1) Problem started when I closed out of Town of Salem, decided to try Traitors of Salem. Closed down Traitors of Salem, came back to play some more Town of Salem
2) Now it gives me, "Connection failed: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
3) Closed Town of Salem, closed Steam. Cleared Steam game cache. Relogged into Steam. Problem persists.
4) Restarted computer. Cleared Steam game cache again to be sure. Relogged into Steam. Problem persists.
5) Internet is fine, Steam is not in offline mode (able to play other games). Disconnected from wifi based on a response I saw on some message board with this same problem, reconnected to wifi. No change, same error message.
6) Seems like, unless this was a coincidence, something about logging into Traitors broke my Town of Salem. The only thing I haven't tried is deleting and redownloading the game, but I strongly suspect it's something on the server side.
7) Need help. Would love to play this game, but apparently I will not be able to play it tonight, have to go to bed. Really wanted that "one more game" before bed, I regret ever booting up Traitors
Please help, thanks!
