The error message (which you can't see) is probably telling you that your Internet connection is blocking Melondream's UDP packets. Are you connecting from work or public WiFi?

Btw, the lesson here for developers is: don't use UDP, use TCP. We made a big mistake

Any idea when this mistake will be resolved?

The system was built from the ground up to use forward error correction over UDP. The point was to allow a much less expensive, super-efficient server. We had no idea how poorly UDP is treated on the Internet. Huge, fatal mistake
