Cant connect

[AirAerilAir]

A few months ago I tried setting up Lich with Genie, never worked, I uninstalled ruby & just deleted lich as there is no uninstall for it.

Decided to give it another shot, reinstalled ruby with both the path & associate boxes checked. fresh dl's of both ruby & Lich to a win10 system.
Also did this as recommended on the dr discord...When you goto install Lich which is step 3 under: https://lichproject.org/download.html#win_storm_wiz_lich, before you double click and run lich on step 5, type the following command: gem source -a http://rubygems.org/ (( Make sure to run as Admin ))

So, now I can log into lich in both sge & sf, sf settings to local just in case. Did the fork to go to genie.

Open up genie, dont log in yet.. open windows command prompt (admin version).. see the window is listening on port 4901 & waiting. Grab genie & log into a preset character.. get where its trying to connect to eaccount then closing, if I hit look here it logs me out as invalid key. If I can push past this point, which it usually doesnt, it keeps trying to reconnect...if I get to connecting to dr.simu.. it just hangs until the windows prompt gives up then it connects without lich.

It was suggested I look at my host file, no 127.0.0.1 info, just the info with the pound signs. So was suggested I try hand adding it.. nope, nothing different. Remove it, still not adding.

If I set up a look trigger, then it tells me invalid key at the eacct info. If I try hand doing the look, same thing.

I did the downloads & such of scripts & all that, I'm running what I need to as admin.
Lousy win10 system. I am so not in the mood to redo a win10 fresh install along with about 50-75 gbs of download programs on a 5gb monthly sat connection.
I logged in & asked in the help channel not realizing it was mainly GS folks :( My bad, sorry. They tried but not being familar with genie the only one who seemed to know about it said they would have to dig into it.

Any ideas?

I think the hosts file is a red herring, it will only have the redirect in place during the time when the listening on port blah message is active, as soon as the connection is made lich should be swapping back the old hosts file. Also the fact that you're able to somewhat connect makes it feel like that's not the problem. You might try looking in the lich log files to see if you're getting any error messaging.

Its not even creating any logs with genie as I'm guessing its because its not connecting. I'm guessing its something to do with Genie as I can connect via sge & sf with lich.

@AirAerilAir have there been any updates on this?

4901 is the wrong port. Need to download the correct rbw from this fork. I believe you're likely using 4.6.49. It should listen to 11024 for dragonrealms.

@rcuhljr I had a similar issue on both my laptop and tower when installing lich. For some reason, after install with the windows 10 installer and the initial setup within StormFront; Genie, Frostbite, and StormFront would not connect alone nor with lich. I did a complete reinstall then downloaded the DR-lich rbw and everything is running fine. If @AirAerilAir was also using that installer, or an older version of lich, there could be an issue there.
