    CBS isn't allowing me to connect. My connection requests apparently aren't getting through. I have to search for it specifically to be able to find it in the list, and this is what it shows me:



    I've tried directly connecting to the server, reinstalling the game, flushing my DNS cache, and none of it works, even after the server restarted. This is more than a little annoying, and I know I'm not the only person to have had this bug.

    What am I supposed to do to fix this?

    Assuming yer on windows, open command line (winkey+r, type "cmd" hit enter) then ping the cake build server (type ping /? to get details on how to run the command, you're gonna want to use "/r" and maybe "/a" eg "ping /r CakeServerAddress") See if you're being dropped on some hop, then complain to your ISP if it's their fault. if it's dropped after 1st or 2nd hop, it's probably your fault and you need to play with yer router.

    Check the "compatible" tickbox.

    If you can't see it, you're on a different version to the server. Ensure your versions match, then join.

    Kupu, the server is showing as not having a version on my end at all. Not to mention I've already confirmed that we're both running the latest version.

    I also have tried connecting when the server was online, nothing.

    are you seeing ANY server with a compatible version in the list if you are not sorting for cake ?
    and if so are you able to connect to anyone of them ?

    if not i do assume your network router and stuff is blocking the connection

    I can connect to almost every other server, save for the others that are also affected by this bug

    if you are able to connect to one server on the list, than it isnt a starmade bug.
    its something with your isp, dns resolution or the server is down (and listed as up regardless)
    if you cant see the version number of the server than you cant connect, because you are not getting a response from the server

    try to connect to 94.23.247.147:57921
    thats the cakes ip adress
    if that works your dns isnt resolving the cakeservers name

    What might be useful is if you guys saw a log of what's happening when I try to connect to the server. Here you go.
