Unknown hosting issues with Macintoshes

[Butler]

First of all, if you come in here with the intent of saying something along the lines of "Get Windows"   forget off.



I'm getting tired of this, whenever I host a server, literally five minutes in I crash. The game freezes and I have to force quit.
I have a console.log with trace:

This happened to me a while ago.
Turns out the problem was very bad internet. If you host with even a few players it can crash because of low bandwidth.

Code: [Select]

Entering ServerCmdSuperShiftBrick(7588, 1, 0, 0)
   Entering shift(9906, -32, -0, 0)
      Entering [JVS_Content]fxDTSBrick::setTransform(9906, 81 431.5 0.1 0 0 1 3.14159)
         Entering [JVS_Content]fxDTSBrick::contentTypeID(9906)
         Leaving [JVS_Content]fxDTSBrick::contentTypeID() - return -1
      Leaving [JVS_Content]fxDTSBrick::setTransform() - return
   Leaving shift() - return
This is where your console log cuts off. Generally if it's an add-on problem it cuts off in the middle of a non-default function or package (i.e. between fxDTSBrick::contentTypeID's enter and exit). It's still possible and Add-On is causing these issues so I'd recommend trying a server with no add-ons enabled, otherwise the above post is possible.

an Add-On*

The server crashed both times. Within 5 to 10 minutes of starting.


Here is console.log with trace and default add-ons:

Here is console.log with trace and zero add-ons:

Fix'd

[Mr.jacksaunt]

I'm telling you it's slow connection
When I get to my mom's house that has slow internet I'll try hosting a server and I'll see if it crashes.

Not a problem on my Mac, so it must be an add-on.

It does seem to happen around auth checks...

[Sami2ss]

Get Windows.

If I'm correct, auth check is when the game checks your key? If that's the case, a simple reinstall and re-entering of the key might fix it. I know this is something simple, but sometimes simple things work but nobody tries them. Sorry if I did not help.

I already reinstalled. I reinstalled yesterday about 10 minutes before I posted this topic.

COuld it really be because of low bandwidth?

No.

No.

Then Jack is lying/wrong?

Also, if I were to connect my laptop to my router with an ethernet cord instead of using wifi would that make it better or do I need a new router/modem entirely?
