Autorouter no longer working

Hi I've run into a problem with the autorouter.  I'm using a local installation of the autorouter (running on Ubuntu 18.04) and when running the autorouter in local mode it appears to be hanging.  However, when I look at the autorouter log file, I can see that it stops as soon as it starts, writing only the following messages. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-Connection established\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Start routing... Routing \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-Connection closed\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- I don't know what has caused this, but it was working perfectly ok only a short time ago, running and completing the routes in a matter of seconds.  I added a few text labels to the PCB and then it failed...removing these has not fixed the problem.   I did notice earlier that it seemed to be failing if I had the Real-time Display option checked on the Auto Router Config screen, then it worked ok when this was unchecked.  Maybe that is just coincidental but it might be significant in diagnosing what's going wrong here. BTW, it times out due to lack of resources if I use the cloud option - this doesn't really shed much light on the issue because I'm guessing it could fail for different reasons and still give that message? Has anyone else hit this problem and fixed it? Cheers, Mike

Auto router is not good enough, suggest routing manually, recommed "Routing Confilct - TrackArroud" at the right-hand panel. Sometimes, if you can't get it done, try the tips below. \- Make sure the net of PCB doesn't contain the special charaters\, such as  ; \~ \ / \[ \] =  etc\. the chrarter \- and \_ are supported\. \- Make sure the board oultine is closed\, doesn't has board oultine overlap situation\. \- Make sure there are no DRC cleance errors \(short circuit issue\)\, such as two different network pads overlapping\, or different net pads in the same location within the package\. \- Make sure no footprint outside the board outline\. \- Use local auto router rather than cloud server\. \- Make sure PCB rule doesn't have 3 decimal places\, EasyEDA auto router only support 2 decimal places\. \- Skip the GND nets\, add copper area to GND net\. \- Use small tracks and small clearance\, but make sure the value is more than 6mil\. \- Route some key tracks manually before auto routing and ignore them when auto routing\. \- Add more layers\, 4 layers or 6 layers\. but that will make more cost\. \- Change the components layout\, make them have more space between each other\. \- Don't make any via/pad overlap the different objects which can be set the net\. \- Stop the auto\-router\, close the script\, and re\-open the script to run local auto\-router server again\. \- Sometimes\, The auto\-router won't work at the first time\, please modify the layout and try serveral times\. if it still fail, suggest routing manually, it is not good enough, we will wirte a new one, but now we need to develop some feature fisrt, there is no plan yet.

Thankyou for these suggestions Support team. I have modified my NETs so that I have no special characters, I did have + and - in the names.  Not sure if this is/was the cause of the issue but it's now working once again.

@UserSupport Thanks very much for your comment. I had an autorouting "just keep on routing". The "/" in one of my texts causes this. I removed the slash and it works wonderfully!
