Login issue: keeps giving connection refused to api.faforever.com

Hi crew,

Every now and then the client refuses to let me log in - it gives the connection refused error below, and gives me the log in with browser window. There I can log in, authorize, get a nice "login successful" but in the client I get back to the same error. Sometimes, after 2-3 times of trying, it goes through, other times after 10x trying it still doesn't let me in and I give up and play something else...

This started last week or the week before - didn't have it before that. Any clue what causes this? Server too busy? Something getting blocked somewhere?

I run the latest client as of now 2022.8.0 and after typing all this it just finally logged me in (...) but I still post it as I'm sure it'll happen again šŸ˜‰

Connection refused is a general problem on your computer. Maybe some antivirus or firewall software blocking the access or maybe you didn't allow the client to use the network.

@brutus5000 said in Login issue: keeps giving connection refused to api.faforever.com:

Strange, as it works sometimes, just not all the time. I have no anti-virus running, but I'll look at the firewall side of things. Still that would not explain that it sometimes, but not always, fails.

Anyhow, I assume from your reply that the FAF servers aren't blocking me.

No. The forum runs on the same machine and obviously you can connect here.

It's fascinating, the errors - now I get this one, basically saying it can't reach the server:

just a few tries later - it simply logs me in.. it is just unreliable.

Just for the statistics: In which country do you live and who is your Internet provider? Are you on mobile lte connection or via cable/dsl/fiber?

My guess is you live outside Europe and/or use a LTE connection.
