Client Can not connect.

Whenever I try to connect with the Notchian client this pops up, and drops me:

I do have construct installed.

Removing terrain generators caves, cliffs, and ores fixed it.

Could you bisect which generator does this, please? We'll follow up with a bugfix.

[MostAwesomeDude]

Current theory is that this is caused by pings taking more than 65s to be processed, causing an overflow in the ping packet.

You hit it because you don't have Ampoule, and you are using a lot of generators, causing the server to take many multiple seconds to create terrain and lagging networking operations. Or, at least, that's my guess.

A fix will be out soon.
