This is the first good response I see, thanks Spmn.

I found an updated version of it made by the original author. It will be hard to ask few players to put it and analyse all that data (maybe I could change the settings of it to something better), in case that mass timeout happens again. Also, I see that it has memory leaks (my game got up to ~1.4gb when everything got bugged) and few other stability problems.

A timeout for 22 players, we were ~25 players left.

The weird thing is that ~3 of those players were in the same vehicle with me (a bus), so 3 players timeouted and 3 didn't. It's like the one who is doing the exploit can choose who timeouts, because I didn't received one of those timeouts for a few months already.

By the way, that RakLogger is crashing the game after a short play time (~1 hour), probably because it uses way too much memory or it has memory leaks. I can't give it to my players and I also can't detect where the timeouts come from because I don't receive any timeout.

Can't believe it. This is by far the biggest mass timeout I ever received. This sh*t is ruining everything. I see that the last ID who timeouted had ID 59. When I saw the server now it had only 30 players.

15 euro monthly for hosted tab, just for my players to receive mass timeouts, great ! Thanks SA:MP !

[IstuntmanI]

The thing is that Romania's biggest servers are hosted at them, having a total of a few thousands players.

When I made a ticket they said that they checked everything and saw no problem. Also, they didn't receive a ticket about this problem from any other server hosted at them (well, others may not see the timeouts ?). I also checked everything in my server, there's no problem with it. They look professional. I'm hosted at them since 2012 and before 0.3.7 (or 0.3z, not sure when this problem first started to happen) mass timeouts never happened.

I ocasionally receive

Quote:

[warning] dropping a split packet from client

in console, but today I got only ~3 warns like that.

If it would be a flood I think that if I don't receive a timeout, I should have lag at least, but that's not the case, the game is fine for me.

It happened again today, but it is weirder than before:

They were timeouting one by one (as you can see in the timestamp). Yes, the "restarting" kind of timeout. No helpful thing in the serverlog at all.

Sure it's not ddos? correct me if i'm wrong or someone already said this

They checked and they said that there wasn't any DDoS when those timeouts happened.

[JohnnyA]

Been happening on a server I play/admin at it. I pretty much timeout even on LSRP while my internet is working fine too.

[Jayse]

Happens on the server I play on too. I believe it's something from SA-MP server itself, the big difference is, all players timeout at once, and then connect again.

Yeah, that's what happens.

Again today (well, after my last post it still happened sometimes, but it happened rarely in the last months because I no longer have hosted tab):

Yeah, not too many players this time, "luckily" enough.

[SickAttack]

It's either a script related issue, or your host just isn't good for hosting gameservers.

It isn't a client issue, other servers would have the same issue otherwise.

Nah, the hoster he uses is pretty popular here in Romania and several 1000 player servers are hosted there with no problem.

Have you checked what packets/RPCs are sent to players before they timeout as I've told you before?

Read all replies in this topic. It also happens to other servers. I analysed everything in my script. The guys from the host also checked everything they could. I'm hosted where few of Romania's biggest servers are hosted too.

Well, I just started using this:
https://github.com/urShadow/RakNetManager

Few minutes ago I was thinking about those packets/RPCs. I'm curious if they still call one of those callbacks if packets/RPCs are sent to a player after he actually lost connection to the server. I find this thing a bit difficult. :c If they are still called, there's no reason to actually track them, as there could be some legit packets/RPCs sent to the player after he loses connection from a bad packet/RPC.

Also, I can't really test this packet/RPC tracking as this mass timeout happens pretty rarely.

[SickAttack]

That's my point, it's a script related issue then.

There's no [warning] in server log like "dropping split packet", "client exceeded messages limit", "client exceeded messages hole limit" or similar thing. I also added debugs for all Kick/BlockIpAddress/Ban/BanEx in my scripts before, some mass timeouts happened while these debugs were enabled, but there was no function of those called. Everything is fine in my script. I even checked every plugin's source, everything is fine, no plugin has anything to do with kicks/IP blocks. I never had problems like this until 0.3.7. I started my server in 2009.

Also, other forum members also replied here that it happens to other servers too, with various configurations and locations. Just read everything I posted in this topic instead of claiming the same thing all over again. Also, I saw few other topics related to this exact same thing.

If I correctly remember, everything started after I bought hosted tab for the first time, after those internet lists exploits appeared and the list got closed, cloning the hosted tab.

You using VPS or slots? If VPS can I know which OS? I was facing the same issue. But somehow I fix it my own.

[IstuntmanI]

I already said what I am using. Anyway, Ubuntu 10.04, AFAIK. Shared host.

I'll stop answering to future replies if the answers are in previous posts. I don't want to repeat everything everytime. Just read previous posts if you are curious.

[HydraHumza]

Well. I had the same issue I tried both Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. The solution I found is I move to Debian and it working fine. So I suggest you that.

[SickAttack]

The fact this only happens on a few servers, means this is an issue on one of your ends. Not the client.

Massive timeouts happened way before 0.3.7, some servers managed to fix the issue after having everyone timeout and timeout.

That's a Ubuntu issue since I found. As I waste 1 week on finding solution. Since I move to Debian 8. I faced not a single issue like this. I face the same issue as he mention and the solution I find is switching to Debian. As I suggest him same.

[IstuntmanI]

I don't get how it could drop connections as they checked and said that it didn't drop any connection at that time. I don't think they are lying (they have no reason for that), they look alright. I don't think it could happen without them being able to see it. As I said, they host some of the biggest romanian servers and such problems would be detected really fast.

Also, I won't switch to something else, due to various reasons.
