Data Stability

[Tigairius]

Okay, not all of our connections are completely perfect and we don't all directly connect through a nice, tight wired connection straight to our ISP. Those of us who have issues with this know the frustrations with Graal disconnecting you right after you log on to a server. I am on a satellite connection, so of course there will be a bit of packet loss/corruption. It seems as though if the packets aren't 100 percent perfect, Graal disconnects me any time I try to log on to a server:
A) That has a lot of people on it, or in the level I'm trying to connect to.
B) That I've never logged on to before.
C) That just randomly receives corrupted data.

Is there a way you can just skip past the corrupted data if it's received instead of disconnecting me for it?

I always get this in my console log:

Received illegal data (2) from game server
You have been disconnected from the game server.

This didn't happen before Graal5, so please fix this in the next version because it's very frustrating, thanks!

Normally data never gets corrupted, the TCP/IP protocoll is ensuring that the data is resent in case there is a problem.
The error could be caused by fact that you have a lot of trading cards. It has already been fixed a few weeks ago, but some servers might not be restarted yet. You get that on any server or only some?

Uh oh, you better remove them ASAP to stop all these horrible bugs and complaints!

All servers, especially if I have to download new graphics and stuff when I log on.

Hmm. Satellite might be subject to some packet degradation, but TCP/IP should pick up broken packets and retransmit like Stefan said.

Could you test it on Zodiac? It has been restarted today.

Right now it's not having that problem, but I tried logging on earlier today and it did, so if it happens I'll re-post in this thread.
