13 February 2026 - Autohost host refuses connections

[johan-boule]

One day, one breakage.
Starting today, all Autohost games refuse me to join. WZ prints the following message:

error   |16:34:42: [tryNextConnectionOption:1192] Cannot resolve host "159.195.72.194": [10060]: Connection timed out
info    |16:34:42: [handleFailure:1071] Failed to join with error: Failed to open connection: [10060] Connection timed out

You appear to be using automated techniques to connect to the Autohost, taking up (finite) slots from human players / spectators.

You also appear to have repeatedly attempted to bypass rate (and other) limits.

The Autohost is intended to provide games for humans to play and spectate. 👍
