Can't connect to the game server

Your client couldn't reach Luduvo's game server.

What you see

The game loads, then never connects. Input and camera stop responding.

Who's affected

Seen from Iran and on stale launch links.

What to do

1. Close Luduvo, refresh the game page in your browser and press Join again.
2. Try another network with any VPN turned off.
3. Advanced: in PowerShell, run Test-NetConnection with the address and port from the highlighted line, for example Test-NetConnection 5.78.177.147 -Port 27015.
4. Players in Iran report that the server host blocks their connection. There's no fix for that on your end. unconfirmed

Status

Still open as of build 45.

“did you refresh the brower page and launch the game again?”
