Hey @Sporekid

 

Don't worry, I am here to help 🙂

 

Have you also tried checking your hosts file? If not, try this:

 

1. open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)
2. go to File - Open and navigate to

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

3. Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open.
4. The file is opened. You will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like

0.0.0.0 website.com
127.0.0.1 website2.com

Check for any entries with spotify or fastly in the address. Examples may look like:

0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com
0.0.0.0 prod.b.ssl.us-eu.fastlylb.net 

(and any variations inbetween)
5. If you do find any, you can delete the line. You can also add a # in front of the line, that's 'commenting out'.
6. Save your changes. Restart Spotify.

You can also try removing all lines to see what happens.

 

Let me know how it goes 🙂

This still has not been fixed. and i have tried the method you have given me

Hey @Sporekid,

 

Please try another network connection if possible. Try it in another device with similar specs.

You can also try to run in the PowerShell or CMD with administrator privileges this either this command: sfc /scannow or DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Check this guide for more 🙂

 

Let me know how it goes.

None of these solutions have worked whatsoever, i have looked online more to no aveil.
