JazzJackrabbit Community Forums - View Single Post - Testers who timeout in JJ2 servers needed

Cpp · 09:30 AM

Here are a bunch of questions from my end. Try to follow the instructions and answer them to the best of your abilities. Do not use jj2 UDP port chooser while testing this out.

What security products are installed on your PC (antivirus programs like AVG, Norton antivirus, Norton internet security, firewalls like Comodo firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, etc.)? Some security products may be blocking your traffic and cause timeout problems as a result. Try to disable any firewalls and the like while testing this theory or even better, play from a computer that doesn't have any potentially troublesome programs installed. Since we are testing out routers here, we'd like to eliminate false positives that are caused by misconfigured software on your computer. See point #3.
Can you host a jj2 server of your own that players can join normally from the internet and don't CTO?
Do you also have problems while joining jj2 internet servers from other computers on your LAN? Do you have problems joining servers which are hosted on another computer on your LAN? Test this out, if you can. Again, I'm putting this here to prove or disprove certain problems. If you can, try this out on different operating systems, possibly on multiple computers. If you have linux on a computer of yours, try running jj2 on it via Wine and see if the problems presist. Describe your findings.
Can you join jj2 servers normally (via jj2 interface) or do they all appear pinging (you have to use other means to join such as a 3rd party multiplayer launcher)?
Do you have timeout problems on each and every internet server you join or only on certain servers?
If applicable, which scenario best describes your problem? This assumes the following things:
- you joined an internet server that has no problems hosting (other people don't time out)
- there are some active people in the server (you can see them in F9 list and you can see them chat)
- you time out after 30 seconds on this server (and every other server you join)
Please note that the part asking you whether you can see other players actually means whether you can see the actual rabbit sprites and NOT people, who are listed in the F9 list.
- A) You can see other players in the server and they can see you. You still time out after 30 seconds.
- B) You can see other players in the server, but they cannot see you or they see you as if you were timing out (blinking).
- C) You can't see anybody in the server, but others can see you normally.
- D) You can't see anybody in the server and others cannot see you either or they see you as if you were timing out (blinking).
- E) Other - please specify.
Repeat the tests above that involve jj2, this time by using jj2 UDP chooser and see if you get any different results. Report your findings.

EDIT: I'm not pushing you to answer all of these questions, just answer as many as you can (especially question #6).
