Hello,
After much trial and error and of course frustration I turn to you for help with my disco issues.
Ever since I got my new (physically completely new) glass-fiber connection (100MB up and down) I have been getting regular disconnects in rfactor. This has been going on for months now.
The disconnect always behaves in a typical way. Others on the server will see the message that I disconnected but it will only tell me several minutes later, and then I have to leave the server myself. I can keep on driving for some reason.
It seems however that the internet connection itself is fine. I never lose teamspeak connection or lose connection in any other game. Actually the same thing happens in Race07, which is basically rfactor with a different coat.
Even when the issue occurs there is no log of any connection issues or hick ups as far as I can tell.
What I tried:
I tried different rfactor installs.
I tried three different computers
I tried using a different cable from router (experia box) to pc.
I tried taking out my little ethernet switch box
Obviously I have rfactor listed as an exception in the windows firewall.
In my house I also have yet another computer which acts as a dedicated server to run rfactor. I never lose connection to that but of course that is within my local network so that isn't saying much. Also, I've run 12 hour races on this server without people having disco issues.
What I haven't tried:
-Trying to stay connected to a different server.
I always have these issues on the servers of Simjunkies.org where I am a member.
It could be that the issue only occurs there though no one else there has this problem.
It's also a bit hard to test since I can sometimes go a whole evening without disconnecting.
Two weeks ago we had an event where we had 18 races of 45 minutes in a period of 24 hours. This gave me plenty of time to do tests. I disconnected around 10 out of the 16 races I joined. That gives you an idea of the frequency.
-A completely different internet connection.
The isp is saying the issue isn't their fault since the line stays up. The only way to prove that it is would be to use a completely different connection. I will see if I can borrow the neighbors wifi or something.
If anyone recognizes this scenario or has other tips. I'd be very happy to hear them because at this point I don't really know where to look.
Thank you reading.
