Need help with my launcher.

[Bytez]

I found a launcher that was made a few years ago. It works with updates and everything. When it opens the game client it says the server is offline and when i open my client it says it's online. I have uploaded my resources in the file and in the data folder in google drive. I have setup the Google Cloud aswell. Any ideas what to do?

Where is the server hosted? On your own PC or on a server somewhere else?

Where are you testing it? If you changed the client's IP to your IP you'll probably need a friend to test it for you.

 

Also please make this a little clearer, did you mean that the launcher can't find the updates or that your client can't connect?

Inside of the gamelaunchers data folder, can you go into resources and find "config.json" look inside and where it says:  "Host": "", do you have an IP or "local host" in that slot?

If you are trying to connect to a server being hosted on your PC you'll want to put local host. But when you distribute, you'll want to put your IP in there.

If you want to DM me your game files I can take a look to see if theres anything I can spot.
