Could Not Communicate with Account Server | Forums

[Locke005]

When I try to log in to R.U.S.E. I am not able to connect to the Account Server. I am getting the error message "Could not communicate with the account server."

I have all my ports open. Is the account server down or is it a problem on my end?

Ok so the game is working now and this is what worked for me.

Locate the HOSTS.txt file found under this path, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Open it with notepad, and then 'Delete' everything below these two lines of text:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

Now save the file, make a Backup of this file, reboot, and run the Game launcher/game as an ADMIN if under Vista/7.

Also I configured my network to allow Steam and R.U.S.E. access to the following ports:
• UDP 27000 to 27030 inclusive
• TCP 27014 to 27050 inclusive
• UDP 4379 and 4380
• UDP 3478

hope this helps

Nope, doesn't work. Thanks for trying though. It's more help than I've received from Ubisoft, Steam, and Direct2Drive combined so far. -_-*

I already DID use that fix. It didn't fix anything! Thanks to whoever posted that though. At least you are trying more than ****ing ****ty *** Ubisoft.
