How to use Connect

Hi!

Could you tell me if players from Russia are unable to use Connect?

When I go to Modifications > Add Mod > Connect, the page loads, but most of the images don’t appear; instead, they display a “loading error, try again” message. I also can’t download anything—the download simply doesn’t start.

When I try to register for CLO, absolutely none of the buttons work. I’ve tried using various VPNs, but none of them helped resolve the issue. The CLO registration page opens without a VPN too, but registration is impossible because the site doesn’t respond when I click the checkboxes to agree to the terms and the “Sign in with Google” button doesn’t work either :sob:

I just checked Connect without a VPN from Germany and everything worked flawlessly, as you can see in the screenshot:

Is your browser or antivirus software blocking anything secretly maybe? :thinking: I used to have an issue with my antivirus software blocking some parts of this forum, but after re-installing and cleaning cookies, etc. it worked again.

Helloooo
It seems this is actually an issue with the Russian internet :frowning:
However, I managed to find a solution, so for any players in Russia facing the same problem: first, enable your bypass tool (I use zapret-discord-youtube-1.9.9c), then download and launch CloudWare (click “Connect”). Connect only started working with this specific combination. Also, remove CloudWare from your startup programs, as it can cause general internet connection instability; use it only when absolutely necessary.

Для всех игроков из России, у кого та же проблема: включите сначала обход (у меня zapret-discord-youtube-1.9.9c), затем скачайте и включите cloudware (нажмите подключить). Только с такой комбинацией Connect заработал. Также уберите CloudWare из авто-загрузок, потому что из-за него может быть нестабильное подключение к интернету в принципе, используйте его только когда это действительно необходимо
