::w00t:: Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Ok i've tried to get help in MTA IRC channel but had no luck so im turning to you people in the forum. Whenever i connect to a server and start playing MTA 0.3 (I've tries numerous servers even official ones) i get disconnected after a minute or so and it says either, Connection to Server Timeout or CRC Check Timeout and im fed up with it now so i need to know if anyone else has same problem and if anyone knows a fix to this or to make it so it happens after like an hour at least so at least i can get some enjoyment out of it: GTA Version: 1.1 OP: XP Net Connection: ISDN Help appreciated lots. Good work MTA Team on gettin 0.3 out for the new yr -w00t
::w00t:: Posted January 2, 2004 Author Posted January 2, 2004 That was even worse, but ill try it again!
::w00t:: Posted January 2, 2004 Author Posted January 2, 2004 nope, still no luck, ill try totally reinstallin VC and MTA
::w00t:: Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 Anyone, please? im gonna try reinstalling VC totally in a bit Thanks
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted January 3, 2004 MTA Team Posted January 3, 2004 rty connecting o servers which show a low ping
::w00t:: Posted January 3, 2004 Author Posted January 3, 2004 lol m8 i connect to the lowest ping servers there is on ASE
DxEntity Posted January 3, 2004 Posted January 3, 2004 I'm having this same problem, all patched up 1.1..etc. Everything's fine except for these crazy timeouts. I could hardly play earlier because every 1-2 minutes I'd timeout. Once I got that CRC check timeout, but I believe the whole server got that cause I asked someone else and they attested to it. Here's some of my specs Windows 2k Pro Cable (Unsat. Network) Geforce 2 MX 400 64 meg
Guest Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 After I finally got the game working, I too cannot stay on a server more than a minute or two. Even on a LAN with one other computer, when I move the ping goes to 30000+ and times out after a while.
Guest Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I've had a similar problem with timeouts, which happen regardless of VC being loaded or not. The timeouts are split fairly evenly between "Connection timed out." and "Client CRC Check Timeout." After a bit of testing my conclusion is simply that you can't play on a server hosting 16 players using a single channel ISDN or lower connection. With 16 players on a server I get a constant flow of 11.5K/s in, and since a single ISDN line only gives about 7.5K/s of bandwidth, the server hammers me out of existance when using a single ISDN. However with 8 players I get a constant 6.5K/s in, which a single ISDN channel can handle, although would still be beyond a modem. Unfortunately most decent servers are for 16 players or more, and since dual ISDN costs me an arm and a leg to run, no MTA for me... Hmm *does rough calculation* is it me or does 5Kbps of information per player seem like quite a lot?
DxEntity Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 The bandwidth isn't a problem for me..at all. I'll just timeout, either on stunt or DM. It's been more inconsistant lately but the problem is still there. *sighs*
Flesh eater Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 do you all try to let vc on 1.0 and not 1.1 ??
ChimpySkater Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Yes it does this constatly with version 1.0 also. But i went on last night and I noticed that if you join a game with low MAX players it wont disconnect you! Yes, I know you wont be able to join big games but at least you can still play. If this does not work for someone post more below. Thank you.
WhiteRabbit Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 I usually stop playing mta every time i start because I'm too frustrated from trying to keep connected. Often times I'll stay connected long enough to get near another player, then I get "disconnected from server". I am on a dsl, 1.5 down, 128kbit up. I allways go for the best ping servers I can, and usually keep a low ping until I'm disconnected. This issue is new to .3 and .3r2. I am using vc v1.0. On the plus side, I get to see lots of "chicken with it's head cut off" behaviour.

Guest Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 I need more than a "just connect to another low ping server" answer.My ASE doesnt work.
