Summary0003669: Spring 94.1.+ github take really long time to start for first time, and always cannot connect to server.
DescriptionI tried to run a game on "BLEEDING EDGE of Spring Engine. Zero K Test xxxxx" room since yesterday (31 March ) and today but the game always show this "Waiting for server/ Waiting for connection(X)" and it constantly failed (usually after it count to 10).

(I wanted to test whether https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/b9cb8f297ec3 can fix 100% CPU usage when chicken unit stuck)

----
Also, the game start up super slowly each time I download new github Spring, but fortunately it become faster again at second try after I had to wait about a minute for it to even show the "Wait..." screen at first try.

i don't know much about the setup of the autohost / springie. i guess at first startup it has to create the archive cache?!

imo thats no engine bug...

can you provide more details? if not i don't know what the engine devs should do.

also why block? it works at the second run... also engine isn't switched so often.

because it says "Waiting for connection (X)" until it timeout. So I can't even test the game online.

Okay, if its server's fault I couldn't figure out what's wrong either. I just hope someone know what's going on.

possible related to 0003666 which is already fixed.

still i don't know much about springie. without more details engine devs can do nothing as we don't know whats wrong.

okay I try again with 1a10bcb6

UPDATE:
latest version is same thing.
also, this issue http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=3663 is real, the Springsetting is reset when I try second time (after failing at first time due to timeout).

that's ZKL's fault, cause it doesn't use unitsync, the ArchiveCache needs to be created when spring runs -> slow

SirMaverick (reporter)

The first time you use a new spring version it will read all your maps and games to recalculate checksums. That's why the first start may be slow.

But I see the same behavior: the host starts but immediately changed back to "not ingame". dedicated spring crashes/quits?

springie maintainer need to fill in the missing info...

please reopen when you can provide the info whats wrong. i guess infolog.txt will show the problem.

note: i refuse to report bugs to zero-k any more as they ignored way to much of my bug reports. see http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/4419 if you want to know why.

I add infolog (client/me-as-player): http://pastebin.com/TMsB6ev8

server side logs are needed... i still think its a config problem on springie as validation tests works fine. (maybe its a side effect of a different bug, but as already written, without more info we can't fix)
