Randomly dropping connection during game [SOLVED]

[Mephi]

It happens very often atm, that two players lose the connection to each other during a game, for whatever reasons. This issue is present since a long time now. Is there any motivation to fix it?

The logs are to the last game i played, which got ended by this issue. I lost the connection to DevilSSmile for no reason. I hope he posts his logs also.

I confirm. Seems to happen once every 3 to 4 games. pair of people can't see each other, game stucks until one decides to leave.

still happening, here are the logs of me and the player i lost connection to

we dropped the connection during the game at min 6 or so, both stayed connected to every other player

Were those two players not connected in lobby and established the connection after refaffing? Same happened to me and it was always with the guy i had no connection in lobby. After refaffing we were connected but then dropped connection after some minutes ingame.

actually I was the host, so when Mephi joined he was definetely connected to me from the start.

is there any fix to this yet as it happens to me at least 1 in 5 games

These logs don't give any indication as to the cause of the bug, all they say is that two people lost connection to each other.

My best guess is that the cause of this is local network setups, and not actually anything to do with FAF. Interestingly the client does appear to send a bunch of messages to the server when people lose connection, so there might be some way to use that to reconnect people (if someone feels like coding it).

Also CookieNoob your game log has a bunch of random stuff in it, seems you've got a UI mod that is putting debug messages into your log.

I'm surprised to read that.
I havn't plaid in a few weeks, but last I did, it was expected that people would disconnect by pair in lobby, with having to "refaf" as a usual thing to fix it, and then on numerous games having pairs disconnecting during the game, to the point that people stopped insulting each other for bad connection because it had become just an expected thing noone could do anything about.

If it's people's networks, that's a whole lot of bad networks.

i doubt that to be honest, i have this problems since the last major serverpatch. My local net didnt change for more than a year.

Edit: probably this is caused by the changes to the proxy, although im not rlly into that stuff

hm... I am using 9 different UI mods... dunno which one causes that :/
