Whenever I attempt to log into either A or B, after the area finishes loading, I am then immediately booted from the server.

What information would be helpful in looking into this?

Same thing to me

It should be fixed / more relaxed now now, it's an implementation to hopefully help prevent crashes.

What exactly is this implementation that causes people to be booted so sporadically? I've just had to re-log about four times before it finally stopped booting me. It seems to happen considerably more when I try and switch servers.

Specifically, it has to assign commands to your character once it finishes loading. Before it was assigning commands to objects that could possibly not have loaded yet. And it was doing this after 6 seconds, which means if you're being booted after 30 seconds, half of the things that were happening did not work, and more importantly, were crashing the server. You cannot AssignCommands to a null object, as when you are joining, you are "in the void" as it were, and you need to exist, for the server to check variables, and give you class specific items. (i.e. HiPS hide, Fall Widget, Etc, etc).

There's a 30 second window, and it checks every 5 seconds,so if it takes you longer to load than that, the server assumes there's a problem with your character/connection and boots you out. This limit can be tweaked, but that's a long time to load.

I apologize if this might be frustrating, it will probably be tweaked with feedback similar to this, but I am optimistically seeing that the servers have not crashed since this has been done, and ultimately that was the goal.

That's okay. I think I understand why I'm booted so much now. I'm usually switched out into another window when I'm in that loading-void, so NwN takes longer to actually load.

But some areas, Wiltun in particular, take a long time to load for me. So it's a bit of a hassle.

My attempts to relog had gone as far as 14 times once, it is frustrating not being able to get IG, for it boots me all the time

I have been working further optimization, and hope to get it out sometime today. This will contain the relaxed load time. Instead of 30 seconds, I will bump it up to 60 seconds.

Are you sure it's set to 30 seconds? My game does load in under 30s but I'm still being booted.

I'm also not sure how good 60 seconds will be for high-res areas, like Winya, which already take at least a good minute to load for some people.

It's 30 seconds :wink:

Hot fix is in... 60 seconds now.

Hopefully that'll clear things up. Another larger fix is ready to be added... but it'll need testing and I don't want downtime or bugs ;)
