Server/Network error

[FatFritz2]

Hi @Torom, In my BotLi for serveral days it keeps appearing 400 Client error Bad Request for url: [game link] and sometimes there are read timeout 1.0 I am wondering what error is that and how to fix it ???

[Torom]

This is not the complete error output. Probably network problems.

[FatFritz2]

So how can I resolve this It has been really hard to, can you give me some suggestions since my bot is losing on time quite a lot

[Torom]

Fix your internet connection, but it's probably not that easy. Please post the complete output of a game with the error that you then lose on time.

as you can see in the game it keeps appearing that error

[Torom]

BotLi gives moves one second to be sent to the server, if it takes longer, the move is sent again. In your case Lichess receives the move twice, which gives an error, because the move can't be executed twice. This is harmless in itself, but a sign that the move could not be sent to the server within a second.

If this happens frequently, your internet connection is not stable. BotLi cannot do anything about this. Maybe you should try to use a wired connection instead of WiFi.

I have already trying ethernet (not wifi) but it keeps appearing that error What can I do to fix ???

[FatFritz2]

So does increasing "Move overhead" option resolve this problem ?

[Torom]

Again, BotLi can't do anything about your bad internet connection. Increasing the move_overhead_multiplier increases the amount of time BotLi saves for such internet problems. You can try to set the value to 3.0.
