[0.16.51] Server drops players when specific player connects

[tyy3]

the error: when he connects everybody on the server has a pop that says server not responding with a progress bar underneath and ends with the option to save quit or reconnect.
happens with and without mods
happened on all but one server (comfyfactorio - cave miner)

[tyy3]

verified integrity of game files found nothing uninstalled and reinstall nothing

also some servers it pops up for seemingly everybody, and then he gets on but that's not where it ends if he starts running around in circles it will happen

Thanks for the report. The only thing I can think of is he has some *massive* blueprint library that's trying to be uploaded. You can try having him delete his local blueprint library storage (or just rename it) and see if it changes anything.

Other than that, I have no idea what could cause this since the logs show nothing erroring.

he had one blueprint, deleting it did nothing

I am the magic man who breaks servers by existing. When joining the server it either says that I cannot establish network connection or starts loading the world and then says the server is not responding. I have tried reinstalling the game already and have now tried emptying my blueprint library. There was only one blueprint in it.

Try to limit the maximum upload speed in the server settings.

Try something really small to test if it helps at all e.g. 1/10 of the the servers actual maximum upload speed.
