[0.14.14] Random Drops from Multiplayer Servers
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2016 3:29 am
by ElfLeaderMike
Date Seen
Throughout the past few days or so, confirmed to also exist on 0.14.14 as of 11PM EST 10/14/2016
Computer Info
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
Factorio 0.14.14
Bug Description
While playing on a vanilla client/server, a dialog appears saying "Server is not responding"
Other players on the server do not see anything wrong during this time.
When the progress bar gets to the end, the player is dropped and is given the option to reconnect.
At this time other players are told the player has left the game.
Steps to Reproduce
I have been unable to reproduce the bug in a reliable fashion.
Troubleshooting/Testing Steps Attempted
Attempted to play on a fresh multiplayer server with an unmodified control.lua (Non custom scenario)
Within minutes of a fresh start server someone else hosted the bug occurred again as described earlier
Reconnected and was able to play with no issues for another hour before it occurred again.
During this time I was also running PingPlotter to make sure it wasn't a network issue.
Based on the results from that, my network connection was stable during the times drops occurred.
The factorio-current.log is attached for reference.
Thanks!

Is this still happening in the latest version of the game?

Yes it does seem to still be happening.
When playing with my friend I am getting moments where my character will run in place and won't respond to the controls, but I can see my friend run around and place things in real time.
This ends up in me dropping from the server and having to reconnect.
I have also had it where the "Server is not responding" message comes up with the green bar which also results in the same thing happening.
I have also attached my factorio-current.log file in hopes of shedding some light on this issue.
Thanks
*edit
We tried playing over LAN through hamachi and it seems to have eliminated the dropping issue.

This is still happening in the game, completely vanilla 3 player server.

Would really love a solution on this, Factorio multiplayer has been unplayable for months for me because of this bug. I really enjoyed this game while it lasted, but until it's fixed I can't play it anymore, hopefully it'll get resolved in a later version.

Unless someone has a way to reproduce this there's not much we can do as everything works perfectly for us and the vast majority of the players that play MP every day.
I suspect there's something wrong on your end with your router, upload speed, or the host router.

That seems partially doubtful only because no other multiplayer game has issues like Factorio does.
If it is on my end, it's essentially saying that Factorio does networking in a way that just doesn't work for me, and I'm not really sure how that's possible.
Just on general reasoning I think it's fair to say it's likely a Factorio related issue, but you're also right in saying since most people don't seem to have an issue it may be unique to something I'm using/doing on my system.
Sadly it makes the problem too specific, and in a strange way I hope it starts affecting more people so you can solve it.
Thanks for the response.

If it helps I remember it showed something about ElfLeaderMike reconnecting from a different source/location, something like that. It was a while ago so I'm not 100% certain.

I've been having the problem recently since the router at my place was upgraded. The router seems to be better in every way, except for this issue.
Occasionally while playing, I will get the server is not responding message, and get dropped from the server. I can rejoin immediately and it goes back to normal (until it happens again some time later)
Other players on the server (including the host) can see me getting dropped form the server, but he can also see another message "'Player' was disconnected as he was reconnecting from a different source" (exact wording) This second massage pops up when I reconnect to the server. (Clarified this with the host)

0.14.22 fixed a bug with packet failure in map downloads caused by bad routers. I wonder if there is a similar bug that affects gameplay.
