Multiplayer connection issues

[Firemaster-nld]

Me and a friend restarted to play prison architect.

All is well, untill our prison is becomming a real prison [on a shakedown we have +/- 1500 objects to search.
The client disconnects and we cannot connect again.

this has to due with the size of your prison, because when we go back 1 save [autosave or just a hard save we made of our own] it works, but then we hit some kind of cap limit and the disconnects happen again.

So we cannot make a decent large prison together at this moment.

See attachment for our current savegame who has this problems.

 

[Firemaster-nld]

bug still exists after update.. please make a patch for it.

 

[Cormyre]

Have the same issue (perhaps), looking at the debug text, noticed where it's closing the map on connection... if a Paradox/Introversion person can help.

Wife and I had been working on a large prison all day, her game crashed (she was host) and won't let me reconnect to it.

[Shadowner]

A few friends and I have also experience the same issue. We have worked on a map for quite some hours and the next day when we try to join it says Failed to Join.

I checked the logs and I got similar reports as Cormyre.
I will check at home to see if I can add my logging to this post to give more insight in the issue.

 

[JunkiePoet]

hi, Is there any solution for this problem?
we created 3 prison with my friend, but after a while we couldn't connect again.

 

[kuzkotopia]

Me and my friend also have the same issue, running as admin doesn't solve the problem, so I suspect that it's not a permission issue.
Is there someone investigating this issue or is the game's developpement abandonned?

 

[LRTNZ]

I have experianced this issue a number of times playing with friends in multiplayer. As far as I have found, it is due to there being a ~50kb/s data limit on the downstream to the client. Any higher than that, even just a tiny peak, will drop the clients connection immediately.

 

[kuzkotopia]

Could that limit be configured somehow? cause the error we get are decompression related on our side...

 

[Bob4689]

Not sure why but I'm having the exact same problem. My brother and I played for a while got to about 200+ prisoner capacity and now it won't let me back in. Does anybody have a solution?

 

[DarthNick34]

A friend and I are having this exact same issue and it really irritates us because we really enjoy the game. You get to a big enough prison (but really not that big in the grand scheme of things) and all of the sudden you cannot play together.

Same log as Cormyre posted in comment #3.

Please fix! We don't really want to play anymore until this is fixed and it's preventing us from buying island bound.

 

[Hammerite]

This sounds exactly the same as what I'm experiencing with a friend. We reported this to Paradox a long time ago and were assured it would be fixed, even went as far to provide them with logs. We revisited the game again yesterday after a long time, hoping it would be fixed. As soon as we purchased more land I couldn't reconnect.

I would like to purchase the DLC but this is making it difficult to justify that.

Please fix!

 

[Hammerite]

Friend keeps getting failed to join message pop up everytime he tries to join me online after i expand the prison by buying land. soon as i do this it boots him out of the server and never lets him back in. PLEASE FIX

This sounds familiar

 

[MrOhJa]

still the same issue

 

[Snippezkiller]

This problem still exists as of today without fix?

 

[Jameson582]

found somewhat of a fix if u pause at 7:15am its seems to allow you to join after a few times

 

[xz3r0x]

Can confirm that pausing while waiting for connect works, the client downloads the map from the host but if the host doesn't pause, the in-game time will advance so much "depending on the current speed factor" that when the client tries to join with the downloaded map data it's out of sync.

So hit that pause first.

 

[Dahogger]

That still doesnt work for larger maps

 

[zieluś]

That still doesnt work for larger maps

In small maps we have the same problem with my girlfrend. The problem start when we try create more and more places. We don't buy new

allotment. She or me was disconnect when we try connect and a maps is donwloading from serwer to host.

How you sean this log?

 

[Lukas11112000]

MP is still broken, at this point we can suspect the culprit to be photon, please go with a different hosting method or allow p2p/private server hosting, Paradox.

A broken MP is worse then none but a working one is best, so please fix it or make a workaround, this is just frustrating!
