Could not translate address?
-
WTF
What is this shit?
Tried CoA Launcher. Tried direct connect.
Tried other servers, not working.
Didn't change nothing since yesterday when I could log in no problem.
Halp meh!
-
Hubby says it sounds like a DNS problem.
Did you try direct connect with the server name or with the IP address?
-
I asked Goggle.

I tried the server name, and the IP address. I tried writing them in the nwnplayer.ini also. Tried with CoA and 2 other servers. Did not work.
I cleared the... ipconfig dns thingy also. Did not work. Considering just reinstalling the game or something.

It's an internet issue not a game issue afaik.
-
Rebooting your router fixes this kind of problem like 99% of the time.
-
Resetted my modem. Not working.
Reinstalled the game, not working either. -
Problem solved.
Thanks a whole, whole lot to Toportime and Moosh on discord for taking the time to try a bunch of things and finaly translate this chinese here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/worldofgreyhawkfr/connection-error-could-not-translate-address-t4387.html?sid=9d5497571575c73b579dbd158ae4fb90#p54977

Glad we could get it worked out!
Steps done for anyone in the future with this issue on Windows10:
windowskey+R
cmd
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
edit the Hosts file (Windows>System32>Drivers>Ect>Hosts)
add:
0.0.0.0 nwmaster.bioware.com
0.0.0.0 nwn.master.gamespy.com
0.0.0.0 peerchat.gamespy.com
0.0.0.0 45.79.167.16
!may require admin login to edit or save
restart system
profit? -
Yeah, glad it finally got resolved for you. As you saw from toportime it can be a lot of different things along the way. Troubleshooting is never an exact science so sorry we had to get you to go through all that, but it looks like it was worth it in the end!
