    Problem using hosted server ... ping starts at 55 then increases to 2200+

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I said I wouldn't take the time but I did some network monitoring anyway.  Prior to this screen shot everything appeared normally.  You can see a packet kick off to analytics.avorion.net.  Then you see a packet where destination is unreachable .  However, this is nothing I can find that indicates why.  There is nothing in the network traffic to indicate the problem. 

     

    Thanks for you comms on this .... I am having fun playing single player :) ... At this point we will see if a future wipe and reload of the box solves it.

     

    Edit - Couldn't attach ... too big ... suffice to say there was a packet with unreachable destinition but nothing prior to indicate the problem.

    Yes I agree it must be something on this computer.  I have tried going naked connected directly to the modem whilst also turning off firewalls and virus protection.  It would not seem to be a port issue based on that.  However, the fact that I can see chat from other players in real time even after 'losing connection'. perhaps indicates a port issue.  .... Perhaps chat runs on a different port then other Steam stuff?  So given that everything is cool for 4 minutes it might indicate that something is running in the background that is hitting the game port and causing the lost connection.

     

    So I could do packet sniffing and network monitoring but at this point I think it might be time for a box wipe and reload.  :)

    OK ran another test session ...again after about 4 minutes I cannot place blocks or use other dialog boxes needing mouse clicks.  Ping is frozen on last ping when using F1.  Interesting enough is that I can still see chats coming in from friends on the server as soon as they send them even after problem presents.

     

    I did determine that the following authentication failed messages in the server log are not normal when a player quits the server ...

    Thanks again for responding .... Yes, it is a hosted server at LOW MS.  And I have two boxes as you have noted.  The low end media box with the I5 I just used for testing.  It connects and runs the game.  The 9900K box does not.

    I watched on the web log ... the above only presents in the log after I return to menu to get out of the game.  Is that not normal?

     

    The logs I attached were downloaded from the hosted server.  Is there a local client log?  If so, where is that?  I will get it and attach.

    The problem always manifests in the same fashion regardless of the testing I have done and documented below.

     

    I log in and everything is fine.  F1 shows ping going from 25ms to 29ms.

     

    Consistently at about 4 minutes functions requiring left clicks stop working.

     

    I can no longer place a block.  I can no longer delete an email.  I can no longer found a ship. Etc….

     

    The F1 Ping is no longer oscillating.  It appears frozen on whatever was last reported … like 27ms

     

    After about 10 minutes the low ping icon presents showing 2500ms +

     

    I log off

    My PC (Problem)

     

    I9900K

    32 GIG

    RTX 2080TI

    Avorion Running off G: Drive M2

    --------------------------------------------

    Media Box (No Problem)

    I5 4670

    16 GIG

    On board Nvidia GPU

    Avorion Running on C harddrive

    --------------------------------------------

    Both boxes latest Nvidia Drivers

     

    Comcast Internet Provider

    ARRIS Surfboard 586183 Modem

    Dlink AC3200 Triband Router

     

    Both boxes connect hard wire

    --------------------------------------------

     

    I have tried two hosting services

    Low MS

    PingPerfect

     

    My media box and my two friends have no problems on either hosted server.

     

    My PC has exactly the same problem on both hosted servers.

     

    -------------------------------------------------

    Diagnostic Testing

     

    I do not have any problems with other online games or other online processes

     

    - Taken router out of the equation and connected directly to modem

    - Totally cleaned box.  Ccleaner, Malware Bytes, Webroot Virus Scan.  No problems found

    - Deleted programs I do not need any longer

    - Shut down all tasks and services I do not need to run Avorion

    - Took everything off Startup

    - Tried setting up and running under a new Windows account

     

    At this point since my friends and media box can run without problems I have to assume it's something on this PC and perhaps a wipe and reinstall is the only solution.  I guess it could be a hardware, chipset, bios issue but I have no other problems.

     

    Logs have been provided.  Note that  "Authentication failed for user 76561197986421435. Reason: Authentication ticket was canceled" error only occurs when returning to Main Menu.

    Odd problem .... I set up a couple servers with hosting companies.  I have one with PingPerfect and one with LowMS.  My friend has no problem connecting in and playing on either.  When I connect to either  server ping is around 55ms.  Everything is fine for maybe 5 minutes.  I generally notice the problem starting when I can no longer add blocks to ships.

     

    If I wait a few more minutes eventually the low ping indicator comes on reporting 2200 plus ping.  I don't have Windows Firewall Running.  I turned off my Webroot Virus Protection and Firewall.  I have Win 10 with 32GiG and a 9900K and a 2080TI.    My tested internet speed is 125MBS down and 13MBS UP.

