Good evening.
I’m trying with Redux 3.05.
I have the database running without issues.
I started the server from Visual Studio, assigned my IP address (192.168.1.113), and connected to the database.
I downloaded the 5065 client.
I downloaded and placed the Conquer loader in the client’s root folder.
I updated the IP in the LoaderSet.ini file (192.168.1.113).
I ran the client from ConquerLoader.exe.
However, I always get the "Server under maintenance" message.

I’m planning to upload a video of the process to see if I’m doing something wrong because nothing seems to work. I appreciate your help.

Have you checked your firewall settings to make sure you're letting the port through? And do you have the correct port set for your account server?

Yes, I even disabled the firewall, and still, it's always the same error.

Do you have the right server selected? In some server projects, you may need to make sure the server name matches in the client and database. Try Dark (that's a default a lot of servers use around that patch).

Do you know in which table the server name configuration might be?

I'm not sure, but there's a video for that project:

I followed every step in the video exactly, which is why I asked where I can check the server details because I select that exact same one, but it keeps giving me the same error.

Looking at the project, it looks like it creates an INI file named after your computer. And that contains the server name, game port, login port, and game IP address. With the error you're getting right now, I'd make especially sure that login port matches what's in the client, and that you select a server name in the client that matches the config.

When running the project in Visual Studio, it loads the computer name, the server name [Redux], I add the IP address, which is always 192.168.1.113, and input the database connection details, which are root and the respective password. This works correctly. I noticed that when doing this in debug mode, it creates the mentioned files, and they have the correct data.

This might be a silly question, but have you already changed the server name from Redux in the config to Light? If not, I'd try that. Else, maybe you have the wrong launcher? I know someone made a launcher with the same name (so make sure you download the right one from this forum).

I was having the same problem you had. And what I identified while debugging the project is that it was running in its 32bits version in my 64bit version machine so the encryption and decryption of packets weren't working during the login.

It could match login and password from the DB, but when it ws supposed to enter, it just didnt work, like yours.

There's a dll in your project that takes care of the encryption using OpenSSL if i'm not mistaken. And that one is 32 bits.

I don't remember the name of the file and unfortunatelly I couldn't make this source work on my machine.

Maybe this information could help with the investigation.

Oh! Thanks for the additional context. Yeah, hopefully that helps narrow it down. Shame that a lot of these projects are that old and unmaintained.
