Client crashing / "Already logged in"

Xequma · Post by **Xequma** » Fri Jun 12, 2015 11:13 pm

So I'm using Ender client's and quite frequently throughout the past few days I've been randomly getting booted off the game and sent back to the Login screen, and whenever I try to hit the "Login" button it says "Already logged in" for a bit, then most of the time having to restart the client to get rid of the message, only for it to happen again a few seconds later.

Can anybody help me?

Looking at the logs, your connection is repeatedly timing out, which means that your physical connection to the server is bad or shaky. You should probably traceroute the server to see if you can find the hop that is misbehaving. If it's a case of bad WiFi, that might be remediable.

Okay thanks. How do I "traceroute the server"?

Cheers ~

Okay I figured out how to traceroute and here's what I came up with

I also am using a Netgear AC1200 High Gain WiFi USB Adapter to enhance my internet connection, and I noticed when I unplugged it and tried to log back into H&H the game ran okay, but immediately when I plugged the adapter back into my computer, I was booted off the server. This is a problem because the adapter does enchance my internet connect, yet doesn't seem to work with H&H.

Any ideas here?

Have you been using that adapter only recently?

Yep, only been using it for a few days.

The error mode leads me to believe either 1) that your adapter cycles through various DHCP addresses on the internal network or 2) that your router is spuriously dropping NAT tracking entries for your connection to the server. I cannot imagine imagine any way that behavior #2 would change just because you change network adapters, however, so you may at least want to check for behavior #1. Just monitor the IP address assigned to the adapter and see if it changes over time, and especially when the disconnects happen.

EDIT: Actually, it's not as if it couldn't be a client bug. You may want to verify whether the default client does the same thing.

Is it a Notebook / Laptop with build in WiFi card? If yes do you have it disabled?

My adapter does cycle through various addresses (two to be exact). I'm not sure why it does this but that is probably why it drops so rapidly. This may be pushing your knowledge, but any ideas on how to channel it to a single address? Also it doesn't seem to be working with the normal client either when the adapter is plugged in.

It's a laptop, but the adapter is external.

check at windows forums for your version how to appoint a fixed IP adress to the adapter - it has to be in the same range as your routers IP adress (Standard Gateway IP) and in the same subnetmask - TCP/IPv4 example:

router is 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 - you'll appoint 192.168.1.12 and 255.255.255.0

(in the example i made it .12 to make sure it doesn't use an IP adress already appointed in your Lan network)

btw. the traceroute i find a bit weird:
1. is the Google Fiber Network Box (Router) with a Standard IP assigned for private Lan use
2. (AFAIK) is another Standard IP assigned for private Lan use <----

FYI:
3. + 4. are Google Fiber Kansas
5. is Google Fiber Mountain View
6. is Tinet(GTT) NY
7. is Tinet(GTT) Seattle
8. is Tinet(GTT) / Hetzner CX Paris France
the following are Hetzner Network
