Invalid argument: connect?

Post by TiFFman »

So I took a break and wanted to come back and play some more. I downloaded the new launcher and everything. However when I try and connect using the default launcher or a custom client I get an "Invalid argument: connect" error. I've reinstalled Java 8, new clients, and I'm out of ideas. I can post the full exception if it would help.

"java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: connect"

Edit:
Going to try and install Java 6 and 7, see if either of those work.

Edit2:
So going back to Java 6 worked, but game is extremely laggy and custom clients won't work. Something doesn't want me to play again :P

Need more information before we can help. What OS are you using?

Also to note, the custom clients may require Java 7 or 8 to run, so if you've had to go back to 6, they won't work.

I'm also moving this to Bugs so it gets more visibility. (I, at least, completely missed it the last few days.)

2. open cmd window type

Code: Select all

3.custom client = edit run.bat put in

Code: Select all
