355th_Thomp Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 May be this will help: MP timeouts may be tune in D:\11-fr-2\Config\network\config.lua gameTimeout = 10; pingPeriod = 1; maxPacketSize = 500; playerName = "noname"; idleTimeout = 120; Rise these parameters for a server and client (timeout kick may be caused both - from a server and from a client). posted in another thread with the same problems reported. Apparently this fix does help. -Thomp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentEagle Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Ok now what....that makes no sense to me.... rise these parameters...what do i do to them...how the hell would that help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cFoX Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I have a same problem. I can join, select coalition/plane and then when I click on FLY and mission loads, mostly looks like server kicks me out on debrifing. Sometimes i find myself in cockpit with message "Press Pause (S) to Start" (!?) I can fly, but nobody can see me in servers players list. I suppose that server kicked me, but my game still running. Sometimes I get error message and the game crashes to desktop ! I can connect after about 20 tries :confused: and then everything is normal. And there is one more strange thing: it takes a verry long time to mission to load (about 5 minutes) :icon_excl Never had problems before (1.0, 1.01, 1.02) ! My config: AMD64 Athlon 2800+ MB: Gigabyte K8NS 512 MB DDR 400 ATI Radeon 9600 Pro .......... I'm connecting to the Internet through the NAT Router/Firewall. Any advices ? Thanks.

SilentEagle Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 changing those values did not help...btw server changed theirs too...so i am lost here... oh and to FOX: I cannot connect to any games at all we have slightly different problems but i will agree that multiplayer in 1.1 is screwed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504MrWolf Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 myself and 3 other 504 members had the same problem.......it seems that 1.1 takes longer to load and ED have set the timeout setting LOW so when your game loads in the end youve actually been kicked !!! This would seem to be a ED oversight and more and more players are having the same prob. Resolution is to buy 1 gig of RAM !! These are the setting that fixed my problem but it also needs to be server side : MP timeouts may be tune in x: your lockon install directory \Config\network\config.lua gameTimeout = 600; pingPeriod = 1; maxPacketSize = 500; playerName = "noname"; idleTimeout = 600; www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
169th_Cobra Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Silenteagle ... just a thought here, but could it be that you've got the F16 mod on your system and because the server now forces its settings on you it is flipping out?? Has anyone else using the aircraft mods been able to join a game online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no one here has any ideas on this...no devs know either!!??!?!?!?!?!!??!? That would be total BS if i am not able to play online in 1.1!?!??!?!?!! Calm down pal. Wait for a 1.1 patch. I know that waiting sucks, and you waited a lot, but thats all we can do. Even the devs cant do anything, except the patch of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentEagle Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Uh yeah good idea.... but uh yeah so i am supposed to not fly with my squad for months at a time....considering that is how long it would take to make a patch for lomac!!

EvilBivol-1 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Guys, I don't think this is a "patch" issue. We are simply not yet aware of all the nuances in the new settings. Chances are there is a simple fix. We just need to be patient and let things come in their order. Its the weekened and there're plenty of other important issues they've got to deal with come monday. For my part, I can further what Han suggested, which is to raise the time-out number on both your and the host machine. Currently it stand at 10 sec. See if you can raise to 60 sec. or something and if that will help. Let me know if that helps, EB-1 - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

Jester_159th Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 It's the weekend. Chances are that ED's staff aren't at work. Calm down and wait to see if something comes out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj_Anzac Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 You must make sure both the SERVER and CLIENT use the new settings wolf posted or the problem wont be solved. VVS 504th Red Hammers Bomberwing CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawnDart Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 You'll have to excuse my friend SilentEagle, he can be a little "hot headed" sometimes as I'm sure you can tell! This is why we call him "Screamin'Eagle" (or just Seagle) sometimes...:icon_wink Thanks for everyone's input however and since it seems this is a rather big issue, I'm sure there will be a fix soon - but in the mean time we need to keep looking for solutions. I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow (not home yet) and who knows, I might run into the same problems myself? All we do in the Virtual Thunderbirds is online flying, so we do or die when it comes to this!!!

coldcrew Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 The problem is not the timeout but rather large multiplayer missions. Don't create missions with a 100 units and 20 AI planes, it takes FOREVER to load especially with the texture addon. I'm thinking of removing the textures to see if it reduces the loading time significatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
