Title: Getpackets
Post by: Anonymous on December 10, 2010, 10:21:50 PM

I tried playing online when It randomly started spewing error messages about an unknown error involving getpackets. I could use some help.

Woah, calm down there.  People aren't exactly going to be jumping into a topic quickly every time.  As for missed packets, I tend to have that problem when I have terrible lag.  Is your internet connection slow?

not in the slightest. It's also quite big as I only just got online working before this happened.

This belongs in help.

Missing Packets would be revolving around lag. I believe the packets are sent believed the server and the client(the client being you) The farther away you are from the host, the bigger your lag is, and more likely you will miss packets.

The error results when you lag long enough that you exceed the 1024 packets default.

Essentially, it's not really you, it's the server your trying to connect too.

okay, but here's the thing, none of the servers work. Hell I get the error messages when I start the normal game!
