Nyneee @Mr.Android Update: Proton VPN let me through like the previous user just explained.
Tried to see if disabling proton VPN while I'm logged in will keep me in, and it does for about 3 minutes until I get "You have been disconnected from the Black Ops II servers"
I did testing using TCPView and when the VPN is enabled, the plutonium-bootstrapper is able to connect to the IP just fine, when it's off, it loses the IP completely.
I'm not a networking expert but I'm able to ping the IP and get a reply from it just fine, so I'm not sure where the issue lies at
Nyneee Would you (and anybody else who has tried a VPN successfully and unsuccessfully) be able to download Cloudflare WARP and install it, run it and connect and then see if the connection is able to be made when opening BO2?
WARP is essentially a VPN through CloudFlare and hopefully whatever is stopping the connection through CloudFlare is fixed when it's going via CloudFlare.
Download Link: https://install.appcenter.ms/orgs/cloudflare/apps/1.1.1.1-windows-1/distribution_groups/release
Servers in theory shouldn't see WARP as a VPN so if this works please try playing on a server and see if you get kicked for using a VPN.
If this works, we can look to tell WARP to only route your internet traffic through WARP if it's related to Plutonium - I just haven't looked up how to do that yet. (So the privacy focussed people don't have to send all their internet traffic through CF if they don't want to)
-
Everyone - please also update the game by running plutonium.exe (don't have WARP running if you installed it)
LOTS of changes so if it's code related (not likely tbh) this may fix it. It's definitely worth a shot as nothing to lose, please let us know

@Mr-Android Cloudfare WARP lets me into Plutonium without a styx socket error, but non VPN allowed servers still give me the boot.
Also, the discord announcement said the release for the update is the 27th, was there a smaller update that got pushed out? My plutonium client didn't fetch it if there was

Nyneee Thanks for the detailed breakdown. My leading guess right now is that it's related to people's Internet Service Provider. Either it's a router setting (which i hope for as then we can solve it / offer guidance) but there's a chance it's a problem between the ISP's and the Cloudflare, in which case I can try to call the ISP and log a support request but that will be it.
Seems MOST people are in Cali, with some in Australia and some in the middle east.
For people reading please answer the following if you are comfortable with it:
Your location (country / state):
Your ISP:
The model of your router: (It may be that one router model is shared among everyone's ISP).
Does using a VPN solve the issue for you?:To the people that reached out via email - I've either added you on discord or emailed you back to explain why I couldn't add you.

Location: USA/California
ISP: Xfinity/Comcast
Model of Router: XB8 by XfinityUsing a VPN does solve it, however i have extremely high ping of 150-350

Nyneee Ah I may have been late on noticing the update lol
Thanks again for the info (and everyone else) - i'll try to see if there's a way we can make sure the server is given our real IP and not the WARP IP and that should fix the issue hopefully.

ALL - We are seeing multiple reports of WARP turned on stopping the connection lost error message BUT some servers will kick you for VPN usage. We are looking to see how we can make the game servers see your actual IP so that the connection stays but they see your real IP and don't kick. (And server owns can still enforce IP bans)
Please POST BELOW if WARP stopped the error but kicked you for VPN usage or not!

@Mr-Android I tried WARP it got me past the error but was kicked from several servers for using a VPN.
