What's the bug?

Error talking to localhost:XXXXX/checkready

How-To

How do I reproduce this issue?

Trying to open a project.

I know this issue has been raised quite a few times, but no matter what I do, I cannot get this to work. I am constantly getting the error of Error talking to localhost:XXXXX/checkready which eventually leads to Error loading project. I was rally hoping to use this as I do not have a great PC and it struggles to run Visual Studio due to only having 4GB RAM. I am really not sure what to try next. Thank you.

I finally find a answer and its works FINE for me: 1 - check you have msbuild, mono, installed and added to the path,

2 - download one release from that https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/releases (I see the bug is in the Omnisharp for Sublime)

3 - Locate your folder of omnisharp (Sublime 3 Plugins) in this case is C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\OmniSharp\prebuilt-omnisharp-roslyn\prebuilt

4 - extract the omnisharp that you have download from the link below

5 - Replace the content from the prebuilt omnisharp with the new omnisharp release.

6 - Just reopen Sublime and ENJOY.

NOTE: this works if you have the localhost error talking, and if you loose, just remove the Omnisharp Package, and reinstall it and try again.

Are there any detailed instructions on which MSbuild version is required and what path specifically to add?

I've tried adding a path in PATH to 5 different msbuild directories now, (restarted sublime text every time). No luck yet, still the same error as OP.
