Major connection issues

[Orindell]

Hey, I'm writing about issues I am currently having with access to both the Taleworld Website, Taleworld Forums and Mount and Blade: Warband servers. On Tuesday the 19th of June, at approximately 7:30PM, I discovered that I was unable to access the main server of Mount and Blade: Warband multiplayer. To be clear, I opened up multiplayer, accessed the server list, and nothing came up. Instead, after several seconds of "Retrieving server list..." I get an error message that says "Error Unable to connect to server" and no servers appear.

After this happened a few times, I disconnected and reconnected my internet connection, did the usual actions of restarting my computer and putting my firewall down. When none of those options worked, I went to go on the Taleworlds forum to look for a solution, and was very unhappy to discover I could not connect to it. My browser would attempt to connect for several minutes, before telling me that "The connection has timed out The server at forums.taleworlds.com is taking too long to respond." I soon discovered this was also the case with the main Taleworlds website.

I then tried to connect using my phone and my house wireless internet, which also failed, finally forcing me to ask a friend of mine to forward this message to you on the forums. To be clear, I own a legitimate copy of Mount and Blade: Warband (the game ownership badge is on my forum profile) on Steam, and am at a complete loss for how such a complete disconnection for Taleworlds could occur, even more considering that I am still perfectly able to connect to the internet.

As a regular player, I would be very grateful to have some help in resolving the issues.

Thank you.

I also have this problem with Warband. I'm able to connect to Taleworlds just fine, but I'm unable to play Warband online. I have know idea what to do.

Have you checked at Taleworlds as well?

There are a list of solutions to try in the stickied threads over at Taleworlds' tech support board: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,164.0.html

But if your problem is that you can see multiplayer servers and not connect to them, then the most common cause seems to be that your rgl.config.txt file lists that you want to use a secure connection (which most servers don't use)

I have 2 rgl.config.txt files. In both files there is a line called ''use_secure_connection = 1''
Set it to "use_secure_connection = 0" in both files and it's fixed. =)

They are in:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mount&Blade Warband

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Mount&Blade Warband

Ok, I have this issue too for last 2 days:

>> Instead, after several seconds of "Retrieving server list..." I get an error message that says "Error Unable to connect to server" and no servers appear.

It happens on my 2 computers (for which I bought 2 copies to play with my son). Any advice?

Hm... And I can`t open "list of solutions" link with message "server not found"

So my DNS can't resolve "forums.taleworlds.com" any more. Is it live ever?

...always, yes.
It is forum.taleworlds.com NOT forums.taleworlds.com (singular forum, the company name is plural)

I just tried forums through the link http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,164.0.html

It worked for me.

Aye, my bad. Though either should work. There are up to 1-2 thousand folks on at once, every day.
