So, I have 1.7.9 and I can't connect to any servers. Each time, I get one of two errors. One that says authentication are down for maintenance.
The other error says something like session not valid. (Try restarting your game)
I am not sure what's going on..Can anyone help?
I tried 5 servers, all had green, only one said red and said offline but I didn't even try that one.
Thanks guys! Im a newb, and want my kids to be able to play online, the real way!
I used to get that error too but what solved it for me was I restarted my router and my modem. Usually this error occurs because there is a firewall blocking Minecraft from communicating with the Minecraft servers.Another thing to check is when you clicked play to play Minecraft did you click "Play" or "Play Offline" if you clicked play offline make sure your connected to the internet if you aren't restart your Minecraft launcher.
For me it was a firewall in my modem (yes some ISPs are weird and put firewalls in their modems) that was blocking Minecraft sometimes.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention this probably because I was tiered when I wrote this...you may also want to make sure that the Minecraft servers are not down when you are trying to join/login to a server, you can check this here: http://xpaw.ru/mcstatus/.
Also if you're confused or don't understand something don't be afraid to ask .
Let me know if this helps!
