Having trouble connecting clients | FirstGearGames / Fish-Networking | Page 1

Hi guys, In my project i am using FishyFacepunch as transport and it works as host and client...

Before things got a bit out of hand when we first try to connect host would be in the game playing while clients would fail connecting to host but right after that on the second try everything would work fine.

About one week ago i have pushed an update end tested it we found out that when we try connecting from different networks (i mean not connected to same wifi) client side was having problems like connection failing or client getting kicked with the error code "Server encountered an error while parsing data for packetId ServerRpc from connectionId 0. Connection will be kicked immediately" within ten seconds of connecting
Also owned player was moving abnormally faster on client side but but at normal speed at the host side

I am now making a development build in hopes of catching something that would point me in some direction..
Any idea on why something like this would occur?

i think i narrowed it down but not really sure what to do atm
i am getting this message from the client when trying to connect to host
Connection state changed: Connecting - Invalid

FishyFacepunch.Client.ClientSocket:OnConnectionStatusChanged (Steamworks.Data.Connection,Steamworks.Data.ConnectionInfo) (at FishyFacepunch/Core/ClientSocket.cs:153)

my guess is i might be making a mistake in these lines of code

#

#

SteamId struct has AccountId and a ToString() method override i am not sure which one i should use for ClientManager.StartConnection() parameter

ok this wasn it i have logged it and both of the options were giving the same results

#

at this point i dont know why would i get Connection state changed: Connecting - Invalid message
i am logging the address as shown in the code above but it seems fine too
is this message normal or something

is FishyFacepunch maintained by fishnet i dont know if i am asking this in the right place <@&716724875066212354>
this issue is holding us back, this is pretty important to us

FishyFacepunch is not maintained by us.

#

FishySteamworks is.

#

I didn't see your first message but to be honest I'm not all familiar with fishyfacepunch to begin with. Are you still getting kicked?

rugged spire FishySteamworks is.

would you recommend for me to make the switch from fishyfacepunch

rugged spire May 17, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

Honestly I've not used either much but Steamworks.Net has more resources and seems to be the more popular choice.

#

If I were to choose, I'd use Steamworks.Net (fishysteamworks)

#

You also get the benefits of the transport being in-house so it's officially supported.

oh okay so it cannot even connect

#

I dont know about facepunch but I know with steamworks you have to tick or untick peer to peer

#

p2p is for steamIds as address and unchecked is for IP

as far as i know fishyfacepunch doesnt have something similar
but if issue is with the fishyfacepunch i wont be using it anymore anyway

small update,
i have adapted my lobby implementation to work with Steamworks.Net and clients can now connect to host.
i cannot 100% say issue was with the facepunch because i have changed a lot of code but guessing from the logs i got it was after transport

but unfortunately not all is good, clients player character is behaving weird to say the least,
on host side it is not at the same position as it is on client side an on client side it is moving faster than it is supposed to

this is my csp setup is there an obvious mistake i am overlooking?
it is fairly standart so i feel like either i am being very dumb or my eyes are not working well at the moment 🤪

I don't really know CSP, but you could try using a player prefab from one of the examples to see if it's a problem with your character or with the setup.

@hearty quail the transport should not affect any of your game logic whatsoever. If you're having another problem, please start a new post so that we can close this one and track it better. Thank you
