The game does not start

Postby SnOksY » Sun Mar 15, 2026 8:43 pm

Hello everyone! I decided to play HnH via Steam and encountered this error while launching the game. I tried to solve the problem for 2 hours, but to no avail. Please help me!

In some countries, you need a VPN or software to bypass restrictions to run the game. You can find a thread on the Steam community explaining how to solve this. I've also seen a few similar threads here on the forum – in a different section, not the bugs section.

I play through "zapret" with the addition of the Haven server address (46.4.95.116/32) to the list.

Can you write to me on discord and explain how to add an IP to zapret? I've tried, but it didn't work snok2293

It's better to go to Haven's Steam community; you'll immediately find a thread about "can't log into the game" with detailed instructions on how to fix it.
One method works for some, another for others.

For anyone who can't get it to launch, try this:
1) Google "zapret version from flowseal"
2) Follow the GitHub link where it says "releases"
3) Scroll down the page a bit and download the ban .rar or .zip file, it doesn't matter
4) Unzip and open the unzipped folder
5) There will be three folders in it - open the second one, "lists"
6) Open the "ipset-all" text document, it's the very first one.
7) I have one entry there. Paste 46.4.95.116/32 into a new line. Save and close.
8) Launch General (ALT) (I launched it via right-click and run as administrator).
9) Launch Steam and Haven

I predict these flimsy crutches failing on april 1st by the way, judging by the direction it's going. Better start looking for options. I wonder if my [redacted]PN holds. We'll see.

Yes, I heard that VPNs will stop working on April 1st. We'll see.
