NodeMcu not connecting to Blynk local server

Thank you.
Just curious to know, the changes came with the new version of library or the latest server ?
m i doing right ?//char server[] = “192.168.1.169”; before
//Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, server, 8080); before
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,169), 8080); After

But even after this the serial monitor shows error, never outputs

this is all i am getting.
but surprisingly the nodemcu connects to the server, but the code is not working as it should. (this is the same code i was using from many months) and was working fine.

Is it something to do with the Arduino IDE or is it with my Nodemcu ?
i also updated the blynk server to the latest build. But am not getting the thing right.:disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved:
