NewPueblo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Today I was disconnected from the main [HG] ZS server. I didn't read the message, and quickly tried to hop back on. However, every time I try to connect I get the message, "Connection failed after 6 retries". I can connect fine to every other Garry's Mod server, and my internet is still on. I've tried using a different account on a different computer within my household, and I was able to connect under that username. I've been trying to reconnect under "NewPueblo", for an hour now, but there is no luck. Is there any possibility that I was banned / blacklisted?

ForrestMarkX Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It's not like HG has a bans page or something 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewPueblo Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Your right, I should have just checked that. It seems that I am not banned, so I guess I'll just wait to see if things fix themselves. Have already tried uninstalling Gmod + addons.

Fume Knight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Most likely was an issue with connecting specific to your region, have seen it happen where only western US players can't connect and other things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewPueblo Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 So after further exploration, it seems that the issue is related to my account. My brother allowed me to test his steam login, and I was able to join using his, even though we share the same connection. This appears to be a server-side problem, as I've done a clean install of Gmod without the use of cloud saving, but still ran into the same issue.

SherlockPwnz Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Does it only happen to ours? Can you connect to other gmod servers? Wondering if it's an issue with VAC being blocked (firewall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyamur Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quote It's not like HG has a bans page or something @ForrestMarkX Speaking of bans, are we ever going to port the Bans list onto the new HG website from Legacy, or are we just going to let it sit there?

NewPueblo Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah, it's just to the HG central ZS server. I actually had some luck yesterday getting on, but sure enough the problem is back. If it helps at all, my game froze for a good while before I crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewPueblo Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just completely reinstalled Steam, and disallowed Gmod from pulling my user information from the cloud. The connection is most definitely severed by the server first, and is based solely on my account connecting. I'm essentially banned, without the "banned" labeling. If you guys have a database w/ user information, would you be able to take a look under my username, to see if there is anything unusual? Any help is much appreciated.
