    Solution to HTTP 500 error

    Connect to a VPN and problem solved. The simplest way to do this is:

    1. Download and install the Opera GX browser: https://www.opera.com/gx
    2. Enable the Opera VPN addon: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensio...ils/opera-vpn/
    3. Activate the VPN via the VPN button on your browser
    4. Connect to game as normal, works for both Unity and Client.

    Edit 1: Shorter URL for sharing with fellow Guildies: tinyurl.com/TSO-HTTP500-Fix
    Edit 2: When connecting to a VPN select a country outside the UK.
    Edit 3: Your browser should have its own VPN option so search for that first or try Opera as above.
    Edit 4: You can also try and use your browsers "incognito" or "private" tab option.

    I installed ZenMate free VPN for chrome, though I am in UK, the game now thinks I am in Germany and it works, both with Unity and with the client. Make sure after installing the VPN, that you activate it

    Question: How can you solve a "Internal server error", which is the Error 500 explanation, by using something external like a VPN?

    I might be blond but, if the engine is broken you can't solve it by starting with it with another or new boot..

    Or am I completely out of the park here?

    HTTP 500 error is about as vague as a weather reporter just saying "It is going to rain". Somewhere a block of IP addresses have become blocked from accessing the TSO server. A VPN bypasses that blocked range but only if you select a VPN country outside of the UK. Some players inside the UK can connect but most can't so it is very random for now.

    Thumbs up

    It's a good solution. Yet more hoops to jump through

    I was just sitting here pondering how the fuck do I tell BB I can't get fucking on when I can't get fucking on to say it.

    Must be a lot of people out like me. And I'm not even in the UK. Or maybe that's the problem because my inbox was full of trades form UK guildies.

    I wasn't going to bother with the hoops but as I was already on Opera a simple "click green enable button" sorted me. This must be a bottom performance from BB.
