deadlands freezing game...

Turbo614 · Dec 26th 2014

For some reason when i try joining my favorite server,i get the cannot connect message,i click the ok box and lose my mouse cursor and have to use task manager to close the game.II don't know if this is a server thing( @Absalom ) or a game thing( @red51 )...........PASTEBIN log
i normally have no issues connecting to this server,also i am able to connect to other servers.

Unfortunately nothing specific I can find inside there Maybe the serverside log contains more information @Absalom?

Turbo614 · Dec 27th 2014

ive noticed a difference here in the server properties file:
win.thedeadlands.net:30500
98.122.172.184:4265
23.21.99.18:4255
risingworld.zaplabs.com:4255
192.185.83.12
192.185.83.12:80
192.185.83.12:4255
win.thedeadlands.net:30700
5.1.80.239:4255

I apologize @red51 and @Absalom i cleared the contents of that file and am now connected. .maybe you can add something in code to remove these files automatically?

also @red51 when a server is saved to favorites,it doesn't refresh with current server info when logging back in to the game.

We will have a look at this. But you can always refresh the favorites when clicking on the refresh button at the top right or when rightclicking and selecting "refresh" on the particular server

haha I'm dumb*runs away*
*runs back*.....well I'm back to square one.i can join every other server but the deadlands.joining it freezes the game and I have to fc the game via task manager.....this is starting to frustrate me because their doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason for it.anywhere!

marking this as solved being that steam was the issue and has since been fixed.so far

i had the exact same error for a few times. And i have a different Favourite Server.

Turbo614 · Jan 1st 2015

well it seems okay now.

Turbo614 · Jan 1st 2015

update time @Absalom

Absalom · Jan 2nd 2015

Updated.

Turbo614 · Jan 2nd 2015

alright...it's doing it again.i can t on any other server except this one.like usual i get a connection error after 10-30 minutes...after several times of getting back in,it now just freezes the client like before. @Absalom and/or @red51

EDIT: is it possible that one gets timed out or locked out after so many log in attempts?

Turbo614 · Jan 7th 2015

today's log for the connection error/freezing the game @red51
pastebin

red51 · Jan 8th 2015

Thanks for the log! Unfortunately nothing specific in it, it just says you cannot connect to the server Maybe there are more useful hints in the serverlog?

Absalom · Jan 8th 2015

I did recently turn hive server verification back on after I opened the appropriate port. I was able to connect afterward, and I have seen other people logged in. Not sure what's going on. If it happens again email or text me using the information here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TDLRW

That way I can immediately pull a log before it restarts.

Turbo614 · Jan 8th 2015

alright will do

Absalom · Jan 8th 2015

I also want to add that I just incremented the delay between restarts to 5000 ms this morning. I think the previous was using a default of 0 delay, which would have caused some issues. Hopefully that fixes it.
