Bedrock connect hangs on connecting to server Switch. #527

Closed NibblerJ2 closed 2 months ago

NibblerJ2 commented 3 months ago

What happened?

When you click the server list you don't get the server list it just sits there. Eventually ending out with cannot connect to world. The rare times it works it connects fine. Use the option to join server list it waits about 2-3 minutes before failing 90% its also a local self hosted instance of BC. The previous entry before 1.21.20 worked just fine. This is hosted on a dedicated Linux machine always been working great using it for about a year.

Expected Behaviour?

Well.. it was working so only thing changed was the updates. I figure it would connect I tried for a while now different instances. It so far connects once a day.

Steps to reproduce.

Are you connecting using the DNS method, or "Add Friend" method / MCXboxBroadcast? If you are connecting using the "Add Friend" method, the recent update broke it and it's currently being looked into https://github.com/rtm516/MCXboxBroadcast/issues/122 If you are using this method you will need to use the DNS method for now.

I believe we are using the the DNS method as it is the only thing we change. However oddly we tried it this morning it connected 3 times right away. It may be something changing over a period of time. The description from https://github.com/rtm516/MCXboxBroadcast/issues/122 sounds very much like the behavior after its been running for a while.

Hmm, if the DNS method is being used then it sounds like a possible connection issue to the BedrockConnect instance, your device for whatever reason is not seeing the connection. From my testing I have not seen any game-bug related connection issues introduced this 1.21.20 update when joining through the DNS method, including on Nintendo Switch.

The 1.21.20 update did seem to bring a lot of game bugs related to connecting to servers, so it is possible there is something related to that causing your issue, but I can't seem to replicate on my end so I'm not sure what it could be.

sounds very much like the behavior after its been running for a while.

If you have this running 24/7, I would recommend having some kind of cronjob or automated daily run on your Linux setup that restarts it once a day or at least once in a while.

The server works great once connected. It might be the machine running bedrock connect. Although it does do it with the public one. The dns part is working every time for sure. BC does do better on fresh start... So it might be a problem with that machine. I may look into trying another dedicated machine.

I'm having the same issue. DNS methods seems to be broken

bstaxx commented 3 months ago

I'm on 1.21.20

netapy commented 3 months ago

Also broken here on 1.21.20 Using the DNS method

DNS is spotty at best with the switch. I think this is a Minecraft bug with 1.21.20.

I have the same issue on self hosted using DNS. I also have a bedrock bot that was broken with that update because Mojang made a few changed to the network APIs, related to minecraft-data. It broken many bedrock bot to connect to the 1.21.20, it might be the reason for that issue too... Anyway restarting the services not always works, it is inconsistently so I cannot even create a macro to restart it time to time because it is not guaranteed that it will work. Right now I m trying to connect to my server after several minutes, restarting, stopping/starting the services and still not able to connect.

PS: there was already a PR merged to minecraft-data created by extremeheat, and it has fixed the bots, not sure if it can be applied to the proxy as well. https://github.com/PrismarineJS/minecraft-data/pull/902

Make sure you all are updated to 1.21.21 in your game version. I believe that version just dropped for the Nintendo Switch version yesterday (had already been available on other consoles since), which contains server connection fixes it appears. (In relation to the DNS method, "Add friend" method is still broken this update)

tolookah commented 3 months ago

Yes, the switch update came out, it works, thanks for the reminder.

NibblerJ2 commented 3 months ago

1.21.21 actually seems to have less problems for us at least. shrugs maybe it was a bug i have no idea.

Pugmatt commented 2 months ago

Closing this for now as the issue appears to have been solved since 1.21.21 version release.
