Server reject connection with error messages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since today's update (02/05/2013), server (started via -server on a client) is rejecting connections and spams the rpt with these kind of error messages:

2013/05/02, 17:13:15 Server error: Player without identity Kemor (id 1807414892) {F19249}

Details

Legacy ID
1789442471
Severity
None
Resolution
Unable To Duplicate
Reproducibility
Always
Category
Multiplayer
Steps To Reproduce
  • Install the game
  • Start the client with a -server parameter
  • Start a client and connect to it
  • The client will get stuck at the loading page (before lobby).
  • The server will fill the .rpt with these error messages.
Additional Information
  • The server is hosted by a 3rd party (MarksMod in this case).
  • This is reproducible 100% of the time by myself, at home. Simply started a -server client and trying to connect to it will do the same.
  • The ID is NOT the proper one for the players who try to connect.
  • When testing player IDs in a self hosting MPMission (-host), the IDs are the proper one and there is no issue.
  • Multiple players tried and have the same issue (you'll find at least 2 different ones in the attached .rpt)
  • The game, both on the server AND the players' side has been re-installed fully at least once.
  • Both players and server are updated to the latest data_f hotfix.
  • Since the players do not actually connect, the server_log.log does not actually hold any information.

Updating this to mention that it "seems" related to the changes indicated in this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148288-Dedicated-server-status&p=2320091&viewfull=1#post2320091

That said, I don't really understand everything in there so I'm not 100% sure

I'm getting the exact same problem.
Until the 02/05 update we had 2 instances of the ArmA3.exe -server running next to each other without problems.
Now it seems that only the first one to start allows connection. The other one just gives the "Server error: Player without identity" error, no matter who's connecting.

It would be nice to get more information about this...

Outdated. Open a new ticket if new issues arise.
