Desync + freeze

Post by gogodancer »

Hey in the last couple of weeks i have been haven increased cases of desync- and game freeze ups.
I have done a set of 100 pings with the host IP that i connect to, and had zero dropped packets.
my graphics card and connection are more than adiquete.
I have re-Installed spring, and all of its files.
This only made it worse, it went from 20-40 desync errors in a game, to over 200.

Probably you are gaming too hot, blow your computer or vacuum it but be sure to protect the vacuum head for static eruptions or it can easily kill yuor mobo.

Also we here at SpringRTS tech support love guessing users' specs like Operating System, GPU, CPU, PSU, RAM, drivers, infolog contents, running services, virus configuration, mentally too afraid to update GPU drivers/mobo BIOS, etc.

My guess other than too hot would be that cheap user purchased too cheap motherboard, power supply or RAM and put that money on GPU and one of those cheap parts are failing.

Computer specs

Dont laugh i know. When my broke ass does have some bling, i will custom build my next one. This one was a hand me down.

motherboard is clean.

Also have noticed that it only happens on the big games, like dsd 8v8 (since thats all thats hosted these days)
and my memory usage rarely jumps when this happens, though sometimes when it crashes it jumps to 95%, and i have to manually shut it down.

Once you desync, it will keep spitting out those errors, so the number of messages you get is pretty irrelevant and will only depend on how long you continue playing after the desync has occurred (when you in fact should resign and maybe rejoin).

Yeah, i usually do that. and hope that no one takes.
but usually it gets running for like 4-5 minutes and then desyncs again, or crashes (acts like its paused, can still do stuff and select thing, but its frozen, acting like its paused).
