Author Topic: Client-hosted Server crashes randomly (Read 2600 times)

Snick0rz · October 13, 2011, 03:04:45 PM

Hello people,

today me and Shadow_Racer encountered some critical problems while hosting a server, namely, they just shut themselves down. BL does NOT crash, it just closes down the server and the console log is spitting out: "Post to master server FAILED: Connection failure". A solution/fix/workaround would be fantastic.

Cheers,
Snick0rz

This means that the validation of your server did not go through.
Check your internet connection. Poor internet connection could prevent server validation.
Also, a firewall could possibly be preventing validation.

Both of these are proven to not be the case, it worked superb the last two days. No lag, no issues. It literally started today for me.

Then I'm not sure.
Can't think of what is preventing authentication.

Well, I got a auth fail yesterday, maybe that's some kind of aftermath?
Although I don't reaaally think that's the case.

Probably. Something must be wrong with your BL's connection.

I disabled UPnP, hopefully it works.

Can't edit in help? That's news to me.

Well, surprisingly it didn't work. Still waiting for an answer.

Yeah, Badspot took Modify out of Help to prevent repeating topics.
And I can't figure it out. What's your connection type?

Snick0rz · October 13, 2011, 04:02:20 PM

My settings are the ones for Broadband and I'm sittting on a 16k DSL fibre connection (at least that's what they tell me).

* Run Blockland
* Press ~ to open the console
* Type trace(1); and press enter
* Press ~ to close the console
* Run a server until it shuts down
* Exit the game
* Post the console.log file from your My Documents/Blockland/ folder

Nobody joined the server so I'll give it another shot soon.

Is it possible we can host through v19 if we still have a copy of it?
