GWD Server News

Post by Zopharks »

Effective immediately, the GWD Dedicated Server has been modified to automatically kick anyone who drops over one hundred packets in a single session.
Please note that these are only kicks - not bans. If nothing else, they can be considered to be motivation for people to correct whatever connectivity issues might plague them.

Please note that this is still being tested, so if the server goes into a violent rage for seemingly no reason and tries to kill you... Its nothing personal. Probably.

You were in GSA when we told Glude we would.

Random note: We had a fun time testing this, because even with the limit set to one we were having to think of stupid ways to force ourselves to drop packets. Tas also had a lot of fun making it, as can be seen with

Fortunately everything is pretty solid now.

Considering you dropped about 2600 packets in an hour yesterday, probably a lot less than that. :(

Your issue seems pretty fixable to me, as long as you're willing to put some time into fixing your wireless connection. I think I made it pretty clear how you'd go about doing that last time we spoke, but if you need any further help I'd be happy to provide it. If you want to play on the server for extended periods of time though, you're going to need to get it solved.

It was not 2600, it was 250-300, get it right.

It's a lot more than you think. You're going to have to do something about it.

You might've been looking at packets retried, I guess. Anyway, just try some of the suggestions Tas gave you, you can probably correct whatever the problem is and then everyone will be happy.

That can't be possible if I'm in gwd for an hour, unless that was taken when during one of the 6-10 player defend base games.

It's perfectly possible, it happens all the time for you. Also, that was a 5 player TDM game.

Ok, the program works good, maybe to good. Lately everytime I get kicked from gwd, I try to re-join it within the giants menu, but sometimes I get a giants error even when I join another game within the menu.

Any idea why this has been happening?
