Camera over laser connection drops

kreepy shared this bug 5 years ago
Outdated

I have laser antennas connected between earth and moonbase. If i try to view one of the cameras over this connection, it displays for about 2 seconds then kicks you out of the terminal every time.

This is with a dedicated server. I have no tried local game yet.

Single player seems to work just fine. Just copied the same game/settings from the dedicated server and viewing the cameras over the laser connection works perfectly.

Maybe it has something to do with server settings. whats your sync distance? unload distance?

sync distance is at the default of 3000. I did not see unload distance on the server manager or the sandbox.sbc file. I checked on both server and my local copy of the game.


One thing I did notice, the two sbc files are definitely different now. This save was copied from the server to my local game directory and then i started it up. So given this i'm assuming that when the game starts up in single player this file gets parsed and some values are changed/adjusted. my server side sandbox.sbc is 34,746 lines and the client side one is 35,467 lines some some extra settings were definitely added. During the copy and loading of the copied game, no settings were changed at all, just copied, start up the game, and load the save from the server.


the settings sections match up on both sides. there are way too many differences for me to list, but most look like maybe NPC settings. In case anyone wants to have a look, i've attached the client and server side sbc files (as txt files) they are about a day apart but that shouldn't matter.

Just adding some more information i've gathered. I copied the latest save from the dedicated server to my local game. ran it, tested camera, was fine. Saved it, and then copied it back to the server. The game was taking way longer to load now compared to the previous copy. Had to wait 2-3 minutes for my base to fully load. Then I had to wait another 5+ minutes to have my remote access to my earth base start working. After things finally fully loaded, i tested the cameras and it worked now. So there is definitely some config difference that happens on the local game compared to the dedicated server. Hopefully they keep working, i'll update this with any other information I come across.

some more information.

the copy from local to dedicated does not work well. Stuck in crychamber for a while. Got out, tried to destroy and rebuild, no tools were loading. After a few minutes tools loaded and was able to destroy, but could not lay down a new one, had to restart the server. This leads me to believe that there is some settings that the dedicated sever does not respond well to compared to local.

ok, some of my files on the dedicated server needed updating, so the loading times are better. The camera over laser still does not work on the dedicated server. The "working" test mentioned above was most likely due to the outdated files. I just tested again, copying back and forth between dedicated and local game and for sure it works on local but not on dedicated.
