    I'm sorry the log is my mistake thought it was still september and the date format was american.

    Either way.. I've carefully examined your logs and also the Launcher's source code. It really really looks like some program or some device is specifically blocking the Launcher from the internet.

    So forget about AVG; I trust we have ruled that one out by now.

    But do you have any other "security" kind of programs installed? Anything that intends to make your browsing or interner experience more secure.

    Also how do you connect to the internet? Are you sitting at home using an ordinary modem?

    Im on my home router, I use Brave browser (but this was still happening back when I used firefox), I have wireshark but that only monitors traffic it doesn't block it. AVG is my only security. Do I need to port forward or something? If it makes any difference, this only started happening after RenX made its transition to this new site, so maybe something changed on the backend or with the patching servers.

    These logs are from february and march ?!
     

    I'm just saying that any type of security suite these days can contain a VPN within.
    So you may have one without knowing it.


    But by all means send in a more recent log because right now you probably have an entirely different issue than you had in february.
    We'll just be chasing our own tail otherwise. 😅

    I deleted all the log files I had in RenX Launcher folder (there was almost 20 of them). I redownloaded the launcher and tried installing again with AVG disabled. These are the log files that were created today:

    Hi there,

    Your log implies some kind of firewall or VPN at works.

    AVG AntiVirus nowadays optionally includes a feature called "Enhanced Firewall" at the point of install.

    You can follow these directions to check whether this feature got installed alongside antivirus:
    support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=Use-AVG-Antivirus-Enhanced-Firewall

    As to VPN's.. they can come in all kinds of "online security", "web shield", "internet security" suites.
    And they're also commonly bundled with virusscanners these days and sometimes people aren't even aware they're running one.

    Kind regards,
    Suspiria

    I dont have the Enhanced Firewall feature installed but tried installing RenX with my AVG completely turned off just in case. Same result. I have never used a VPN but I do have a dynamic IP address if that matters. Here is my new log:

    Hi, are you guys still here?
    Am very sorry we didn't get back to you more timely.

    So uhm,
    if you don't have a firewall then you automatically have Windows Firewall unless you expressly disabled it.

    I advise you recheck your Windows firewall settings as NodSaibot suggested.

    There's a setting called: "Allow an app through Windows Firewall"
    If you search for "firewall" in your start menu it should show up.
    Otherwise you have to go find it yourself.

    In that screen,
    make sure that anything resembling "Renegade X Launcher.exe" and "UDK.exe" have both check marks on so that it's allowed through.

    If that doesn't help please do provide us with your launcher's recent .log file.
    You can find your log files here: C:\Users\<your account name>\AppData\Roaming\Renegade-X Launcher

    You can drag the file into your reply.

    My windows firewall is completely turned off and has been for years now.

    Hear is my log file:

    Are you using latest download link?

    If you are using that, make sure that it's not being blocked by firewall and has internet connection.

    Yes, thats the link I used. Just to be sure I redownloaded it and retried installing using your post link. Same result. :/ 

    I don't have a firewall and my antivirus is AVG. AVG didn't react to launching it so I don't think its the antivirus.

    Do you have an issue downloading renx currently?

    No, the patcher works (although it does take up ALL my bandwidth during the patch downloads and there is no way for to adjust the mB/s) but I would like to have a copy of the standalone installer because as I outlined in this thread:

    I have no faith in EA to not come after this project at some point. I would like to have a copy for continuity...    just in case.

    Someone was hosting torrents or other full downloads of the betas, but I don't think those are being kept up anymore.

    It wasn't "Someone", it was the RenX dev team themselves who uploaded the torrents and posted those links on the downloads page. There are no seeders for those torrents anymore mainly because they are 5+ years old and there is currently no demand for them.

    One of the great things about Renegade X is that the development team has an agreement with EA

    So do you have a physical contract or just a verbal agreement? One is enforceable in court the other is not. Your view of EA seems a little naive. Mega corporations like EA, Bethesda, Activision, Ubisoft, etc. do not have friends, they have financial goals and if they perceive you to be standing in the way of those goals they will stomp you out. You may have met a few nice people working for EA but when ordered to they will shut you down or be fired themselves.

    It is not a stretch to see how EA might believe Firestorm is drawing attention away from any future Tiberian Sun Remasters.

    Other game studios before you thought they had an "Agreement" with EA, and many of them found out what that means the hard way.

  9. Like back with beta 2 we could just download the game via torrent and install it directly, without having to rely on a patching server to download the game.

    Hear me out on this:

    If EA all of a sudden decides that Renegade X is cutting into their C&C Remastered profits (which is a possibility knowing EA) they can shut down this game, this website, and the servers with a single cease and desist letter. However, EA cannot shutdown a P2P torrent because it is self sustaining and non centralized. EA might be able to shut down creators/projects but they cant shutdown players. I love this game and I just want this game to have some plan of continuity because I don't want to see it crushed the way EA have crushed many other games/studios. With the possibility of a Tiberium Sun Remastered on the horizon I can see EA viewing Ren X Firestorm as competition and shutting it down.

    I understand releasing a new torrent for every hotfix is to tedious but can we at least get one for each major release? Maybe a torrent for the big one-point-oh?

    I love this game to much to see it shut down. What are your thoughts?

  10. I have been thinking about this for a while. When I first started playing Renegade X it was very difficult for me to overcome the twitch shooting where players move so quickly it is very difficult to hit them. This has been a turnoff for most of my friends and the reason why they stopped playing.

    So to make it more accommodating to people who are used to playing games like CoD, BF4, and Planetside 2 you might want to consider reducing the strafe speed. The strafe speed feels unnatural. I believe this change alone will make it so much more welcoming to new players who are not used to the twitch shooting mechanic.

    What do you guys think?

  11. Crates are fun. You never know what your gonna get. But When a crate switches my class its really annoying. There is no point to using a crate to switch to a basic class because you can do that yourself at any building for free. Not to mention if you paid for a character and the crates wastes your money by switching you back to a basic class.

    How about create a new "commando" class that can only be accessed by crates. The commando would have overpowered weapons and armor making worth risking your character for the crate.

    Also, how about the option to turn crates on/off at the map selection?
