Hi Guys,

My Rv-House is stuck at "updating contact nodes" since I have reinstalled it.

I can't get p2p for almost 3 weeks, it started for no apparent reason.

I deleted my contacts.dat and kadc.ini and since then no p2p.

When I start Rv-House it shows updating contact nodes ... forever...

I've exposed my pc to the internet (firewall / anti-virus off, router on dmz to my ip) and still can't get past it.

I have 47624 TCP and 2300-2400 TCP/UDP open.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Touriga

Ask someone nice (so not me) who can connect to the p2p to give you his contact.dat that you will put in your data folder of rvhouse ...
It should work because I already gave mine in the past and it solved the problem.
Do not thank me in advance, but you can KMA :-)

P2P is something kinda blocked on some ISPs/firewalls.
contact.dat is rather dynamic but i guess the bootstrap is shared
i've tried deleting that and kadc.ini. that worked and didnt work
since p2p isnt essential for playing you can safely ignore issues with it. they're temporal anyway
i had an occasion where one computer would connect to p2p and the other wouldnt

Nodes need to be updated sometimes ...
If in the default installation they are not, it is much more complicated to connect or it takes much longer.
This is exactly like with eMule and Kademlia (I guess Rvhouse uses it).
Sometimes it was necessary to update the list of nodes or else it was impossible to connect to Kad.
Touriga must test to replace his contact.dat in first to see.

On Win10
- remplacing kadc.ini and contact.dat
- start Rv-House as administrator

And P2P is back !
