Disconnected From Server every 5-20 minutes: Please help


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have version 1.1.1 installed and I am constantly being disconnected from the server I am playing on. Which server is irrelevant, it occurs on every server I connect to. I can sometimes play several races on a server, eventually I get disconnected. I have rarely played for more than 20 minutes without a disconnection.

This is now the ONLY issue I have with MTA-SA.

My network is stable and secure with several machines running Linux and w2k3 server as well as XP pro. I have absolutely no networking issues of any kind with the other machines, nor when I play other online games with the machine I use for MTA-SA.

Can someone please offer some advice? I relly enjoy this game, but the regular disconnectons are driving me crazy.

Regards

Hi KillFrenzy, thanks.

I have a 1Mb ADSL broadband connection. I live in UK and connect to servers with a ping of between 30 and 80. I understand the effect that other protocols and other machines simultaneously connecting to the internet or downloading can have whilst I am playing. As an aid to diagnosis I have removed IPSec, my VPN tunnels, software firewalls and shutdown every other machine on my network and tried. Unfortunately the problem persists, with no noticable change. :(

I got a 3Mb connection with the same problem ever since i installed 1.1 plus my gaming pc is the only thing running on my network when im playing and my gaming pc is the only one that has the best connection bc i have deleted a few registries that slow or limit connection speeds

Is there a message stating WHY you are disconnected? e.g. timed out or Unexpected Packet data. Is it the same error every time?

Are there any other processes running on the MTA pc that are using high CPU or network utilisation?

In response to: Chain

The dialogue box states: "Connection with server lost!" the same error every disconnection.

My machine is old now.. single core XP3200+ 9800pro So I do not have any other tasks running when game is playing. I disable AV when playing any game and that is normally all I have running in background anyway. Oh apart from flask mpeg converting a 4Gb video file and lightwave rendering a battle scene from Babylon 5 ;)

Can happen anytime, during first 30 seconds of connecting and spawning, sometimes before I past the first CP. I can play several races before I am disconnected too. Happens on many servers, just loses connection.

I have not had this issue with other online games, no matter how much change my network setup.

"Connection with server lost!" same here, i have noticed that this happens when the server i play in(Betafield.de MTA:SA StuntServer) get full i get disconnected. I was wondering if the problem could be the same as in another application that i know of....... the problem with the other application(i don't want to say the name) is that if the client lags and sends some packets a bit lame, the server disconnects him and the server itself get laggy with every packet late.

I have cable internet but its speed is 20KBs, i didn't have this problem with MTA Race 1.0.

Does this happen if you connect to a local server as well?

Do you run a firewall?

Not tried a local server.... will give that a go.

I have the usual harware firewall that comes as part of the broadband router. Although I have another firewall that serves other machines, the PC I use for MTA is not routed through it.

I have shutdown everything except my gaming PC and the router in an attempt to sus this out

I set up a MTA server on a win2k3 server on the local LAN and connected. I played several maps before I was kicked "client not responding". This also occurs when the MTA server is run on the same machine as the client, so yes this does happen on local servers.

Lol I know you're kidding - your spec prob couldn't even manage either of those :wink:

I've seen another post in this forum where your same issue is experienced on LAN also. I think erorr404 was suprised but noted it, so I reckon the team are already on the case....

However, I have been able to play for more that 20mins on loads of occasions...

I have rarely played for more than 20 minutes without a disconnection.
