Guest Taren Report post Posted March 24, 2023 I downloaded and installed Eternal Lands successfully. When I ran it, I got to the character creation screen. I supplied a User name/password combo and clicked on Log in, assuming it would prompt for account creation, of course that did not happen. now when I run the game it does not connect but hangs at connecting to server... I removed and reinstalled but this still persists. any ideas on how I can correct this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Update Report post Posted March 24, 2023 I removed ~.etc/main, reinstalled again and got the select language and accept rules dialogs( happy improvement), but it sill hangs at connecting to server. I have opened port 2000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) It could be your ISP is blocking port 2000. Can you try connecting using telnet? You should see something like this: $ telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000 Trying 192.99.21.222... Connected to game.eternal-lands.com. Escape character is '^]'. G�Welcome to the new server! Please report any problems on channel 6. On second thoughts, if you got as far as character creation, you already connected to the server. I assume you are still using the default server not trying to connect to one of the SSL or proxy servers as those no longer work.
