Hello,
I run a self-hosted server on a cloudhoster. Everthing worked fine, till today. I tried to connect to the server an got following error:
"Failed to connect to server (Invalid session)" see screenshot
The Serverversion and the Clientversion are both the tatest Minecraft Java-Edition 1.16.2
Yesterday it worked perfect.
I think it's an account issue, but I don't know…
I tried the following:
Restarting the game
Restarting the launcher
Restarting the router
Restarting the minecraft-server
Restarting the remote machine
Re"install" the server.jar with wget on the remote server
Reinstall the Minecraft program on my mac
Nothing worked...
But I read that the online mode could help. If I set
online-mode=false
it could work... Because I don't need an real online server I tried this out. My friends and I connect direct to that IP.
Now I can connect, but my items, stats also are all gone ... they were saved on the online account I think... so I changed it back...
Now I running again in this issue
How can I fix this please?
