If you're trying this on mobile data, could you try on Wi-Fi instead, and vice versa? Also, have you modified your network in any way, like a VPN or Tor?

[juacq97]

I tried with both data and wifi and without sucess. My network is normal, I did't modified in any way

@opusforlife2 i don't believe it is a network issue since it happens to me whenever i import my old settings. you can actually get the same error if you import them with your DB file as well !
the settings file:

[juacq97]

I deleted the data and loaded my configs and now it's working

[opusforlife2]

So corrupt DB caused this. Since the solution provided by @panacist worked, this means this is a duplicate of #3753.
