+---- Thread: Can't join the main server (/thread-14844.html)
Can't join the main server - Hungames - Mar 24, 2017
Earlier today, I joined the main server and was fine, until I was AFK and I got connection issues. Now, I can't join the main server, but the build server works fine.

Would be useful if you provided more information - does it time out, does it crash your game, when does the loading stop/freeze, have you tried to restart game/steam/computer, verifying game cache?
RE: Can't join the main server - Hungames - Mar 24, 2017
Already verified the game cache, restarted steam, game, and computer. Doesn't crash the game. Doesn't time out.
It doesn't get past the first 2 bars in the loading screen. It says connecting to server, but then doesn't go further. The game doesn't freeze or anything.

Got a message "Connection failed after 6 retries"

Try reconnecting to wifi or unplug and plug back in your ethernet cable. If you have access to your internet router, restart it. If all that doesn't work, will probably have to get a dev to check the main server isn't blocking your IP address for whatever reason.

This was a different issue from the one @Hungames is having.

What exactly?
" +client port ip xxxxx "? (xxxxx = individual ip adress)
Thanks for your help!
RE: Can't join the main server - Night - Apr 1, 2017
You don't put your IP in when dealing with the -clientport command, and it's also just "clientport" put together. Not separately!
+clientport 27030 should work.
Generally, it should be 27015 but as the main server runs off port 27030, that's what we're setting it as.

@Hungames
Have the above solutions worked?
RE: Can't join the main server - Hungames - Apr 7, 2017
I didn't need to do the above solutions, it just started working for whatever reason. There may have been something broken that night
