Spec' mode due to no data (C2S) ????? HELP


Recommended Posts

I am always being put in spec mode on this server. What's the deal is it my crappy dial-up connection or the 17thP server ?

 

Other subspace servers don't give me anywhere near as much trouble.

You get to suck titties in tw? Seems like I been playin in the wrong zone..... Closest thing you can get to that in 17th is when Cokey asks you to attach.

Look at your keyboard once in awhile, moron.

Don't you think the quote thing looks snazzy in a sig?

You have been put in spectator mode due to no data (C2S) is the error I am getting.

 

Framerate does not seem to be a cause, i get the same error if i am in 800x600 or 1280x960.

I keep getting this error while playing on the 17th parallel. It's the only server that gives me this particular error. What is it and how can i fix it ?

 

I play over a dial-up connection so i can expect being put in to spec mode from lag from time to time, but 17thP is always dumping me in spec mode with this odd error.

Lag, pure and simple. It could be anything from the amount of players nearby, to your hard drive swapping it's pagefile. But rest !@#$%^&*ured, no data (C2S = client to server) means you aren't getting your packets to the server.

 

Sounds odd, but wiggle the phone jacks that go into the modem, and into the wall. If your phone line to the modem is near power cables, move them, and if you have a long cord that is rolled into coils... straighten it out so it doesn't create interference for itself (like an electromagnet.)

Thanks for the reply. Client to server = C2S that makes sense!

 

I'll try those suggestions, why is it that only 17th Parallel gives me this specific error ?

Some computers tend to lagout while they are loading the text.lvz that the public of 17th parallel uses. It is a complex file. For older computers it takes time to load the lvz (taking the whole processor for a few secs) and because you arent sending any packets during that time you can lagout because of this.

 

Try disabling optional graphics and it might go better.

 

You can disable optional graphics in View / Options / Other in the main menu of Continuum.

 

Let me know the outcome
