Can't create account
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:17:22 pm »
Okay, well I've searched extensively but I've been unable so far to find a solution. My problem is that I can't create an account in the client, or log into an account (not that I have one for lack of being able to create one). When I try to create an account, the screen just stays on "Contacting Audiosurf Server...", and does not progress. It doesn't freeze, and I can click the "Back" button just fine and return to the game (when I return to "Create An Account" after this, it returns to "Contacting Audiosurf Server...", by the way). Audiosurf/QuestViewer are added to my list of firewall exceptions, and I can't think of anything else that could be blocking it. I can see and access the Audiosurf news client as the game loads, if that's of any use.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

Tried verifying the game files through Steam? Instructions in a sticky thread in troubleshooting if you hadn't seen it.
Austria is just like Yorkshire, but they have bigger hills.... oh and they have real snow too

I've tried verifying, then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling audiosurf completely, but neither was to any avail; I still have the same issue.

Is Internet Explorer set to Online Mode?

I'm pretty sure it is... At least, I can open it and access sites such as audio-surf.com and such.

Okay, then it's in Online Mode.

Is your firewall / antivirus (antimalware?) software set to permit AudioSurf outgoing and incoming access?

Audiosurf is in the list on Firewall exceptions (and is checked obviously), and AVG doesn't appear to be blocking it in any way that I know of.

Is Internet Explorer set as your default browser?

I don't think IE being the default browser or not affects Audiosurf. I know you said AVG seems not to block it in any way, but I'd trying disabling it temporarily anyway...

Can confirm. My default is Firefox and I surf without problem.

I disabled AVG's components, but alas, still have the same issue.

You could try logging into Steam on a different computer, downloading AudioSurf, creating an account there, and then seeing if you can log in to that account on your main computer.

Yeesh. Guess I'll try that today. I needed to visit my brother anyway.

Okay, finally managed to get to use his laptop, downloaded Audiosurf, made an account; BAM, working account created and usable on that laptop. Went back to my computer, tried to log in with that same account - didn't progress past "logging in". Dammit.
