. Didn't see this.

I can not connect to the lobby.

I opened ports 3300 and 3100. I turned off all firewalls. Windows Defender firewall and Xfinity Firewall on the router itself.

I can't figure it out.

I have Windows 10 Pro

I have tried to look for help with this issue and I couldn't find anything. I even put the "Could not connect to lobby: Connection refused" into google and couldn't get anything. I reinstalled Java to the latest edition. I am at a loss.

I was able to connect without issue a few days ago, this only started happening a day ago.

Thanks for the help.

@baron1282 Please turn your router firewall back on, it's likely not the issue.
So nothing has changed since you could connect to the lobby?
Any chance you you entered a value in the engine preferences lobby settings by accident and saved it?

Also @baron1282 your issue is a completely different issue,so you should've kept your own thread
