"Connection Lost" on local game
« on: December 13, 2017, 07:40:47 AM »
I am getting the red banner with "Connection Lost" text when playing a local game against the computer.

Why is this happening?  I am not connected to anything - i am only playing a local game.

I don't know. Network layer is rare case of code which is almost untouched from 3.x.
So I would not expect problems just here.

On the other hand java-websocket dependency was upgraded, and it can be related to it.

As far as I remeber I observed similar behaviour when laptop was sleep for a while. I am going to experiment with it.

Happened again, but with a new message.

After the "Connection Lost" message, a "NullPointerException" message appeared.  That one stayed.

The other difference - I could still interact with the game, to a point.  The boxes to show  potential tile placement appeared, which did not happen before.  However, I am unable to place the tile - clicking a valid location does nothing.

Which Java version do you use, rfielder?
Latest available - which has been out since mid-October 2017.

java version "1.8.0_151"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)

Just re-installed it, and it verified OK.  Have not played any games yet to know if reinstalling Java makes any difference.

Just happened again, playing against the computer on my laptop.

Reinstalling Java and rebooting did not help.

Robert, this is a real shot in the dark, but I have had strange things happen when plugins have been activated, especially the catapult tiles. It probably has nothing to do with your problem, but I suggest that you check that only the classic tiles are enabled and try again. At least it will eliminate another possibility even if there is no improvement.

Good luck!

A good point!

Unfortunately i have none activated.  Using the basic default configuration, and have been playing only with the expansions for the current Worlds since instlalling v4.

Hello,

I just got this "connection lost" error while playing against 1 ai , once the error happens it is not possible to continue playing.
This was completely default game settings as i had just downloaded the latest JCloisterZone, it happened on the 2nd consecutive game , the first one had no problem.

This never happened before when i was on a previous version ( 3.xx as this version is the first 4.xx i downloaded ).

edit : oh happened again, fortunately older version is still availble.

Hi guys

at least whole 4.x branch behaves badly when messages are lost network. That something which needs some care too.
Which shouldn't be you case when you are playing locally.

I looked at JavaWebsocket library, and since 3.x there is many many changes. I would like to rather not revert it to version used in 3.x
Instead I am just trying to make it work smoothly on recent version (an truth is that 4.0.2 wan't built with latest)

Current checlist:
- use really latest JavaWebsocet
- disable hearthbeat
- solve lost message bug

then I am going to rebuild it and you can try if it helps. It should happen tomorrow.

Sorry for these troubles, 4.x is rather complete rewrite then just app update. Which causes all regression bugs. But i was needed if I can be able to make new great things.

hmmm my connection lost handling is terribly broken.

Good news is that I know what to do :-) New hotfix release will be needed asap.

farin - I am being prompted to download 4.0.2.

However, I don't see any announcements here of this version.

Might 4.0.2 address any of the lost connection issues? Or is that issue with lost connections still lost in coding, for even more lost time and lost games?

 :)

4.0.2 doesn't help you, wait with update.

I am going to replace it with 4.1.0 in few days, hopefully tomorrow.
Shame on me. Making it stable it's top priority for me now. Current release it unsatisfying.
