Odd error: No data coming from server

[Guest nam Tobor]

WARNING: No Data Coming From Server

 

I used to play subspace all the time, and have recently reinstalled it. But I've had some unusual problems getting it up and running.

 

Install is fine, and I can connect to all the servers fine. But every time I connect, about 30 seconds in to it, I get the error: WARNING: No Data Coming From Server

 

I know this is normally caused by lag. I remember seeing it before when my connection got laggy. But there is absolutely no lag apparent in those 30 seconds I'm playing or watching. All the other ships are moving crisply, the shots are hitting and killing instantly (trenchwars). The connection seems great. On the main menu, the ping is consistently 100 or so.

 

And the disconnect is very consistent. About 30 seconds of playing, then everything stops.

 

Watching the trace(11 hops) go through it's cycles, it cycles very consistently at around 100 ms. About every 30-50 cycles though, it hiccups, and maxes out for a cycle, before returning to the consistent 100ms. This is probably what's causing the problem, but I don't see why a single hiccup of 1 second every 30 seconds or so should cause the server to disconnect.

 

 

I'm trying this mainly with SSCU Trenchwars, but the same problem has showed up on other servers as well. Does anyone know what's causing this? Problem has shown up in 0.38 and 0.39pr1

The threshold for lagouts is a setting for each server. I would guess that the servers you are trying have strict lag settings and therefore the spike you keep getting will lag you out.

 

Close any messengerr services and anything else you find running in the background (system tray or cntl-alt-del.) Eventually you will figure out what is causing the spike, through trail and error, by closing those background apps.

any p2p or downloads you are running will take most of the bandwidth so i'd close those down before you play.

 

how high is you packet loss, that often causes alot of lag problems.

Which operating system to have?

What type of connection do you have?

[Guest chamacie]

i have this very same problem

i have absolutely no other internetappz running, the only thing that i have running is winamp and i've been running this combination for months without any problems

 

but just now, in the last half an hour i also constantly keep getting 'no data from server' errors.

in other zones i have no problem and my ping and lag is fine and then all of a sudden

Perhaps that one server you want to play is having some temporary problems. Or maybe any of the routers between you and it are having problems. Probably temporary.
