Author Topic: Cannot host server! (Read 865 times)

Hi,

Apparently, when I host a server on the internet everything works fine. But the moment someone joins it, my BL crashes, making me unable to host servers! What could be the problem?

My specs are:
i5 480m 2.66 ghz (2.93 w/ turbo boost)
geforce gt 540m 1gb vram
3 gb ddr3

I tried hosting on another computer and it works. AND DON'T loving SAY

Omg it bcuz of ur shty comp trolololo

because I'm in the help section, not in the "Get Trolled^TM" section.

What should I do? Should I make a clean install of blockland? is it an add-on that's stopping me from hosting?
For the record, multiplayer works perfectly fine; I can easily connect to any server and my BL doesn't crash.

Thanks in advance.

Host it without any add-ons enabled. Post your console.log if your problem persists.

Thanks for the quick reply.
The only problem is, I need add-ons for a lot of things. Without add-ons, my server becomes just like "Badspot's Block Party". However, it's better than hosting no server at all, so I'll try it.
After that, I'll post my console.log, if it helps in any way.

How long have you waited? sometimes when someone joins it has to rebuild the cache/manifest, which could take a while if you have a lot of add-ons

You don't have to just never use add-ons on your server, just try to host without any now, and if it works, gradually re-enable your add-ons until you can't host again, then just get rid of whichever one made the problem come back.

I haven't waited very long, maybe that's the problem, and I DO have a lot of add-ons.

I'll try that, although I don't think a specific add-on is causing this, because I almost always read the comments when I download an add-on.

This was the problem. I didn't wait too much.
