Unable to connect ARES
-
I already reinstalled Sim4Life Light a couple of times and looked at your troubleshooting tutorial, but nothing helps. As soon as the program starts, in the log Inside the task manager it says "ERROR: Unable to connect to local Ares. Use task manager to manually connect", under network, I try to connect it manually but nothing happens and the disconnect button is constantly unpressable. I try to access Ares from the tray bar but it does not appear and nothing happens if I open it from the installation folder even though according to the PC's task manger it is an active process. I try to access the preferences in the AresApplication folder, but inside the preferences folder there is nothing.
Can you please help me? I am using windows 7 and the most current version of Sim4Life Light

Please check/try the followings:
- "Port to connect to local Ares" in the Preferences of Sim4Life light is set to 18701
- "Port for communication with clients" in the settings of Ares is set to 18701
- Try to temporarily disable your firewall and/or your antivirus and see if that helps
Do you have any other version of Sim4Life previously installed on your computer?
-
I only have version 5.0 on it and I have done 1 and 3, but I can't do 2 since I an unable to access Ares, it won't open on the tray bar and clicking on the AresApplication.exe does nothing.
-
I already did, but I can`t apply any of those fixes since Ares will not open
-
Problem solved, my Antivirus was not letting Ares through.
