| Error in Sync Players... | |
Jon Bowles   1st Aug 2011 13:04:58 | Hello,
We have a recurring error: "Error in SyncPlayers Object reference not set to an instance of an object. line:9" in the "Status/Error" window. This error occurs quite often. Sometimes it loops for a couple seconds, creating 10-100 entries. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to get that to stop? |
Dave Wave   2nd Aug 2011 08:50:26 | Thanks for posting, Presume this is with 0.22 not 0.19?
I'll have a look through the code. Can you confirm if everything is working ok when this happens? |
| Jon Bowles 3rd Aug 2011 16:25:36 | Maybe, there seems to be a spawning and "Last Talked" issue when it occurs. Sometimes it shows up once (1) and sometimes it loops for 100+.
This morning when I checked the server, the same message was up, but this time with a (500) Status Error: "rest of the above message". The ban, still allows people to enter, as well. It will kick them, but they can return... I'll watch the server today, and post back eny errors it throws... Thanks Dave. |
| Jon Bowles 3rd Aug 2011 16:27:58 | Sorry for not elaborating on the issues...
The spawning: States to the server and in the "S/E" Window, that "Joe" is spawning, and will be kicked. If they try again, or a couple times, they are finally allowed in. This is with them NOT on the ban list. "Last Talked": Just stops working completely. Making it difficult to track down who is singing like a jerk into the channel. |
| Jon Bowles 3rd Aug 2011 19:44:17 | Here is one I got today:
"ReadyListenening <name> is spawning IP=<IP Address>Unable to connect to the remote server" Obviously, I edit their actuall name an ip, but we keep getting that, and the same thing but with the "Will be kicked". Again, these are the ones that are not on the ban list. |
| Jon Bowles 3rd Aug 2011 19:45:45 | Sorry for multi-posts, but I am unable to find an "EDIT" button.
The last part of that message, says "Unable to connect to the remote server", yet it is connected, and as far as I can tell is working properly; for now... |
| Dave Wave 6th Aug 2011 17:33:44 | Sorry for delay in replying.
In your example Joe is being kicked for spawining, i.e. He is using a glider to call a tow plane or is maybe running an addon that creates AI traffic. Either way this is bad news in a multiplayer game so he will be kicked. He is free to join again, you will need to add his ip to the ban list if you want rid of him! The message "Unable to connect to remote server" means that the system cannot connect to fsopen to update the player maps etc. This can happen from time to time but the server will continue trying every 30 seconds. If you only get this message once then it only failed once. |
| Jon Bowles 8th Aug 2011 14:06:06 | Hi Dave,
The example I gave was a bit vague, sorry. "Joe" was actually in TS with me and spawning in, in a PMDG MD11. He would get kicked 1, 3 or sometimes 5 times (random amount of times, is the point), but then be able to the next. It was very odd behavior. Have you actually redone part of the code? I had several times over the last couple days, where I had the FSOpen server crash. At one point, when I lanuched it, I noticed it re-downloaded. This is what makes me think, there was an update to .22 version. I notice today that one of the servers is running .23, however, for the last 36-ish hours, I haven't been getting the 100's of server error messages like I had before. One more question off topic-a-bit: I notice your server runs a "Full" version. What is the difference, if any, between this and the one we use for Chicago Flights? Is this version available to the rest of the hosting community; or will it be at one point? Thanks, Jon |
| Dave Wave 8th Aug 2011 14:59:31 | .23 released today just counts packets in the last 30 seconds from each player.
Next time you get an error copy and paste the full message to me in an email please. Very little difference to the full version now. Missing some of the options that are in .23. My intention is to move our version to the public version though with flight around the corner this might not happen. |
