Void/black wall in multiplayer b41

[desert trail]

Im hosting a server for my friend and i to play on and he keeps getting this issue

The ports are open

Server ram is 16gb

Pc specs is i7 14700hx, 32gb ram, rtx 4060

My friend has even better specs

How do we deal with this its very annoying

Important to mention that were running somemods

All small mods tho like hud changes and shit and a couple extra vehicles

Nothing game changing or map changing

But they did add up to like 80 mods

80 mods is a huge amount. some of them are probably broken.

my best advice: start searching for the broken mods and uninstall them.

[desert trail]

How do i know which ones are causing the issue

[hard sorrel]

google "Binary Search"

[desert trail]

I know binary search

[tender cosmos]

well, that's the hard part, disable all of them then do a few at a time till you get this error

[desert trail]

Was just wondering if there a faster or less gamebreaking way

Im assuming removing mods midsave is gonna damage it

[tender cosmos]

although that does look like what happens when the server is loading tiles

except weird

[regal cradle]

The best advice is what's already been given I'm afraid, you can either try them one by one or in batches until you find the mod causing issues, preferably on a new save so you don't lose anything from that one.

Can high ping cause this

I wanna rule that out before i commit into a 6 hours process cuz this issue only appears after being on the server for like 15 mins

[ripe kindle]

Yes it can, generally it can be mainly caused by high ping, secondly it can be caused by low system specs (does not seem to be your case) and lastly mods

[desert trail]

Okay

One last question

I have another computer here. If i launch the server and join from the other computer

Would it be a lan connection

With next to no ping

In other words would that help me rule out ping as the issue

The other pc doesnt have bad specs either its a i5 11th gen worh 16gb ram and rtx 2060

[ripe kindle]

More or less yes, but you did say that your friend is having the issue, not you, right?

[desert trail]

Yes

[ripe kindle]

I am a bit lost of how your friend would connect through the LAN in that case

[desert trail]

I used to have the issue in an earlier version of the game despite me being the host but the modlist and the game version are both different now

[ripe kindle]

To rule out ping, it would have to be your friend who is hosting

[desert trail]

No, i have 2 computers. I use the second computer to join the server qnd play on it, see if i can reproduce the issue

On the same wifi

[ripe kindle]

I see, you can try it for sure

But generally, if you as the host do not have issues, you have already ruled out ping

For yourself that is

Meaning if you do not experience the issues, it would be likely caused by ping

Or a combination of all of the issues

[desert trail]

I dont have the issue currently, just my friend. Joining in from my second pc would reduce ping as much as possible, and if i get the issue there, then i know its not the ping and probably from the mods

I dont remember all his specs but i do remember hes running an rtx5070 so it couldnt possibly be a low specs issue on his part

Leaving just the ping and the mods in question
