servers being duplicated in the server list
 

Lol..

is it just me..whats going on with the MP today

Just you. Time to check files for integrity and your provider for stable connection.

Files were checked and all was fine...just done a random exit and launch again and now they have fanished..

I had a dedicated server showing up with 16 players before i exited..come back and 'it' along with a couple of other servers were gone..

I get random server failed authentication msg's now and then and occasional timeout msgs..obviously bugs..its not my connection or ISP

I think people are a bit quick to blame bugs for any gameplay issue that arises, everyones pc config is different so different setups will yeild different results, as I posted before I to have had the "authenication" error and it was because I wasnt sure the misson was loading so hit escape, my fault. There is an issue with long loading times and the server admins are sending their logs to Luthier so that the devs can address the issues, sound drop out being the most important imo.

Just my 2 cents, S`

Ok so i was just flying inRepka DS#1 ..and it started to go all stuttery, micor stutters if you like...AI vanished in front of me and i knew it was time for the big kick..just like yesterday..

Now in the server it still shows 21 players yet when you click on it no names appear...after 5 mins it still shows 21 players but now 3-4 names appear, i then try and join and i get the message of authentication again..

Its either a bug or Steam..pne or the outher..its not my system or my connection

Thats the end of my night right there unless i wanna fly in the island slaughter maps...after this happens to me i cant join that server again doesnt matter what i try...not good

The reason. Happens almost every hour.

Why cant i connect afterwards though...i can connect to another server or another map of yours but i cannot come back to that full real server once i get kicked...but seems like others can, i dont understand.

I reboot, turn off firewalls, check integrity, try 10+ times to connect even try direct connect but nothing....

Its not your fault but its defo not funny anymore..every night this happens after an hour of flying max

Are you sure your ISP does not loose any packets otw to steam? You are the only one who had servers disappearing from the list 2 times already and had doubled servers in the list. Smth is wrong with your connection for sure. Packets are lost somewhere.

Try adding servers into Favorites in Steam. They will not show up in Steam but will in game though. Go to Faves menu in game try connecting from there.

Restart your router and switch if you have one. Check router settings, upgrade all networking drivers and software. Test another ISP.

Dont know how to add a server through steam..

Mate its only that 1 server out of all the others i fly in that doesnt allow me to rejoin..seems a bit strange to me that it should be my connection..ive tested my connection many times and do not lose packets.. i have a 30mb connection here in the UK, one of the quickest available here and have no problems playing any other games online

Also mate, youd have alot of players there then youd have none...

are you completely positive your not having issues with that map/server? and its just me thats bothered to make a note..after all you can just come out and go somewhere else if you cant get back in..

seems a bit strange that 1 min youve got 25-30 flyers in then you have this server Steam issue then you have alot of players back again....15-20 mins later you have none..

given the issues with MP with sound and all the other lil problems your having with Steam id say this isnt a problem my end...If it was im sure it would of shown itself before now and would show itself in any other server which it doesnt...

just trying to get to the bottom of this thats all

It must not be quick it must be reliable (to not loose packets). There are programs available to check for packet loss.
Repka 1 had the most players online for 2 days. That is why it is the only one you can not rejoin. Too much data to transfer = more chance to loose something.

Get on Teamspeak or Ventrilo with your friends and ask them if they can join when you can not. After you loose connection try waiting 2 minutes before joining.

No packet loss mate..tested it on 3 different programs/websites now..

nvm i dont know what it is or how to rectify it..i hope its a bug and can be sorted..as i said before its ONLY that room, none of your others or on different servers..Syndicate server has had big numbers too and i dont have that Msg or connection problems trying to join so who knows...

I know when Steam is about to do its thing so next time maybe ilo leave as opposed to getting kicked then try to rejoin 5-10 mins later see if that works
