Clients Can Hear Sound & Move But Stuck On Loading?

[Defent]

I don't seem to have this particular problem on my Chernarus server. Could it be that it happens to servers who don't run default Epoch maps? (I.e Napf, Saurland etc?). I only have players getting stuck on authentication, but i have had no reports of this error as of yet.

[insertcoins]

Wonder if it is just people running overpoch?

[Defent]

It does seem like an error that could occur when mods are not loaded correctly etc, so Overpoch could be a valid reason.

[MGT]

It's only happening on my OverPoch Namalsk (DayZ Namalsk 0.75) server so I stripped out the Overwatch part, reverted to old mission, wiped test DB and it still does it, so it's more likely the map

[bFe]

I'm running Epoch vanilla and on Chernarus.

Same here.

[Sascha]

Same here.

Same here too. Vanilla DayZ Epoch 1.0.5.1

[Chris9183]

Problem is not related to mod or map; this loading screen problem happens on a totally fresh vanilla epoch Chernarus build.

[MGT]

Getting this in client rpt with -showScriptErrors enabled

Error in expression <ep_ct = _wpnstate select 0;
_cammo_ct = _wpnstate_ct select 4;
_log4 = format['%>
  Error position: <_wpnstate_ct select 4;
_log4 = format['%>
  Error Undefined variable in expression: _wpnstate_ct

Might be related as it's regarding weapon state. There's no filename where this error is originating from but it's not in my mission file or server pbo.

im wondering.. running 1.63 125548 since a week and NO ONE has that problem on my server.. added snapbuild (GetPlayerUIDold used)

[piggd]

I have been testing on a vanilla epoch server and have isolotaed the problem to player_monitor.fsm is not executing endLoadingScreen;  like it should be on 2nd logins.  My fsm skills are light but I am trying to see if I can figure out why it is getting hung up there.  The init.sqf is stopping executing at that point and the way I can tell is I placed

 

endLoadingScreen;

if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
    
    //Run the player monitor
    _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
    _playerMonitor =     [] execVM "player_monitor.sqf";    
    
    //anti Hack
    [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\antihack.sqf";

    //Lights
    //[false,12] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lights_init.sqf";
    
};
 

The game lets me in but it is not executing the code after that block on 2nd and beyond logins.  If I place it here it hangs on 2nd and beyond logins.

 

if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
    
    //Run the player monitor
    _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
    _playerMonitor =     [] execVM "player_monitor.sqf";    
    
    //anti Hack
    [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\antihack.sqf";

    //Lights
    //[false,12] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\local_lights_init.sqf";
    
};
endLoadingScreen;

 

If someone who understands fsm well could look at it and offer any sugesstions.

Thanks to you, Piggd, I have isolated the problem, it comes from the condition between the state "Load In" and the state "Preload Display" in the FSM,

the condition is "!(isNull (findDisplay 46))" which seems to mean that the primary display is not available for now... 

 

[Gore Mode enabled]

Ok, let's shortcut this condition... boom, next state's condition is blocking too, which was something predictable (dayz_preloadFinished)

Ok (2), let's shortcut this condition... boom, I'm in game...

[Gore Mode disabled]

 

Of course this is absolutely not a solution, the goal was to check where the problem came from, and why... Now I know where it comes from, but I have no idea why (coz I don't know arma2, nor dayz/epoch, nor why BI is using literals instead of defines... :|

 

Someone knows why display "46" is null, and what condition creates it ?

[jon5353]

Hopefully we can get a word from one of the devs soon. I appreciate all your guys' work on this. I run a local server, compared to many others who have actual servers that players legitimately can't play on, and for that I feel sorry for you guys and hope that whoever is experiencing this bug on your server is dedicated and will continue to play on your server after you fix it. 

 

For me, I am the only person not able to reconnect. I'll post my character_data strip for myself,

Sorry if it looks horrible, but if its just playerstate then all you're looking for is this part

And here is a strip from a working friend's character

What exactly is "playerstate"? I'm assuming its the state at which you logout at, but whats up with the mumbojumbo of letters along with the number at the end? Could I pretty much just put my weapon in the first "" and remove "_player_idlesteady03" for a temporary fix? Thanks.

Any chance you could post the fsm?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Orca]

What I saw from the code : that's the last state of a player written in the DB, the first entry is the current weapon, next is the animation, then the temperature, and last field is the friend list

[Orca]

Thanks in advance.

 

sure, but please remember this is absolutely not an answer to this problem...

(BTW, you have to copy your player_monitor.sqf & player_monitor.fsm to your mission files, and remap links into init.sqf & player_monitor.sqf)

Thank you very much, I'll give this a try.

I'm probably doing something wrong, I cannot get this to work (chances are I've mapped the wrong address in the sqf).

 

Still stuck on the loading sceen...  On the plus side the counter doesn't get stuck.

[piggd]

Work Around: 

 

If you add the two endLoadingScreen; statements in your init.sqf it seems to work aorund the problem.  In no way is this a fix to the real issue.  So far in development I have not seen any issues.  I be rolling this to my prod servers tonight.

 

endLoadingScreen; // Work around for 2nd Log in hang
if (!isDedicated) then {
    //Conduct map operations
    0 fadeSound 0;
    waitUntil {!isNil "dayz_loadScreenMsg"};
    dayz_loadScreenMsg = (localize "STR_AUTHENTICATING");
    
    //Run the player monitor
    _id = player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {_id = [] spawn player_death;}];
    _playerMonitor =     [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\player_monitor.sqf";

If we have stuff that goes inside that box (ie epoch admin tools modifies the antihack line) would we repeat that there as well? Or would having a second one be enough?

Working for us piggd, nice work!

Piggd, this works for me too! Hail to the chief!

Pretty sure this is a Steam issue.  If I log out and close OA but leave the server up, I cannot reload OA as Steam thinks it is already running because of the server.
