Server Problem For 1 Person??

Post by Turbo123 »

I got a post in my server forums that I need some help with.

For some reason, this server and this server alone, is giving me problems. For one thing, I crash when I attempt to join, and joining another server before joining this one seems to fix it. And when I do finally join the game, my nav map gets bugged out and I cannot see it. I don't know why and I cannot think of a fix for it. Hopefully someone else can think something up? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what could be causing this, Anybody know of a setting I might have wrong? And no one else but him has reported anything yet.

Thanks for any help!

Which server is this?

I am just wondering because I do have a problem with one EM server.
Galactica1. It is a strange problem.

If I reboot my modem it seems to fix it sometimes but not always. I reboot my computer seems to help too but here again I am not sure if its coincidence.

Joining other server first also is something that seems to work but his can give me problems too if I don't quit game completely after online session there is always a chance I have missing graphics when i join a second time.


Wait oh ok. I am a bit slow to catch on.
This is your CosmiConflict server that is giving someone problems.
Interesting, different server same type of problem.

I will do some testing to see if I have a problem joining your server too.

Yeah, I haven't had these issues yet. So I cannot even say what the problem could be. Thanks for any help/information you can give!

My suspicion is that People using different kind of mods will have on and of problems connecting to different Servers depending on the type, size and content of the mod.
If you have trouble connecting to a Server to rule out mods, uninstall all mods and start with a clean version of the program without mods and see if the problem goes away!...;):cool:

Maars posted very good advice. If you want to just disable any mods you have such as "Ships" "environment" or others, you can edit their name and add a note such as "SHIPS on hold" instead of "SHIPS". This leaves the mod there for future use ( when and if you delete what you added to the file name) but the game will not load it.:)

:cool: Or, if you have a copy of JSGME, you can use it to quickly swap mods in and out of the game.

"The Empreror" posted this as a reply,
FIXED!

I ended up fixing the issue last night before I went to bed. Turns out the issue with the crashes was that the game only uses 2GBs of memory to run off of. I got a program called "CFF Explorer" to open the EXE file and allow it to use more than 2GBs of memory. Now I no longer get crashes. As for the Nav map not appearing, I messed with the settings abit in game, and it seems that having shaders on LIMITED fixes it.

Thanks for your posts anyways. At least if anyone has this issue in the future, they can refer to here for a fix. :)
Thanks for the help.

I use only limits mods. No nebula or ships, default cockpit and only a small Hud mod.
My problem with G1 might be a bit different.
The game does not crash, I just get the server "full or your IP has been blocked" message.

Seems very random.

btw Turbo123 I have not had any troubles joining your server so far.

Thanks for the info, Yeah I do know that you can use these program extenders and I will try tonight myself because I want to be FANCY! :) I love the community submitted mods to the game.
