[B1.3][CRASH][Client] Crash when joining some servers

[fng_thatoneguy]

From the Beta 1.3 Dedicated Server topic:

After the update of the client and server the game crashes when trying to connect to the server on the first screen of the game ( favorite servers ), when going onto the third screen all is ok. ( Canyon )
I have received this error from a few players, i also have the same issue.

I had this happen today when trying to join a server in the USA | Nevada zone called "Get Up and Go" - I had 3-4 others from my Team try to connect to it and were all met with the same fate.

Our game client crashes immediately to desktop after the "Joining server..." message appears (shortly after clicking "Join" on the server info screen.)

I don't know what is different about their server and your server than mine... list your specs and settings as well so we can start narrowing things down.

I have updated servers and client now... I connected successfully to both TM2: Canyon (Time Attack) and ShootMania Storm: Royal.

I played through three maps on Canyon with ~5 players and had no problems with map changes.

On Royal, I was the only player but the initial snapshot delta times already look better. I'm excited to see how it goes when we hopefully load the server up tonight.

Thanks for the update!

Well, I didn't get to play ShootMania tonight, but we played TrackMania 2 Canyon rotating between Rounds mode and Time Attack mode with XASECO 2 and my own TournaMania plugin running. The server had 13-20 people the entire time and it ran great for us (players came in from all around the world.)

That is my report, but I understand others aren't having the same luck. I'm not sure what I can share to help but I'm running the server on:

Intel Core 2 CPU (1.8GHz - NOT Duo)
2GB RAM
Windows XP Professional SP3

I'm running concurrently a Mumble server, TM2 Canyon Time Attack server and ShootMania Storm Royal server on it.
We had 5 people in the Mumble server while we played, and 0 people in the ShootMania server as far as I know.

My bandwidth is 30Mbit down/6Mbit up and I configured both ManiaPlanet servers for:

Code: Select all

connection_uploadrate: 5120
connection_downloadrate: 10240

Hope that helps. Sorry to hear about those of you with less fortunate circumstances while playing with this latest update.

The problem that you freeze while loading depends on the map (Probably...).

This one here ends up in a 3 minute loadscreen: http://sm.mania-exchange.com/maps/962/i ... vil-donkey others do not.

The same problem here. Our Server is up to date. Nobody by Nadeo have time to fix this problem? I'm nerved. Why the TM2 User must have this stupid Beta-Phase for Storm? We will play TM2 and no other. Will this be in Future the same for Questmania? Or the other Enviroment?

Dear Nadeo Developer, please fix this or give us the chance to play TM2 without to be a Betatester.

The version of ManiaPlanet that was delivered with Canyon was only a pre-Alpha, sorry

It will be the version you can see now, if they don't change anything further.

There is still the possibility to go back to the first version, but then everytime you start it you have to skip the update.

Hey guys,

i've got the same error, i have some more server, and just on one map this happen.

When the "error map" runs on my both train server nothinh hapen, you can join how much you want it works.

but when the "error map" is running on my Publik server, with the same mappack, the same dedicated, the same plugins! the game Crashes!

And i have no idea what i could do.

The Funny thing is, that all other maps of this pack works fine. So there is one map, and it all falls down...

i Work on it since 3 days already... :/

[TMarc]

there is an error with one block. Is it a old map (created with Canyon under MP1) or a map created when Nadeo added the new tunnel blocks? For a short time there was a issue with some textures on dedicated servers...

[hacki65]

LOOOL, and nobody from Nadeo can fix this stupid problem?

[darmaya]

is the third day i can't enter my own server at trackmaniaserver.org,
they stated that is not a server issue,
in the meantime... ?
Nobody still have same issue?
thanx all

Same here, i can't use my server for 3 days (also trackmaniaserver.org). I have spent many hours trying to fix the server by myself (countless restarts, modified settings, new maps etc.) - it was useless.

I also do not believe the crashes are related with only some maps. I have tried a lot of maps (even the NADEO maps) without success, most players failed to login. Again and again. I am just wondering why some severs are obviously are not affected ?!

be sure to have all necessary updates on both local and server installation.
Or only use Canyon / ManiaPlanet 1.0 without newer updates to connect to old servers.
