Failed to connect, Couldn't reach front server for public key

Post by erayayay »

When I try to enter the farming simulator 19 multiplayer that I downloaded from epic games, it gives the error failed to connect before the server list opens. When I look at the logs I see this:

2024-01-07 20:59 [EpicStoreAuth] Query Ownership Token started
2024-01-07 20:59 [EpicStoreAuth] Query Ownership Token complete
2024-01-07 20:59 Warning: Couldn't reach front server for public key.
2024-01-07 20:59 Error: Failed to connect

My firewall is off, antivirus is off and the upnp setting on the modem interface is on

This appears to be a relatively common problem now, that many of us are fighting with. So far, to the best of my knowledge, there is no fix. At least a couple of us are pursuing Giants tech support about this, but they are unfortunately yet to acknowledge the problem. It is extraordinarily frustrating as it makes multiplayer impossible. There are multiple threads in this forum about it, starting from years ago already:

I have the very same error in the log, by the way.

Did yours used to work, and then suddenly start doing this? Mine worked fine for years on the identical setup I am running now. Then out of the blue in December it stopped connecting and will not join the server no matte what I try.

Have you had any luck resolving this? I remain stuck with it. I've tried every fix I can find online and from a couple friends who work in IT.

Have you found a fix for this? Has Giants responded to your support ticket on the bugtracker? They finally replied to mine and told me there is no problem :confusednew: :confusednew: Mine still doesn't work.

I wish I had something to offer you. Giants continues to completely ignore me and the many other frustrated players in the same situation, despite all of our inquiries into this very unfortunately common problem. It is extraordinarily maddening.
