[0.14.21] Headless Server Desync

Desyncs in modded game will be ignored most of the time, until it is clearly proven that the desync is not caused by scripting.

[0.14.21] Headless Server Desync

Post by ChurchOrganist »

My multiplayer game running on a Virtual Box Ubuntu Headless Server Desynced at around 11pm tonight.

I'm attaching the log file, and I have copied the entire desync report in case you need it.

It is a 417MB upload though!

Double Reach
Foreman

Let me know if you need the entire report.

There is not much use in reporting a desync while using mods in the first place, but there is no use at all when not uploading the report.

The entire report would be useful to know if it was a mod that caused it or not.

It looks like the desync is around a blueprint book being different between the server and you. It may have been one of the blueprint related mods you've got.

Thanks.

I'll report it to the Foreman developer.

The desync report. It contains the client and the server save file at the point it desynced tagged with human-readable tags.

We have disabled all mods and restarted the server. Whenever I click on anything on my inventory or toolbelt, or try to deconstruct anyhting by 'axing' it, I cause a desync. Only me it seems.

I was using factorio on STEAM, so I unisntalled it, downloaded the standalone version and started with a complete vanilla version on my client, but still I cause a desync.

Is there any way we can recover from this without winding back a few days please?

Can you upload the desync report(s)?

Trying to upload am getting a '413 Request Entity Too Large' error from your server. Here's a google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_b1va ... sp=sharing

We do though seem to have got rid of the problem.

Thinking that ONLY my character was causing desyncs EVERY time I tried to change my inventory, I asked one of the other players to kill me so I could respawn with empty 'pockets'.

After my respawn, the desync problem seems to have disappeared. Certainly I am able to modify my inventory, build, deconstruct, etc.

If you asked me to speculate what was wrong with my character, I would say it was because it was still carrying a (corrupt?) blueprint that had been imported using Foreman 1.1.5, which you flagged above as being the original cause of our issues.

The desync is around the blueprint book but normally that kind of thing is fixed by reconnecting (it syncs the server and you). It's strange that it persisted through multiple desyncs/reconnects...

What I am speculating is that server map had got 'bad' data about my character. This wasn't a problem when my character wasn't active, but as soon as I joined the others, we'd get the errors.

Do any of you have a blueprint book that's setup to have more than 255 inventory slots?

Not sure how to assess that. But it's clear that my character was the cause of any desync problems. Perhaps you can derive an answer to your question by looking at my character?
