Problem with server


(garv284) #1

I set up a dedicated server on one of my machines and i went to play onit on another computer with my friends and i was disconnected from it with this error message “CL_ParsePacketEntity: end of message”. Any ideas of how to fix this? :???:

Reconnect.

ET has a bit of a bug that can cause the client to attempt to send commands to the server before the connection is setup; the net result of this bug is that the initial data the server sends will be decrypted properly. The incorrectly decrypted data will still be interpreted, and will result in messages like ‘configstrings > MAX_CONFIGSTRING’, ‘CL_ParsePacketEntities: end of message’, or ‘CL_ParseGamestate: bad command byte’.

You can mitigate the problem by making a conscious effort to avoid pressing any keys or mouse buttons (including the wheel) that result in commands being sent to the server (e.g. weapnext, weapprev) between the ‘Awaiting challenge…’ message and the actual level-loading screen.
