    When attempting to use a proxy with the command (proxy:<ip>:<port>) in the console I get the following error 

    console:1: malformed number near '<ip>'

     

    proxy:61.232.6.164:8081

    console:1: malformed number near '61.232.6.164'

    Exactly why we need a TPT launcher

    In other threads it was said to use the command proxy:{host}:{port} and attempting it in the latest version and the jacob1 mod gives the same error. Those threads are also 3-4 years old.

     

    I have also tried putting the proxy in the .pref file as proxy = "{host}:{port}" but I don't think that worked.

    That doesn't go in the console, it actually goes in the command line when you launch TPT. Create a shortcut and add the proxy command to that. Once you run it once, it will remember it forever in powder.pref

    And yeah ... it's a stupid way of doing it and maybe soon i'll add a textbox in the settings to do proxies.

    Ah that did work, I confused command line as the ingame console. Thanks!

     

    I guess if you put it ingame in the settings would it allow you to switch proxies without having to restart the game?

    Yes, that would be the point :P, and just a lot easier to change in general.
