Any help ?
I don't know because if I do click the server, it works perfectly fine. I just can't see the players in there, whether it's full or not--although, that's a given if I can't see the players, the ping, etc.. etc... ? I don't believe I have a firewall on either... though, I'm completely clueless. I know in my preferences it says that the firewall is not on.Z-Man wrote:The method that determines whether a server is reachable does not differ much from the real login, so I don't really know what's happening there; I just have two guesses. The difference may be big enough to make your personal firewall do something weird (especially if it's Norton). Or the servers went into turtle mode, which makes them temporarily unresponsive to server browser pings.
I've a macbook, and the firewall says it's offZ-Man wrote:If it's many more and permanent, it's probably not turtle mode, and rather your firewall doing silly things. The standard Windows firewall usually is fine, but your Internet provider or PC vendor may have installed another one, and another one may be in your router. We (well, I, for one) can't give any more support on that matter, I'm afraid. You have to look, test whether disabling one helps, and if yes, decide whether you just want to keep it disabled or whether you want to fix its configuration.
Causality may be the other way around. The one false positive activation of turtle mode I know is when people drop because their IP address changes for some reason; the server misinterprets their continued attempts to keep the connection up as a flood attack. Turtle mode only affects new connections and pings.dukevin wrote:Turtle mode has been affecting my server a lot lately too and usually when it activates, the server crashes or people disconnect.
That one is specifically only for ping floods. CONNECTION_FLOOD_SENSITIVITY is the one you want negative (or lower). Do report back whether that solves the real problems (not just turtle mode going away, but the disconnections and crashes), if turtle mode CAUSES crashes, I need to know.dukevin wrote:What's the proper way to disable turtle mode all together?
ping_flood_global -1 ?
It still seems to activate with that setting.
