Re: ACE issue?

Post by astuto »

here I am again.
The issue still exist, yesterday I tried to play on the asosed server from an older pc with a 8600 cpu and for 2 hours no issue and no kicks out from server. I used tha same folder of ut installed in the other pc, where there are the kicks.
The pc where I have kicks has a i5 cpu.
Could the cpu (or some bios settings) cause the kicks?

regards

There can be possible other issues too...

Code: Select all

ScriptLog: [NPLoaderv19b] Loading failed for player: .............. (Reason: Incompatible OS)
In this case... some players could not be checked but... Nexgen has records - also I received a PM about a potential cheater and... I dropped an eye through game logs... oh well. Actually I think they played bypassing checks ("Loading failed")... :?:

The cheater was using aimbot; he find a way to do trick when he enters server with ACE while ACE is not enabling for him - logs wrote what sektor2111 quoted above - "Incompatible OS". Ace, apparently then, not applied to him, so he use aimbot which was really obvious.

ACE kicks when Player cannot be checked periodically or some package unused stays loaded - (multi-mods) servers. I posted my issue nearby your issue for capturing attention of developer - maybe he is having a bit of time to drop an eye over these things because it looks like we do have new problems... nearby OLD problems...
More to complete - this message it's not seldom, I see it often, I believe already 20-30% of players are not checked and... they can do what they want in this case... which makes ACE useless...

what dns do you use for connection to play ut? I tried opendns (with this I had a lot of kicks) and recently cloudflare (with this few kicks).
Maybe is better to left the automatic dns in the advance settings of the net?

Do you need DNS at all when you connect via IP address?

I just wonder if the kicks of the ace error (see first post) coulde be caused by the dns settings.
So I'm asking to you what dns do you use playing ut...

I'm not sure if DNS can be a problem, but... it's a good question. I'm using AddGuard DNS, like I used before and right now I could not join using UT v440 - original client. Log says nothing, game it's just quitting leaving even display more bright - corrupting display...
And then... I tried UT v469e-RC7 - it worked... I sat as spectator for some minutes, no kicks no nothing evil but I'm still wondering why my prior client was crashing without anything logged. For the rest of non-ACE servers connections are just normal.
Anyway in server log I can see a lot of times "Incompatible OS", clearly those players can play and are not verified, perhaps ACE can be removed as long as it does nothing. What else ? I have a similar I5 rig machine with some NVIDIA display, something doesn't work as it should, like it worked before.
I did not check other connections (tethering type from Phones - other ISP services), but I'm not that interested to play there. More to say, probably too much "NULL content" and "Accessed None" from "valhala avatar" are shown in client Log and then it could be server problem - those options are not done by me, administration has this "hobby" with skinning trash and lousy bot classes...

Do you have disconnections caused by timeout also if you join server without ACE? Or another version of ACE?
