Problems connecting to servers. [solved]

[valentinbraem]

Hello,

I have a 4G LTE internet connection with an Alcatel HH40 box and I have big problems connecting to Trackmania² Stadium servers.

Sometimes I can't connect to my Maniaplanet account and when I manage to connect to my account, it takes me a long time to get to the Maniaplanet menu. Then once in the multiplayer menu of Trackmania² Stadium, it's very, very difficult to get the servers. I click the refresh button many times and either by chance I have the servers right away or I have to wait almost 15 minutes always by constantly clicking on refresh button.
I'm aware that the problem comes from my 4G connection, because no problem to play Trackmania with my secondary connection in ADSL.

If any of you could help me find the solution, It could be very cool and I could play the game fully again.

LTE connections normally don't allow any kind of internet services.
Some servers use UDP, some use TCP.
I guess that permanent connections are not the preferred usage of mobile phone connections.

One thing you could try is to reduce the bandwith Maniaplanet should use for the network connection, in the Maniaplanetlauncher configuration application. In the advanced settings you can set upload and download speed independently.

Hi,

Did you try to change the display settings and the network settings on the game launcher to check out if this improves your game experience?

I don't need to change my display settings, as my PC configuration is able to run the game with maximum graphics.
I tried to lower the network speed, put custom values in the advanced settings and that doesn't solve my problem.
Still very slow to get to Maniaplanet's menu, I can connect to my Maniaplanet account, but I can't connect to Trackmania² Stadium at all.
I have this error message.

Unable to connect at this title.
Unable to connect to the server (12002).

In a parallel topic in the server section, jonthekiller suggested to use a VPN on a mobile connection.
Perhaps this might be a solution for you?

I no longer have any problems using a VPN, everything is super responsive.
Thank you very much!

I'm glad to hear, have fun

Do you know what you did change or did it come by itself?

I have tried to use with a VPN and I have no worries about going through a VPN.
