Can't connect to servers
For some reason i can't seem to connect to servers, at all. Can anyone help?
R.I.P Sean (bobsanders147) i'll miss you man, we all love you and miss you.
Try restarting the game. If that doesn't work, restart your pc. If that doesn't work, restart your router. If that doesn't work, then reinstalling is your best option.

Hey guys. Having same problem as the OP.
I tried this game about 3 years ago and uninstalled it because I had neverending multiplayer connection issues.

I installed it again yeasterday and unfortunately its same. I tried to connect to about 4-6 multiplayer games (I see list of games so my game is communicating with the server) but it only says Connecting and does nothing. Cant tell exactly right now as the servers seems to be down. Will update later.

I now have different computer, different system and different router. Im using Win7 Home Premium x64, my router doesnt have any specific firewall rules and I use Comodo Firewall, having TB executable set to allow all outgoing. This works for all the games I play and that I played in the past. Actually, I dont think I ever had a connection problem before, being it a game or program or whatever. So I guess my ISP is fine. Everything working and my ping goes around 15-40ms around EU. Because I didnt know what else to try, I also tried to change my firewall rule to allow all connections to TB executable, but that makes no difference.

I remember 3 years ago I was able to join only some of the games. It was annoying but playable. But yeasterday I could not even find a single one that I could connect to.

I really like this game, so if anyone has any ideas what to try or what information you need from me, I will be more than happy to assist. Because fighting Uke gets boring really fast : /

Thank you for your time!
P.S. Please go easy on my with English, still learning.
Have you tried opening it now? Servers do that every once in awhile.

If this doesn't work, I am going to bring out a simple idea of "restart pc" It helps this problem with me every once in awhile. As I said up there.^^

Try to turn off the firewall.
Comodo firewall seems like a third party program.
TP program fucks up everything , usually.
:D
Thanks for replies.
My PC was just freshly started, came back home half hour ago.
I can now see list of the games and again I tried like 8 of them and only one worked.

When the bug happens the screen looks like this:
In the chat log it only says "Download complete", in the the middle of the screen there is "Not connected" and in the top left corner it says "Waiting...". And no player list. Nothing else really.

I dont know what experience you have with Comodo products, but Ive been using its firewall for about... ummm.. I guess its like 6 years now, and it always performed flawlessly. Plus as I said in my previous post, every game and program works fine, except for Toribash. And thats a lot of games and programs over the past 6 years with Comodo and over about 9+ years with my current ISP. And also, how can it be blocked by firewall when I can still connect to one of ten games and see list of games? So no, I did not disable my firewall and I will not.

My conclusion is that this game must use something unusual and I would love to know what and how to solve it, but that goes beyond my computer knowledge.

P.S. I just tried it on my wife's laptop which only has default Win firewall, but is connected over wifi to the same router. And it was acting same. So I went to restart my router and then I also tried older router without wifi module. No change. So if its not router or firewall, what is it? Both computers have Win7 Home Pro x64 and 3 years ago it was doing same stuff with WinXP Pro x32. After this Id say there is something wrong with my ISP, but then again, this is only game I have connection issues with and that leads me to my previous statement - is Toribash client using something unusual that may cause issues with ISP? Can I verify this somehow? Because my ISP claims they block nothing.