     

    I have not had any issues with other online games.    I am not even sure where to look?  Any ideas?  Any help?  Thanks!!

     

     

    Large Block displaying in some systems

    in Bugs

    Posted

    When entering an otherwise empty system there is sometimes a huge square block displaying.  The block cannot be selected or interacted with.  It is not always present in all systems that otherwise appear empty and I have not seen it in any systems that have other entities.

     

    I would say it is a graphics glitch but it feels like a null, undefined, or otherwise improperly defined entity in the system?  I sent a formal bug report with log files.

     

    EDIT .. just saw this block in a system that had other stations and entities

    deaths from enemies: 1, deaths from crashing when trying to dock: like 10

    The docking mechanism added quite a bit to the overall sense of immersion for me.  I like it.  The key here is really being able to control your ship well which is directly related to how maneuverable it is, which in turn is directly related to your build.  Make sure you build enough thrusters AND position them well to improve your breaking thrust, pitch, roll and yaw.  When those stats are in the white in the build mode it just means you have the minimum required for maneuver.

     

    The other thing you can do is turn the collision damage down.  The default value of 1 can be quite unforgiving .....

    Problems with the Dedicated Server

    in Multiplayer

    Posted

    Probably not much help here but just sharing I had a similar problem when setting up a hosted server with PingPerfect.

     

    Initially when adding the server to the browser it would just sit there Refreshing and not show online.

     

    Looking at my logs I noted that connection closed error as well.  However, somehow PingPerfect fixed it and I believe it was related to using the latest patch ... I think 1/28/2017.  The admin was saying something about the new version allowing configuring ports whereas the old version did not.

     

    The interesting thing is I still get that closed connection error in my log on server startup but it works and I can connect to it.

     

    log excerpt from startup .... I can connect ...

    Mine in starter sector dock do not appear?

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Posted

    I have an aluminum mine in the starter sector and I have previously docked there.

     

    I was going to stop by again on a trip back into the starter system to gt some miners and when approaching the mine the docking points do not show up.  I have 100% favorable faction rating.  I also noticed 3 thin bars under the facility that show when I select the facility.  These bars fill individually and disappear individually when full ... but then re-display as empty ... rinse repeat.  I do not know if that has something to do with the fact that docking points do not appear.

     

    Any ideas?

    What to do on bad starter seeds?

    That is actually quite a bit of materials and creds to get rolling.  You have enough titanium and plenty of credits to build the titanium generator of a size that will gen a lot of power.  Note there is no iron version of the generator block so you have to scroll to the titanium section to see it.  A block size of about 1000 titanium should be plenty to allow you to expand your ship. 

     

    Mining is great for a steady stream of mats and creds, however, to get modules and turrets you really need to get into salvaging instead of fully depending on the equipment merchant respawns.  There are tons of wreck around.  Just go where you see the fighting going on.  That said, another approach here is to do some fighting yourself.  The pirates in the beginning system are easier than you might think using just a couple decent chain guns.  Not only does this get you faction cred, you are clearing the way to begin your salvaging ops in that area.

     

    Salvaging is the way to quickly get updated turrets and modules ....  You of course need salvaging lasers and turn off any weapons while salvaging ... at least I think I get better drop results that way...

     

     

    Host Server Settings? (PingPerfect)

    in Multiplayer

    Posted

    I am using a hosted server on PingPerfect.  After a few bumps yesterday we were able to get it running and I can connect.  However I have a couple questions given the file structure seems different then the current docs on a Windows Server.  By the way nice work on that folks!

     

    1.  I cannot find the server.bat or launcher.bat files.  The files do not appear to be exposed in the servers root folder.  They do have a configuration section separate from the file manager.  This section has a PingStart.bat which is edited with a configuration editor and only lets you set an admin password.  The second file in the config section is a link to Saves\avorion_galaxy\server.ini fully editable.

     

    So where would I make settings as noted in the windows docs .... specifically the ID of the server admin

     

    Go ahead and change “avorion_admin” to your 64bit SteamID to make sure you are the admin of the server. Also here you can change the name of your galaxy by editing “avorion_galaxy” to the name of your galaxy.

     

    2.  Related to the above .... I see an admin.xml in Saves\avorion_galaxy\  that file has an ID entry for admin ... Are the server admin ID's now related to the individual galaxies as opposed to a global.  Do I put my Steam ID there?

     

    <administrators>

    <admin name="admin" id="0"/>

    </administrators>

     

    3.  How do you assign players to group?  Do you add lines to the admin.xml?  Is there another file that is edited?  Or, is this only done through a command line entry?

     

    4.  I will be running a private server and I do not see any entry anywhere for a server password?  What settings need to be made to run a private server?

     

    Thanks!
