Error 88 - Mobile Auth #362

Closed error88 closed 8 years ago

error88 commented 8 years ago

Hi

When I use email authentication it all works absolutely fine and my bot stays logged in for long periods of time.

When I use mobile authentication it logs in fine and works fine for a while. Then at midnight it just shuts off at exactly 12PM with ERROR 88. It's not every night as far as I'm aware but every few days it happens.

What is the cause of this? How can I fix this?

I've tried setting the clock to sync with Google and other timezones but that hasn't fixed it.

Any help is much appreciated, cheers

Jack

TwoFactorCodeMismatch

Probably got logged out by Steam itself. Just relogin when such things happen.

I am aware of what the error stands for but that is not really a fix. It cannot be expected that everyone must relogin again at midnight every night.

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

it just shuts off

What does this even mean? Do you get disconnected?

at exactly 12PM

Looks like your internet provider is doing this.

with ERROR 88

What happens if you retry?

Hi Scholtzm

What does this even mean? Do you get disconnected?

It runs on my Digital Ocean server. Simply it errors with error 88 and that's that. The node session ends.

Looks like your internet provider is doing this.

I have doubts that it is my ISP as it runs externally through DO.

What happens if you retry?

This error has been a recurring issue for the last 1-2 months. Everytime in the past I have been forced to just retry but that hasn't sorted the issue. Before this never was a problem.

I'm happy to share more information if need be.

Cheers

Here are logs of my bots getting the error:

@scholtzm Pretty sure it's just normal Steam problem where it logs the user out after X hours.

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

Well, it certainly isn't library issue so I guess you should redirect your question elsewhere, e.g. /r/SteamBot.

@shaunidiot Logs the user out? Why? Haven't seen this error happen ever, other than getting disconnected by Steam going down occasionally.

That doesn't make sense. If you mean the 'error' event, then that doesn't have an error code.

Without knowing how this log is composed it doesn't mean much to us.

What other information would you like me to provide? It logs out of the user and returns error 88 TwoFactorCodeMismatch. I don't understand your confusion? As far as I am aware the error event does have an error code.

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

Well, it doesn't. 😄

error88 commented 8 years ago

event.eresult

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

In that case that's not an error event.

error88 commented 8 years ago

Regardless, is there any fix for this? Any ideas?

/r/SteamBot state it as the timezone which it isn't.

seishun commented 8 years ago

event.eresult

There is no such thing in node-steam. Perhaps you're using an old version.

Regardless, is there any fix for this?

This doesn't seem to be a library issue, so you won't get help here. I guess your best bet would be to just reconnect.

error88 commented 8 years ago

For what reasons does it not appear to be a library issue? How can you tell if you've never even heard or seen it before?

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

So why haven't you posted there yet?

Because EResult comes from Steam. node-steam passes it on, just like it's supposed to. Unless you think that Steam doesn't actually send EResult 88 or that node-steam should behave differently when receiving it, there's nothing to discuss here.

Aareksio commented 8 years ago

I'm just guessing - you got disconnected because of the weekly maintenance, as the last one was this night, then your application tried to log in back, but as you didn't supply a new steamguard code you got 88 in response.

If that's the story, the problem is in your code, not the library.

Committing commented 8 years ago

@Aareksio I believe you get error 85 for invalid code on mobile auth. Also I get this error too.

scholtzm commented 8 years ago

85 is if you don't provide a code at all.
