Connecting to Server

[Obsydien]

I've received the following two errors several times in the last two hours or so. I'm able to log in just fine, but after moving around for a bit, I get an error message saying that my connection to the server is either unstable or that there is no connection. Now, I don't have the greatest internet service, but I haven't had issues likes this ever.

ERROR - 2014-08-31 18:37:08,898 - [Illarion input thread]: The connection to the server is not working anymore.

And it happened again.

edit: Now three times with that same message. Now it is saying there is a technical error.

edit: And a fourth.

Can get on the forum and chat.. just not in game.

Never mind.. found the offending security program that did it!! BAD thing!

@Obsydien: I realize this thread is a little old, weren't sure if you were or have had the same issue as of recent, but a firewall could be trying to shield the server from trying to establish a connection or your IP address is (at least the one you're using) is not able to make a connection. So maybe check the IP addy? There is a way you can change the property setting if your local one is not working. Nitram probably knows more on that or has helped you already?

@Snazug:

Thanks for the idea! But I haven't had this issue since my original post, though I did do some firewall tinkering the day after this issue. Probably fixed it without even realizing it.

During the last two days, I had the same issue.
