tried to ping those addresses. the ipv4 works, the ipv6 doesn't. if that's the address of the new server and it's going to get official saturday, I can just stay put until saturday. but how do I set that up as the new server for widelands? and how exactly do I use a vpn to try to fix my problem?

You have to add the line
in the conf file of widelands. In the section [global]. Edited: 2019-06-20, 13:59

New development I recovered build19 from launchpad and tried it, it worked perfectly. However, I'm not sure I'm connected to the same server; I probably am not. It must have shifted something in the config files, because now I can also join multiplayer with build20, but I see lobby empty... when there is a game scheduled just now. So, I think I've just been sent to a different server. Someone said that on saturday server is going to change; does that mean that on sunday I should be able to play? Exactly when I can try?

Have you removed the 'metaserver' entry in the conf file when trying to connect with build19? Fight simulator for Widelands: |

Regarding the down time: It should last approximately 1 hour, so playing on sunday will surely be possible. I guess on saturday afternoon it will be possible also. Fight simulator for Widelands: |

yes, the line was removed. Oh, still a difference. I cannot actually connect to an existing account. On build 20, I can connect if I do not select "connect to an existing account", otherwise it says it lost connection to the metaserver. On build 19, I can connect if I do not connect to an existing account, but if I try to connect to an existing account, it says "password wrong". checked three times, the password is correct (it's the same for this account, right?). I even tried to make a new account, does not work. So, looks like even build19 cannot really connect. EDIT: this is my log here
this is frist without logging to an existing account
and this is trying to connect to an existing account. they doo completely different things Edited: 2019-06-20, 18:14

No, you have to set password for the game here: https://wl.widelands.org/ggz/changepw on your profile page. Top Quote |

You were connected to the new metaserver, I found the entry in the logs. There has to be a "metaserver" line somewhere in your config file, maybe it was moved further down when the game rewrote the file? The problems with the login are probably (hopefully) due to a wrong password. Top Quote |
