Connectivity Issues

Postby Jip » 29 Aug 2019, 11:50

Hello,

Recently I've been having some connectivity issues. This happens primarily during the game but also when trying to connect initially into a lobby.

The problem that I have is that I lose connection to (generally) one or two player(s), causing the entire game to 'wait'. In the end, we do not manage to reconnect and I therefore have to leave the game. This started quite recently, two - three weeks ago it was all good. Now, it seems to be happening every single game.

I've taken a look at: https://ping.canbeuseful.com/#ping
Generally, my ping is 100% stable. Until I start playing a FaF game. Then there are a few 200 - 400 ms spikes, which seem to relate to when I lose connection to another player. But I am unsure if this is really the case.

As far as I can see, I appear to be the sole person having these kind of troubles. Therefore it's probably related to me. I was hoping someone knows a few things I can try to improve the situation.

A lot of people in FaF tend to think my CPU may have an involvement here, I disagree. But in case it does: it's a AMD Phenom 1055T. (Yeah, I tend to get ejected for my CPU rating.)

Some other information: I tend to write my own (UI) mods. Even when all the mods are turned off, it still happens.

With kind regards,

Jip

Please take a look at the ice adapter debug window and tell us what happens there whenyou loose connection to somebody.

An Iceadapter log for a recent game, different game than the other logs: https://pastebin.com/1gKZERkU

It keeps trying to reconnect (gathering, checking, disconnected, gathering, ...).

edit: I am not sure what you want me to look for within the debug window of the ICE adapter.

*bump*

I am still experiencing these problems. Is there anyone that can help me?

It's always merely me that has issues with some arbitrary other player. And we generally do not reconnect afterwards.

Can't see anything in there. It tries but doesn't succeed at connecting. I would need the stdout/stderr of the adapter. THere's currently no option for that in the client, so the only thing that would help would be a log from a client version before 0.10.6 (https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... .10.4-beta). (downlords-faf-client.log)

Pls pm/notify me if you reply, our zulip RSS bot sadly doesn't trigger yet on updates in existing topics.
