Keep disconnecting after ~5 minutes

[TheArmyGuy]

So this happens only on some servers (I'd say about half) and it happens faster the more bricks the server has. After 5 minutes the sevrer just says 'LAG' and I have to reconnect.
My ports are forwarded and this issue is new, haven't had it happen in the past 5 years.

Also I don't have any antivirus or firewall installed.

2 things I can think off:
Slow internet speed.
Either your internet is not fast from default, or you have hit your limit and the speed is downgraded.
This could block your data transfer for a specified amount of time causing a timeout.

Faulty ram.
Because you mention the brickcount, it is possible Blockland breaks down when you hit a certain amount of ram.
Although I would expect it would show a different error message if this is the case.

Also I don't have any antivirus or firewall installed.

I must mention this is not a good practice.
No matter how careful you are on the internet, some things will come by unnoticed.
Even just surfing to websites like Facebook can let a virus sneak through.
If you want some advice for what programs to use I can tell you this:

Avast is the best free antivirus out there. It blocks like 93% off virusses.
Malwarebyte Antimalware is a very good virusscanner, which you should probably run because you spend time without protection.

It's not the internet being slow:

and I can have 1 million bricks on my server no problem.

Can you start Blockland, open the command window by pressing "²" or "~" and typing "trace(1);"
Then joining a server you know will disconnect you and let it happen.
Then upload your "console.txt" located in your Blockland folder?

[TheArmyGuy]

Here you go.

[honytawk]

You disconnect because the connection times out:

Code: [Select]

Leaving GameConnection::onConnectionTimedOut() - return
And I think it happens because of a chat addon:

Code: [Select]

Entering clientCmdServerMessage(
88 MsgClientKilled,
64 <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001)
   Entering defaultMessageCallback(
88 MsgClientKilled,
64 <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, , , , , , , , )
      Entering onServerMessage(<bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001)
         Entering newChatHud_AddLine(<bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001)
            Entering NewChatSO::addLine(10397, <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001)
               Entering NewChatSO::displayPage(10397)
               Leaving NewChatSO::displayPage() - return
            Leaving NewChatSO::addLine() - return
            Entering newMessageHud::updatePosition(newMessageHud)
            Leaving newMessageHud::updatePosition() - return
            Entering newChatHud_UpdateScrollDownIndicator()
               Entering newChatHud_UpdateIndicatorPosition()
               Leaving newChatHud_UpdateIndicatorPosition() - return
            Leaving newChatHud_UpdateScrollDownIndicator() - return
         Leaving newChatHud_AddLine() - return
      Leaving onServerMessage() - return
   Leaving defaultMessageCallback() - return
Leaving clientCmdServerMessage() - return
Entering GameConnection::setLagIcon(68627, true)
Leaving GameConnection::setLagIcon() - return
Connection to server timed out
Entering GameConnection::onConnectionTimedOut(68627)
You have any of those by any chance?

[TheArmyGuy]

I've got the medieval chat add-on, I'll try completely removing it.

[TheArmyGuy]

Didn't fix it, I'll look for other chat add-ons.

[TheArmyGuy]

The only add-on that has newChat stuff in it is VCE, and it's never caused an issue before.

[honytawk]

It kinda looks like it happens when someone Self Deletes, because it uses the skull.png image right before the lag starts.
It does things like:

Code: [Select]

Entering defaultMessageCallback(
88 MsgClientKilled,
64 <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, , , , , , , , )Which does not seem normal.

I'd suggest moving all your client addons to a different folder and see if that helps.

[Zeblote]

Huh? All of these are default functions. There's nothing wrong with it.

[honytawk]

Huh? All of these are default functions. There's nothing wrong with it.

Is there really nothing wrong with:

mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, mokeytonic2001, , , , , , , ,

?

I mean, why are all those commas there?

[Zeblote]

That's just how the death message works.

88 is the tagged string MsgClientKilled, 64 is the tagged string <bitmap:base/client/ui/ci/skull> %1, mokeytonic2001 is the name of the victim, mokeytonic2001 is the name of the killer.
