TASClient logon problems

[flop]

My TASClient hangs at "recieving user list" for about a minute, then logs me on for 2 seconds, I can see the user list, my channels, and people chatting, but doesnt show the battle list, then kicks me off after a second or two. Any ways to fix this?

Errors i get:

ctrl shit f6 ... enable debug mode, and lookt at $local, when it hangs, does it still receive commands from the server ?

[flop]

yeah, it looks like it. its listing users really slowly while it hangs, like here:

[11:07:00 AM] Server: "ADDUSER PRO_Silencer GB 0"

I've tried a clean install of spring, and it still doesnt fix it. Is there any other lobby I could use? I tried AFLobby but couldnt figure out how to install it.

there is no timeout, the server is laggy, try to uncheck "join #main" in the options

No, that's the SERVER killing the client due to not pinging. The CLIENT says it times out when the SERVER doesn't pong it. It has nothing to do with the server being laggy.

yes but did you see a ping msg in the list ? the server never send "ping" while logging in ... so if it closes the connection because it doesn't receive any pong it's a bug

[Peet]

Do you even understand the system? The CLIENT sends ping.

[flop]

oh wait, something changed. look at my last edit, it disconnects differently

[Satirik]

the client sends ping when it didn't receive a command in 15000ms ... since you're logging in you receive a new command evry second (at least) ... do YOU even understand the system ???

[flop]

less bitching more helping flop

[Peet]

the client sends ping when it didn't receive a command in 15000ms

No, that's entirely untrue. The client sends ping on a constant interval regardless of any data it recieves.

Sorry I'm not being helpful to you flop, it just irritates me beyond all measure when the maintainer of the official client doesn't even understand the protocol, nor the workings of the program he is maintaining.

[koshi]

Flop: you can try Springlobby
download this and this, then extract both into the same directory (doensn't have to be the Spring Directory)

[aegis]

no, look at the client

you'll notice it really doesn't send ping unless there's no data being transmitted

but is the server disconnecting the client when it doesn't receive a command in x seconds?

the client won't send anything while receiving the login info in this case

[aegis]

i thought the server only decided on a timeout when it didn't receive any data, not when it didn't send any
so tasclient spending a long time receiving the login info would time it out



lalala kill PING/PONG since tcp does it anyway and tasclient only uses it to timeout when the gui or unitsync is blocking the rest of the app

when the CLIENT timeout ... you receive a "timeout assumed" message not a "connection closed"

[flop]

springlobby works but according to KDR it will desync in BA

[aegis]

due to not supporting custom map/mod options?
if so, it would desync on anything other than standard settings

[Satirik]

and peet you were right it does send ping when it didn't send a command in 10s or received a command in 10s

ANYWAY this is not the answer BECAUSE this is not a clientside timeout BECAUSE client side timeout return that msg "Ping dropped locally (timeout)" or "Timeout assumed. Disconnecting ..."

and i just made some test with a 1s timeout and i can log in without problem

[aegis]

springlobby people say it works now

also satirik, you probably don't have the type of computer and connection likely to timeout
