AB2 on Windows 10 virtual machine

Home Forums Angry Birds 2 Forum AB2 on Windows 10 virtual machine

  • Hello people,

    I need advice. I’ve been trying to run AB2 on VMware VM (Workstation Pro) for some time, but without success. I have two accounts and don’t want to reinstall all the time, hence the VM.

    It’s a fresh install of Windows 10 and I am trying to start up AB2 for the first time, but I am getting ” Connection Error, check your internet connection”. The VM has access to the Internet, it’s adapter is bridged to the host’s one and speed test shows 100Mbit/sec dl/upl. Firewall is disabled, no antivirus is installed and I have no trouble opening web pages, videos, etc.

    So, the issue I have is AB2 itself. For some reason it won’t connect to the Internet. The host is also on Windows 10 and runs AB2 just fine, here is the communication:
    TCP 127.0.0.1:49940 127.0.0.1:49941 ESTABLISHED 6368
    [Angry Birds 2.exe]
    TCP 127.0.0.1:49941 127.0.0.1:49940 ESTABLISHED 6368
    [Angry Birds 2.exe]

    [Angry Birds 2.exe]
    TCP 192.168.100.64:49913 35.241.52.229:443 TIME_WAIT 0
    TCP 192.168.100.64:49914 52.84.114.172:443 TIME_WAIT 0
    TCP 192.168.100.64:49915 52.84.114.172:443 TIME_WAIT 0

    TCP 192.168.100.64:49920 52.84.114.172:443 TIME_WAIT 0
    TCP 192.168.100.64:49922 52.155.217.156:443 ESTABLISHED 10484

    I used telnet and connected to 55.155.217.156:443 on the VM without problem.
    One public IP is used, all devices have their own private IP’s behind a router, whether it’s by Wi-Fi or direct LAN, no issues with connectivity to AB2 for them – two laptops, two desktop PCs, tablet and phones. I know, I know, but we are big family and everyone is playing AB2. :) That is why I am trying so hard to run it on the VM, not enough devices for everyone.
    I tried to fix the issue by setting static private IP, but it did not work, just as with automatic settings.
    Has anyone tried to run AB2 on VM and did you have such trouble? How did you resolve it? To my surprise I did not find anything in Google, I guess not many people have tried it, or at least haven’t posted so far.

    Thanks
