[TM2] Connection - internal error, not connected to internet

[TotallySucks]

When I start up ManiaPlanet I see the "Checking connection with master server..." dialog box, then the "Choose your Profile" dialog shows up. After selecting my profile I see:

"Connecting to mp01.maniaplanet.com..."

and then I get:

"Could not connect:
Internal error"

or sometimes:

"Could not connect:
Please try again later"

then, if I click OK I see this:

"You are not connected to the internet - retry, stay offline"

Clicking retry takes me to the Account Connection screen, if I click Connect on this screen the same thing I just described happens.

This is really annoying since I haven't been able to activate the game online yet, so I can't even play offline!

Windows XP Pro SP3 as an administrator.
Windows Security Essentials and Windows firewall.
Broadband internet via a combined modem/router.
I've tried forwarding ports 80 and 443 and also turned off the Windows firewall. I updated my network card drivers as mentioned here, my modem/router has the latest firmware, I tried to turn off Checksum Offloading and force full duplex in my network card (don't have those options), I disabled power management, and now I'm out of ideas. Help?

Could you try this solution please :

Check your host file in windows (You can find his location here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file)

Then put this file in editable mode (right click on this file => uncheck the hut read-only).
You need to remove these ligns (if it appears)

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 mp02.maniaplanet.com
127.0.0.1 mp01.maniaplanet.com
127.0.0.1 mp03.maniaplanet.com
127.0.0.1 game.maniaplanet.com

You save your new files and recheck the hut read-only.


Now try to connect to ManiaPlanet.

those lines arent in the host file
just:

it connects to the master server fine but as soon as it connects to mp04 or mp01 just says internal error.. tried creating a new account but it says my key has been used (obsviously on my normal account) was playing perfectly fine in beta and the day before the master server went down

[TotallySucks]

Also checked my hosts file, there's nothing in there. This is very frustrating. When I saw that the game wasn't released on Steam I was hesitant to purchase it, but went ahead anyway. Now I wish I hadn't.

How should I go about seeking a refund if this problem cannot be resolved? My CD key hasn't even been activated.
