Frequent disconnects - Private server - Steam Version

Kiesman · Post by **Kiesman** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 6:04 am

Hi there.

I've been having trouble trying to play this game with my friend over a private server hosted on his computer. After around 10 minutes, my friend gets the message "Kiesman has disconnected". I continue to fly around for a bit and then after a minute or so I get "Connection lost: Please wait..." before it gives me the "Save & Exit" menu options. We both have our ports forwarded.

Does anyone have a possible solution for this, or at least any ideas?

Which version of the server program are you using? If it's the 2D, be sure to update to the latest build available today. If it's the 3D, it could be an issue if your friend is trying to run the server program and the client on the same system at the same time using the same connection. Depending on what you want to do in the game, your friend could host using the client directly. Or he'll need a separate machine to run the server program, connect to it via the LAN address for that system, then have you connect via the internet IP (if you are playing over the internet).
