Hi, was wondering if anybody could help me with a strange problem.

 

Whenever I host a game, the clients will always get disconnected shortly after they spawn and start up their aircraft.

 

The server is visible on the master list and the clients have no problem connecting initially. We are able to communicate via the text chat and are able to see each others aircraft.

 

However, we are unable to see each others aircraft start engines or, if already airborne, manoeuvre around. Strangely, we can see weapons fire from each others aircraft and details such as doors opening etc... but the aircraft itself will appear to sit motionless on the tarmac or fly in a perfectly straight line even though it is actually turning, taxiing etc...

 

After a couple of minutes, all clients will be disconnected getting a "server timeout" message.

 

I have the correct ports opened in my firewall and router and the behaviour persists even if I close the firewall.

 

I've tried all sorts of tweaks and tests but still at a loss to explain and fix the problem. Hoping somebody around here can help... thanks in advance :D

We had sync failures when we didn't resave the mission with each update in The server computer mission editor. Resembled what you're talking about.

 

Also may need to disable the load timeout in server.lua. I need to go find that thread and link to it... Be a few minutes.

 

Here it is:

What are the ping values to the clients - look in the Player pool window - ' key?

 

Are they up around 300? 200 or so should be fine. Even 300 should work, but that's getting up there.

 

Can anyone connect successfully?
