Servers timing out in the middle of a round.

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

Lately I'm noticed a lot of games interrupted because the server "times out" while there is still time left to play on the map.

Especially with the new Berezina map and its long rounds. It seems like half the rounds I play end before they should because of server settings.

It's very frustrating.

Happens a lot. Angers the hell out of me, finding a low ping server playing a good map and having fun until everyone freezes in place and connection is lost ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

thats either the server crashing or you're client is dropped.

it happens when you disconnect but RO still thinks its connected, and waits for the packets that will never come.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

I'm not talking about getting disconnected.

I'm talking about servers ending the round before the actual map timer is over.

Example, you play on Berezina and there's 30 minutes left to play while both sides have reinforcements. Then right in the middle of the action, the round is interrupted with the "end of round "music and you go to the map voting screen.

I makes eveybody go "WTF?!??!".

That's not timing out.

That probably happens when the server admin is fed-up of the map, and requests a change by mapvote. They can also just cycle to the next map themselves if they feel like it.

i really hate that. it always happens on berezina, which is my favorite map, so i always vote for it again.

I'm pretty sure it happens automatically since everyone just votes for Berezina again and no admin say anything about it.

Some servers have a time limit set, and when it is reached the round will end without warning regardless of the map's own time limit. I find it very annoying too and try to avoid those servers.

Hi,

Here is my understanding of this issue: There is a time limit setting for a round in the server configuration so admins can set a round to end at 15 minutes for example. In any other case the game should run until either side completes their objectives. If something else happens its due to connection problems, server crashing or admin changing map manually. In some maps defending side can win only by defending succesfully until the time ends. Admin can also set the number of round wins required to win the map. It is often set so that 2 rounds is enough for winning so after either side gets 2 wins the map ends.

Bat Guano is correct. Since Berezina is usually set up for a 60 (?) minute round and, typically, the first round takes up almost the entire 60 minutes (especially if teams are full), if the server has a 90 minute OVERALL map rotation timer, the 2nd round will inevitably not go to completion and ends abruptly for the next map vote.

It always seems to happen right at the best bit of the round.

ya, right when everythings at its most intense.
there were two tanks right next to each other (really close) so i dropped a satchel right between them, and then the round eneded.

I have it too....it happens @ about half of the gameround, it says: ''Connection Lost'' whilst the server is a good one with low ping!

and thats not the only 'small bug'. There is lots more.
RO developers have alot to patch.

Yea this happens on the <RTR> server that I noticed, not really a problem when playing shorter maps but with Berezina it bites.

But it's still an awesome server and many thank yous to <RTR> for hosting Berezina.

This happens when deadbeat dumb clueless admins have a timelimit set on their servers, RO shoulden't play this way, I don't know if this is a default setting for RO or if they are actually turning it on, either way there should be no timelimit, just Winlimit.
