For last two days no matter what I do Renguard errors out while loading.

The error reported is:

"Failed to recieve list of available master servers. Check your internet connection."

My internet connection is working just fine. This has been happening for the last 48 hours now.

index.php?t=getfile&id=6659&private=0

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Firewall blocking it? Did you check if Windows firewall didn't turn itself on?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Windows Firewall has always been turned on and has never been an issue.

The RG problem still exists with Windows Firewall turned off.

I'm a bit out of ideas regarding renguard lately. It seems to be totally knackered :-S.

Ya this problem came out of nowhere and won't go away.

I am not re-installing it either. Too much of a hassle.

Won't help TBH. Try restarting your router / reconnecting to the internet. You never know...

Probably done that a 1000 times recently because I was having packet loss issues. My ISP resolved the issue and I continue to power cycle the modem every other day.

This issue continues which means I just can't use RG anymore.

Since this problem is still an issue I will review what I have tried:

Disabled the Windows Firewall
Ensured that Renguard is on the Windows Firewall Expections list, and even removed and readded RG.
Checked my router's settings over
Enabled the DMZ on the router for just my computer
Removed the router and have connected directly with my cable modem
Called my ISP to determine if there was something wrong with my line, and they said it is running great.
Replaced my network cables
Reinstalled Renguard
Reinstalled Renegade from scratch and install Renguard

After all those things the problem still exists. Is there anyone who has a suggestion on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Must be an issue with some router betwee you and RG's master servers.

Is your hosts file clear of silly entries? (REALLY long shot)

That is excatly how I feel. Unless some wise RG Developer decides to help I see no solution.

I suspect that there is an issue with the RG master servers.

I checked my hostfile and the only extra entry is:

70.84.132.90 renchat2.westwood.com

Which is what I thought was for getting local ladder stats displayed.

Thanks for replying guys.

Sir_Kane is supposedly working on a new version, almost a rewrite from what I remember. I just don't know how long it's going to take, but knowing his previous work, it'll be amazing.

The master server list is downloaded from this and other locations:

http://renguard.com/_priv_beta/index.bin

If you can download that file without a problem, then it can't be a network issue. In fact, if you're connecting to these forums, then you should be able to download this file. This file contains the master server locations for your RG client to connect to.

I'm the bawss.

I was able to download that file no problem. And yes as you can see I can connect to these forums fine.

The problem must lie elsewhere.... Huh

Must be an issue with connecting to the master server adresses themselves then, but if the hosts file was clean...

So this issue continues and this week my ISP sent a tech to the house. There is a minor issue with my connection but the fix they are doing hasn't happened yet. Once it does, who knows maybe this will go away. If it doesn't then I am going for a complete re-install again.

I just wanted to update this topic.

Today I decided to randomly check if Renguard would work. So I clicked on the link and a very strange thing happened. It loaded fine. I was shocked to be honest because I have changed nothing for a few months now since RG just stopped working (See first post for error details).

I watched RG and black command promt window flashed briefly, then RG restarted. I have no clue what that was about but I can only ask, which brings me here.

Was there an update to RG that I was missing?

I am currently running 1.0323...

The command prompt does indicate an update. Maybe it tried to update before and failed, hence crashed?

Sorry to bump this, but the exact same thing happened to me..

I reinstalled Rene with RG and it worked fine (I was shocked as well) Then I saw the command prompt about RG updating, it restarted then said:

[14:56] Trying to connect to server #1...
[14:56] Trying to connect to server #1...Failed!
[14:56] Trying to connect to server #2...Failed!
[14:56] Trying to connect to server #3...

etc.
