Zombie clients on server #28

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Some users reported, that their client suddenly crashed and server did not
notice it and keep maintaining the connection. Such client crashing was
reported only on Windows. The actual crashing is not a subject of this
report and it should be reported in another issue report (probably with
more details related to the crash).

Consequently there are a lot of zombie clients, players and even games on
server (on alderan.cz). All the zombie clients can be seen with the
list-clients command. Moreover, all the connections of these clients can be
seen with netstat command and the state of all of them is ESTABLISHED. As
one of the user that managed to create a zombie reported, the connection is
not established on the client side (the user has rebooted his computer).

The question is, why are this connection kept alive in ESTABLISHED state.

The fallout of this issue is that users often see irrelevant zombie games
in the games list that can confuse them.
