commands are sent twice

[Alia5]

say -1 is sent twice :(

[Alia5]

BattleNET_client.exe -host 127.0.0.1 -port 2302 -password XXXXXXXXXX -command "say -1 something"

[Alia5]

nervermind, its a problem with wine...

[marceldev89]

If you fixed it somehow with wine please do tell how. There are a few more with issues like that.

[Alia5]

in a shellscript...

BattleNET_client.exe blabla sleep 2 kill $(pidof BattleNET_client.exe)

Quick and dirty, but works surprisingly well!

It seems like when logging out the command gets sent again in wine

also fixed the problem the console is not closing... didn't look at your code since c# isn't for me

[Alia5]

only works for say though :(

[marceldev89]

Can you try it with native mono (from your distribution repository and not for wine, i.e. aptitude install mono)?

[Alia5]

[marceldev89]

Hmm never seen that but I guess Linux/mono doesn't support that. ^^

[Alia5]

I assume battleNet requires .net 4.0? mono only has support till 3.5 didn't try to compile experimental versions though

[marceldev89]

hmm not sure, it worked fine for me when I ran the server on linux. I was running Debian testing though.

[Alia5]

Yeah testing Versions if Debian have newer versions of mono... Using stable i should try to compile them then!

[marceldev89]

Hmm building BattleNET with .NET 3.5 doesn't show any errors, you could try that instead. That would be a lot easier than compiling mono. ^^

[Alia5]

Yeah sure! Compiling mono wouldn't be a problem... It's the time that I do not have, sadly :( Will try tomorrow tough

[marceldev89]

If this is still a problem, check what happens with wireshark. Also I'm starting to think that it might be an encoding issue except I'm not sure why. :smile:

Hey Marcel, this is a problem for me. I sometimes get reports of ppl with this problem. I have it myself from time to time. Example, send global message and it goes twice.

[marceldev89]

And this is all on linux environments?

[marceldev89]

I don't have this issue at all on a windows environment though.

[marceldev89]

Hmm actually, I have 1 duplicate line and 1 missing line in total.

[joaomcarlos]

All my clients run windows, even tho my tool uses mono and is fully compatible with linux and macosx i have only tested it on my laptop and none of my clients use anything other than Windows.

Maybe I can send you a version of the tool so you can see it happening.

[marceldev89]

Haha, I believe you. :smile:

[marceldev89]

Anyway, the only reason that this can happen is that the server takes longer than 2 seconds to respond. So if you guys feel like experimenting a bit, try increasing the value at BattleNET/BattlEyeClient.cs line 322.

[joaomcarlos]

Increased it to 15sec, will test it :D

[marceldev89]

Any results?

[joaomcarlos]

Hey Marcel, sorry to keep you in the dark, but I still am not 100% sure it fixes the problem. In local testing it did. 2 other users also show improvement, but, 7 others havent replied to me yet.

I assume it does fix the problem.

[marceldev89]

Well if this is a confirmed fix then I'll have an idea on how to fix it.

Not sure when though, but I'll get to it. :smile:

[marceldev89]

Actually, what's the load on the servers when this problem starts to happen?

[DomiStyle]

5 seconds did it for me. Was also a problem with messages being received multiple times not only being sent multiple times. 15 seconds was atleast too long for DaRT as I do my own command resend.

[joaomcarlos]

It seems that the extra delay fixes the problem yes. From all that I have sent the version to, not one had it still showing.

[marceldev89]

Ok, I'll take a proper look at it soonish. Maybe implement some dynamic system for the timeouts and such taking the average server response time as a figure for the time based values.

[DomiStyle]

Was planning to do something similar in DaRT so users can adjust the timeout value by themself. Making it automatic is probably even better though. Using 5 seconds works fine till then.

Hi guys, When I request the "players" command I receive the players list twice (all the time), and the first time I send out a global message it also gets sent twice. After the first global message is sent twice it then works as it should, sending out messages only once but the players list still receives twice no matter what. I tried to change the value from 2 to15 in BattleNET/BattlEyeClient.cs line 322 and that didn't make any difference. I am running the server and developing on windows 7 machines x64

any help would be appreciated.

[marceldev89]

Hum, it's fairly reasonable to assume that BattlEye isn't the same as it was 5 months ago (when I last updated battlenet).

If there isn't someone with a fix in the next few days then I'll start doing some debugging work during the weekend. :smile:

[KG7854]

Thanks, looking forward to it, let me know if you need any help with testing, etc.

[marceldev89]

Ah, forgot about it.. I'll try to do it this weekend. :smile:

[marceldev89]

Alright, updated the develop branch. Please build it, test it and let me know.

Couldn't reproduce the players command being sent twice though, so it might or might not be fixed. :smile:

[KG7854]

Thanks ziellos, that fixed the double first global message sent problem. The players list still gets sent twice, but if you don't have time its ok, My program just grabs the last player update command data anyways. But it would be cool to figure out how to fix this because I'm not sure if sending/receiving the players command twice will lag the server or not.... When I send the players command it takes a second or two then I receive the players data twice instantly, not sure if this helps you figure it out or not. If you have a guess where it could be I could try to mess with the code and maybe fix it, lol

Thanks again

[marceldev89]

Hmm, did you also test the 'players' command with the RCon client that comes with the library? And also with BERcon?

[KG7854]

Sorry I have been busy, I will do that and report back.

[marceldev89]

No worries, and thank you. :smile:

[KG7854]

I have tested both the above mentioned clients and they both work, it just must be something on my side.

[marceldev89]

Alright. I'll close this one for now. :smile:
