[ut3] Dropped Players & Cant Reconnect problem

Tue Oct 23 11:10:06 EDT 2007

Hi,

I think Ryan cannot fix this, I think the problem is in the beta and the
server browser + stats logger. And can only be fixed if the original code is
fixed. But I won't spam this mail list with guesses and assuming. But it's
likely the community behind UT is not linux pro's who like to beta test at
all. All they want is to play online, and that isn't working smooth. So
naturally people will nag about this, cause it's a bit weird EPIC releases a
beta demo to a gamer community, all that will bring is nagging. But ok, I'm
sure Ryan and everyone is aware of this problem, no doubt. But they don't
react, so that means Ryan isn't the guy we need atm to fix this. So let's
spam the epic forums :P

Greetings,

Mike

Agreed, I've not heard of this problem with theM$ servers only linux, but it
is kinda of frustraighting that if was released in this state w/everyone
having this problem, I'd be willing to let Ryan even use our server/box as a
test platform to get this issue resolved.

Not so I've heard.  Seems that Windoze servers crashy-crashy here and there,
but no sign of this net subsystem hangup while the rest of the server app
chugs along fine that we're seeing in linux-land.

No idea why there's no fix yet, but I'm not gonna bother speculating.  We're
stuck until something better comes along, whenever it is provided.

Is this issue also with Windows? I haven't found anything exactly like this.
But my guess is if it is also a problem with Windows, then it is a problem
with UT3 and not just the Linux port. With that said, it may not be possible
for Ryan to fix the problem and he has to wait until Epic corrects it. He
may even be waiting on Epic for some of these other issues. It would be a
waste of time to fix something that is broken, if Epic is planning on fixing
it. 
Just my two cents.

Pretty sure it's all linux servers as I haven't heard anyone post
something contrary to that claim.

I posted a workaround a few days ago on this list that gets my server
to stay useful for a few hours by preventing a map change, but that's 
about as good as I can manage.  Still, I'll take a few hours over a
few minutes any day.

The only other thing that was mentioned here was to turn off
advertising of the server (bShouldAdvertise to False).  That's kind 
of pointless from my perspective, but if you've got a group of
players and can tell them a known IP through a website or something,
why not?
