Cannot connect to Twitch, retrying in...

[ThisIsCyreX]

Hello 😃

On a freshly installed Windows 11 machine, in the same room and same network - the application isn't able to run.. for some reason.
I deleted the settings/cookies/cache - nothing changes:

Disabled IPv6 on that machine, exception in Windows Defender/Firewall.
The machine is able to connect to m.twitch.tv with Edge and Firefox without problems.
I use the prebuild exe from this repo.

What about accessing https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/validate ? The page should load into a JSON payload that looks like this:

Same result:

I tried this fork, just to see if something changes via Docker.
And yes, via Docker, it connects:

Like I said in this issue, my daily driver had the same issue after a reinstall, but later that day worked for some reason.
But now it just will not connect.

There's no functional difference between the fork and the master build, which leads me to believe it's a matter of the executable issue. Please try running the master build from source, by setting up the runtime environment, etc. There's some instructions on how to do so here: https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/wiki/Setting-up-the-environment,-building-and-running

Once that works, the executable may suddenly start working as well. Please verify that too.

Python312, git 2.43 and latest VS Build Tools 2022:

Run from source or build from source - no changes 🤔

[DevilXD]

Then if you'd try the fork without Docker, it'd still not work - as I said, the fork has no functional difference, the same URLs are accessed, etc.

Fork or not, the issue appears to be somewhere else. But nothing more comes to my mind right now.

[ThisIsCyreX]

Yeah, the fork isn't working from source or without docker too.

I checked via "Resource Monitor" what the application is connecting to:

and my other "good" machine:

Not sure if this helps. It tries/is connecting to fastly cloud services? But not AWS..
But isn't answering the question why.

Looks kinda like a DNS issue to me. Maybe try a ipconfig /flushdns? Set your DNS server to 1.1.1.1 temporarily?

[ThisIsCyreX]

Soo.. it works
Tried different DNS settings without success.
I uninstalled Python, git, VS Studio
ran those commands:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow

and...

Thanks for your help :)
