Client Cannot Connect to Login Server

[jcradio]

I installed this over the weekend, but I have yet to be able to get logged in to the game. I get a message indicating that the client cannot get connected to the login server. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Try the following in any order, one at a time:

Turn off Windows Firewall then try connecting.  If that works you will need to set a rule to allow CoH.  I'll have to look at how to do this as CoH isn't doing an install like a normal app.

 

If that doesn't work then disable any antivirus and try.  If it works then you need to set up an exemption in your AV to whitelist score.exe and tequila.exe

 

Reverify all the files with Tequila.  If that works, problem solved.  If not download Creamsoda to a different directory, let it install and manage the game and try it.  If it works, the problem is Tequila and your PC not liking it.  Just use Creamsoda and play.

 

If you have Norton or McAfee Internet Security or firewall products get rid of them.  More trouble than they are worth and are just slowing your system down.  They are also hyper-active in blocking MMOs and have been for at least 10 years.  When I encounter a computer with those on them and an issue with a particular site or game the first thing I do is turn them off and see if it works.  I've seen Norton suddenly decide Amazon and Google are dangerous sites and block them even after a whitelisting and McAfee has gone as fruit loops as it's founder.

Thanks for the information. Still no joy. I will see if Cream Soda helps. Where is the best place to grab it? Also, could Windows 7 be the reason? What about router firewall?

Search for Thunderspy Creamsoda.  First couple of links should do it.

 

Windows 7 shouldn't be a problem, the game was built for XP/2000.

 

Router firewall could be an issue.  Might need to put exemptions in.  Can try shutting it off and see if it lets you through, if so, there is the problem.

Cipher posted in Discord yesterday that they are having issues on their end as far as server connections go, so it might be something that gets cleared up once they deal with that.
