ive tried everything the other commenter mentioned and i can't log into the old account i had (tried it a few versions ago), reset the password on that old account, or create a new one with a different email. i have uninstalled, reinstalled, used both the itch.io app and just downloading it off the itch.io website itsel, im running the latest version (1.2.95, but i cant comment on that post) and it's just not working. everything gives an error message. it really really sucks bc this seems like it would work way better for me than something like pinterest (which i have been using but has been seriously going down the drain with ai moderation flagging things completely arbitrarily) and i really want the chance to see if it would
hi there!
If it is the issue with public/private network, try allowing it access to the local network (it needs to run a localhost server to work. by default I think it runs at localhost:3077)
if that still doesn't fix it:
1. make sure there is no firewall or other program blocking it from running on localhost on port 3077
2. if it's not that, could you share the error message you are seeing? if you could take a screenshot of the error that would also be very helpful.
3. if you have steps to reproduce the issue (example: 1. open the app 2. try to log in 3. etc) that could also help
4. are you on windows or macos?
With that extra information I can look into it and try to help
hello again! i still seem not to be able to create an account/still getting the same error, so i'm wondering if it's something i'm doing. when i've installed synthona, and it gives an option for which networks i can use it on, i always uncheck public, and check off private, since this is my home pc. could this be causing a connection error somehow..?
Hi! Yes, I think checking off "private" would cause the problem. The way Synthona currently works is that it runs a closed server on localhost, on the local network. It does not connect to any online services or anything, the server only accepts network connections from within the same device, but it will require private network access at least to access itself.
The reason it works like this is historical in nature:
Synthona was originally written as 2 independent components, a server and a user interface. The idea was that maybe someday it would be interesting to access other servers. I had an idea that it might someday allow for P2P connections of some sort, though currently that sort of functionality is disabled. There is actually a whitelist in the code which determines which IP addresses can access synthona and by default, it only allows for connections from on the PC running synthona. Basically, it's currently a closed loop because I haven't had a chance to really dig into writing more interesting network features yet
TL;DR: I think if you allow for private network access that will fix it. the only public call that happens is to check github for a new version of synthona. so if you disallow public access, I did see a minor error on startup but I think you can ignore it. I was able to run the app with my wifi disabled after ignoring it
ahaa, my bad. i'm glad i asked about it, then. my next problem is that i can't seem to figure out how to change this setting for synthona in windows 10.. would you happen to know? heheh;;
ohh i might have found it actually, gonna try something in windows Allowed Apps settings
YAHOO IT WORKS! ok, so i had to delete some extra instances or whatever of synthona from the allowed apps list, and i gave it another uninstall and reinstall, then it gave me the network prompt again. i left it at its default public setting, and then create an account worked! sorry if this was all my own confusion LOL.. but thank you for getting back to me so quick and helping! <3
woo! glad to hear you got it working 👍
