Stuck "logging in to game server"

[Cowboymode1]

Okay, it seems like the solution was found. I just saw it in the world chat and it works for me like a charm without vpn. You should add the following strings into your hosts file. On Windows it's located here: c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts , I'm sure Linux users know what to do.

Code: Select all

92.114.107.47 hc.octowow.st
185.165.170.59 normal.octowow.st
92.114.107.48 pvp.octowow.st

edit: well, at least it works for normal and hardcore realms lol

Not computer savvy enough to try this. HC server did end up letting me on so I can feed my addiction but PVE is locked away

It's pretty simple, here's some pictures and extra instructions: https://imgur.com/a/P5MnY6N

Then restart your pc after following the instructions. Also, reset your router (unplug, wait 10s, plug back in).

Adding 185.165.170.59 normal.octowow.st to hosts worked for about an hour this morning, then I got DCed and can't log back in. Someone on the Discord said to change it to 92.114.107.53 normal.octowow.st but that didn't work either.

Edit: now REMOVING "185.165.170.59 normal.octowow.st" from my hosts file let me log in...

You are a king. I was apprehensive to change anything in the file and save it. When people query chatGPT with "like a 5 year old"
