latest version still getting the infinite verification #128

Closed gradyhouston closed 2 years ago

gradyhouston commented 2 years ago

Using the latest version 0.10.3.0, I'm still getting the infinite verification loop in Chromium. No matter how many times I "complete" the slider, it just refreshes back to the bot verification. Below is the error when I eventually have to close the Chromium browser. I've searched current/past issues and found the post where this was fixed in the latest version, but something is still blocking the verification. I also tried an older version, 0.9.4.2 because others said this version worked, but it also failed to pass the bot verification.

Unless a lot of other people report it, I think this is an issue with patreon's datadome protection having more strict rules for your ISP. If that is the case I can do nothing about that other than recommend you to use VPN.

Try using Cloudflare WARP. Make sure "1.1.1.1 with WARP" mode is enabled. If that doesn't work try using fully featured VPN.

If you have an antivirus or firewall installed on your PC might be worth a try to completely disable it.

Running into the same issue here.. I've tried with antivirus and firewall both on and totally disabled, over a VPN connection and without it.

We are currently trying to figure out another connection/datadome problem in #125, if we'll be able to figure out what is wrong there it might also fix this issue.

@AlexCSDev thank you for your work, but I also get the infitine verification on version 0.10.3.0. I't doesn't work even with a fully featured VPN. I am using windows 10. @gradyhouston were you also using windows 10? Perhaps it would work on linux?

Seems like this cannot be fixed. Wait for the new version to be released and then just wait a day or two and it should work fine. https://github.com/AlexCSDev/PatreonDownloader/issues/125#issuecomment-1171281572

Actually I might have fixed it. Please continue the discussion of this issue in: https://github.com/AlexCSDev/PatreonDownloader/issues/125
