How I fixed my disconnected from server loop
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2026 9:18 am
I had troubles connecting the last few weeks, getting connect -> disconnected from server over and over again. It seems like the DNS server resolver isn't working as expected from my location, so here is a quick fix (that will probably stop working at some point):
- Open a terminal, powershell, whatever your OS supports
- Run 'nslookup play.octowow.st'
- Look for the IP address:

- Replace the play.octowow.st in your realmlist.wtf file with the IP you get back.
Worked like a charm for me, I am able to connect every time now, without issues or disconnects.
