I am trying to run this demo which is a simple libgdx game, implementing the AppWarp multi player API, but it doesn't work. I'm running the desktop version of the game, it starts up fine but it won't connect to AppWarp. It 'tries to connect' for a while, then the connect event comes back with a result '5' which is an underlying TCP connection error as stated here. I'm running it on Windows 7 OS, tried disabling firewall and security essentials all to no avail. Any idea as to what the problem might be?

  • Are you referring to the [tutorial here](http://appwarp.shephertz.com/game-development-center/java-multiplayer-libgdx-tutorial/)? Have you put your application keys? – dhruv chopra Feb 22 '14 at 17:06
  • Yes that's the tutorial. I entered the api keys, I tried it first with a wrong one and then I got a fileNotFoundException. It does give multiple options when creating an app in the dashboard and it wasn't very clear which I should choose. So first I tried Mobile Cloud API App and that's when I got the fileNotFoundException so then I tried the Multiplayer WARP Cloud App and that key seems to work but I can't get it to connect. – user3340165 Feb 22 '14 at 17:22
  • yes you need to create WARP type of app for connecting to AppWarp cloud servers. Do WarpClient.enableTrace(true); after you initialize. This will print logs to System.Out. Perhaps that will be give a hint as to what is wrong. Also curious what you mean by 'WARP Cloud App and that key seems to work' if you couldn't connect? – dhruv chopra Feb 22 '14 at 18:57
  • it's giving me 'AppWarpTrace :1393096235660:shouldStop... returning' in the console, so not much wiser. And I assumed the key worked because i didn't got the fileNotFoundException as I did with the other key and the connection result code 5 clearly states that there is a TCP connection error and no key error. – user3340165 Feb 22 '14 at 19:12
  • Is that all that you get? no exception trace etc.? to confirm that its not a machine config issue, can you try telnet to the server.. do "telnet appwarp.shephertz.com 12346" – dhruv chopra Feb 22 '14 at 19:24
  • connect failed, I can't telnet to that server. Any idea how I can solve this? – user3340165 Feb 22 '14 at 19:32
  • I can't ping appwarp.shephertz.com either, this is strange I can ping google just fine – user3340165 Feb 22 '14 at 19:58
  • probably you're behind some gateway/firewall that only allows http/port 80 traffic – dhruv chopra Feb 23 '14 at 03:23
  • also ping won't work to appwarp.shephertz.com - ICMP pings are disabled. see if you can telnet to any other server which is running on a port other than 80/8080/443 - http/https ports – dhruv chopra Feb 23 '14 at 04:51
