Error while creating lobby

terabyte110 commented 1 month ago

As I mentioned on Reddit, I am getting an error while creating a lobby in any of the modes for multiplayer.

Source: AdvertisementJoinEvent Error Code: 0x00000022

As you had recommended, I have checked that the battleserver.exe is running.

Also I have manually changed the network priority. Since I will be playing over a shared wifi, I have set the priority to Wifi IPv6.

Still running into the same error.

I tried searching around for this specific error code, but didn't get any results.

Hello:

Sad to see you still have issues, while it does not seem to be related to my server (as it happened before as you say), let's try to find the root cause :P

Can you attach the latest log you find in server/logs directory?

PS: Keep in mind both the game and my launcher/server run on IPv4 so idk if running a local network on IPv6 could create issues.

Same error here Attaching logs. access_log_2024-10-18T18-56-10.txt access_log_2024-10-18T18-44-59.txt

@juanctkc

Unfortunately, the logs don't show any obvious issue.

Have you tried briefly disabling your firewall to see if that's the issue? Have you tried letting your friends host the lobby and you join it?

@terabyte110 please try these too.

Yes, no changes.

Have you tried letting your friends host the lobby and you join it?

Yes, well I have 2 laptops. then i restarted them and switch their roles: (what means run launcher first the other machine to be server).

Multiplayer is enabled when i use launcher, but i can't create a lobby on both, i got this: 0x00000022

This is the error that i get when i try to create the lobby

I also enabled Turn Windows features on or off> Windows components > Legacy Components > Direct Play

@juanctkc when creating the lobby are you selecting in the server option (dropdown) "Use Local LAN Server" ?

juanctkc commented 1 month ago

I set "Use Local LAN Server" and allowed batllenet, server.exe, launcher.exe and age exe . I can create the lobby, but i can't see it from other laptop. I switched them between server and host, reviewed firewall. Tried public, private. Not sure if there is something that i'm missing.

Have you tried inviting the other user from inside the lobby (search by name)?

@juanctkc mmm I only have a few ideas left:

Try an older version of the launcher/server combo such as 1.3.3 and 1.2.2
Are the two PC's different game installations (AKA different steam users)? If not, set in the server config, GeneratePlatformUserId to true.
Have you tried ensuring the network adapters of both PC's the first (highest priority) is the correct network adapter?
Try setting in one or both PCs, the launcher config, CanBroadcastBattleServer to false

Good News @luskaner , I FIXED IT.

First I'd like to answer your questions to provide more background to you and to respect your and my time that we dedicated to this.

Try setting in one or both PCs, the launcher config, CanBroadcastBattleServer to false

Tried, in one, and in both later. Same result

Are the two PC's different game installations (AKA different steam users)? If not, set in the server config, GeneratePlatformUserId to true.

Same installer was used. steam_emu.ini was updated to change users names and the ID was set to = to get random values. I tried this GeneratePlatformUserId to true, same results.

Have you tried ensuring the network adapters of both PC's the first (highest priority) is the correct network adapter?

It is the only enabled adaptar that is connected. Are wifi ones

Try an older version of the launcher/server combo such as 1.3.3 and 1.2.2

I tried both. Same results.

AGE 2 DE version is v101.102.52940.0 ($118476) 911

Good News

I found that when i connect-reconnect to the server once i opened AGE then the other user is being kicked-disconnected. That is was causing the previous described behavior.

How i Fixed it

I updated 'AccountId' variable from the 'steam_emu.ini' file that came in the game installation folder . Its value was "0" value and it suppose that it sets a random Account ID but it seems it is not working. I set a fixed random value, then it works, i created a LAN game and joined and started them without interruptions. BTW. I'm using v1.4.0

### Steam Account ID, set it to 0 to get a random Account ID
###
AccountId=12451114

I think that the setting 'GeneratePlatformUserId' = true in the server config file should have managed this issue, but it seems it is doesn't work even for 1.2.2, 1.3.3 or 1.4.0. Or i might be missing something as i'm not developing this wonderful app.

Step by step

download 1.4.0 full
update launcher/resources/config.ini by setting 'Executable' variable to my aoe 2 de exe file location
update 'steam_emu.ini' file from the game installation folder, by setting 'AccountId' to a random number
Step 1 to 3 have to be done in Machine A and B
Run launcher.exe in Machine A, follow the console outputs accept the file execution and network access: it should launch the server and then the game
Run launcher.exe in Machine B, , follow the console outputs accept the file execution and network access: it should find the server that is running in Machine A
Create a match in one of these machines, mandatory settings are "Local Lan Server" and "Public" . In the other Machine you need to find the match by simple searching-refreshing for matches in the lobby, or filter the match name or match ID
Join and Enjoy

@luskaner Thank you so much!

@juanctkc Oh glad to see it finally works (and good work with your extensive explanation and testing everything I could think of)!

The issue you had, other uses had it before and they were able to fix it via the mentioned Server config, so it's quite strange that it doesn't work for you (as long as the two PC's use different IP's which I think it's always the case).

The issue about the Steam emulator I think it's because once you set it to 0 and run the emulator the ID is then generated and saved (typically in your user profile) so it is only generated once and reused from that point.

PS: @terabyte110 how it's your issue going?
