Cursor 1.0.0 not working but 0.50 works

Bug Reports
1

Hi all,

I’m encountering persistent connectivity issues with Cursor 1.0.0, while version 0.5 continues to work without any problems in the same environment. This is happening for an update from 0.50 to 1.0 or a clean install.
I renamed folders (not deleted):
C:\Users\user\.cursor
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Cursor

:test_tube: Bug Summary

  • DNS resolution is successful and consistent (both IPv4 and IPv6) for api2.cursor.sh and marketplace.cursorapi.com.
  • Connection fails within the Cursor 1.0.0 app itself, despite external tools resolving correctly.
  • Verified across multiple DNS resolvers (local, Cloudflare, Google 8.8.8.8).
  • No firewall, proxy, or host-level blocking is in place.
  • Running over a TLS 1.3-VPN, fragmented packets, IP geolocation in AWS Netherlands.

Wireshark outside the Cursor seems working:

Query: A, AAAA -> api2.cursor.sh
Response: CNAME chain → api2geo → api2direct → multiple A records (e.g., 52.206.197.22)

Query: A, AAAA -> marketplace.cursorapi.com
Response: Multiple valid A records (e.g., 54.86.196.189, 35.169.198.175)

TLS Handshakes: Attempted to multiple IPs (e.g., 172.67.126.242, 93.123.102.179)
TCP ACKs & TLSv1.2 Application Data seen, but client does not complete session.

:puzzle_piece: Hypothesis

This appears to be a client-level regression or configuration or account-level issue introduced in Cursor 1.0.0. Anybody confirming this, or know the fix for the issue?

Thanks in advance for any insights or patches you can provide!

Can you open powershell and run:

curl.exe --trace-time -v https://api2.cursor.sh

This is the output from the terminal:

Welcome to Cursor. From 0.305.4386-main-152376e9fa906b16dd948e443808d728d6fcd3e4 (j7fi13k3x4irqdiuccgudq) in 0.011941000120714307ms.* Connection #0 to host api2.cursor.sh left intact

Why do we have connectivity on the terminal or any other place, but the Cursor could not find the api url? For the record, proxy settings in Cursor and VS Code are empty and version 0.50 is working on these settings.

Thanks. This is quite strange.

Can you check >Developer: Toggle Developer Tools and see if there are any errors shown?

How about under >Output: Focus on Output View then select Extension Host in the dropdown. Any errors there?
