    Default [Tutorial] Chrome Can't connect? Sometimes login screen, sometimes connecting screen?

    Hello

    I haven't been able to find a solution for this, so i came up with my own.
    But before making the whole tutorial, i would like to know how many people have this problem?
    If you can't connect, here's a temporary fix to see if this solves your problem;

    Of course, you will be needing a stable internet connection, if you know that you have that, proceed;

    Alright, first thing to do, open process manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), choose tab processes;


    Have chrome opened at this moment!
    Find explorer.exe, and close it;


    Notice how explorer have been closed, desktop will not be visible anymore at this moment neither the start menu


    Don't panic at this moment, it's allright. Press alt+tab until u find chrome, try opening the game now. You should be able to login without any problems now.
    If this works for you, post a comment so that i can put up the second part of the tutorial, which is fixing the problem without having to do the explorer trick;
    To open explorer again, choose the programs tab, click new job and type in "explorer";


    and everything is back to normal


    Remember, if this worked for you, post a comment, no reason for writing the next part of the tutorial if no one is going to use it

    Hi xabdullahx,

    I'm not sure why force closing Windows Explorer would allow Chrome to successfully connect to the game server. That sounds more like a mis-configuration or problem with your machine than anything else to me. Or perhaps it's doing something with the built in Windows firewall when you're doing that? Of course, I'm not a tech wiz, so it would be interesting to hear if anyone else has input on the issue.

    Hi

    I know what you mean, i was surprised too. But my discovery is not based on pure luck, i've been trying to figure this problem out for 4 days now, i also asked your live chat support, they told me that it's because i live in Denmark and there is a connectivity problem.
    But i wouldn't believe it because it didn't seem as a connectivty problem. I am a certified ccna student and i know what it means to not be able to connect.

    Basically, i've tried everything, netstat -o in the command prompt to see if there would be any other programs using the port, i thought that it might be a problem with another program blocking it's connectivity, i've tried looking at what your game is doing to my system, thought it might be a privilage error, even though i am administrator, it might be a virus causing some kind of a limited privilage, but it's not (or it might). Anyhow, starting up in safe mode would obviously not work because the graphic drivers would not load either, so i tried setting up a virtual machine on my machine, with a fresh windows install, suprisingly, it worked without a hassle and with an awesome ping. I was certain that it wasn't because: "We had reports from people who live in denmark using your ISP (Yousee) that they cant connect" as your support told me.

    Sorry for my bad grammar, but i hope you got my point

    But now, let's just see if anyone have had the same problem, fixing it with my solution

    i have the same issue. this workaround actually worked for me. but kinda hassle with the explorer turned off.
    also, i tried turning explorer.exe back on while i'm in-game... i get disconnected.
