[Announcer] Failed to read announce response from master.vc-mp.org

[DizzasTeR]

So apparently I'm getting this on the console:

Code Select Expand

Failed to read announce response from master.vc-mp.org (11)
when the server is up for a few hours and then it is unreachable by players i.e no more on masterlist. Anyone knows why this is happening because I didn't have this problem before.

Here's the machine:

Code Select Expand

uname -a
Linux vps 2.6.32-042stab116.2 #1 SMP Fri Jun 24 15:33:57 MSK 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Restarting the server gets it on masterlist but again after few hours of uptime that shows up on console and server is no longer reachable.

Maybe try that one, I think the problem is with the plugin itself, or try using a local masterlist and see if the error still exists.

[DizzasTeR]

I was using the same plugin before though but I'll see if it happens with SLC's plugin.

Try adding announce_verbose to your server.cfg and post the console output when it fails.

Same here! The message shows and players are unable to join the server.

@Thijn, After launching server it said successfully announced on masterlist, afterwards when I waited until I couldn't reach server again, I checked the console and all there was, was spam of this:

It was spammed quite numerous times.

Also I noticed that if the server is unreachable and I'd connect to the SSH i.e not even logged in yet, just connected to SSH where it asks for the user, I noticed the server started to show up. I hope you got what I'm trying to say.

So you're basically saying your host is shit, and the announcer is working fine?

Hm, I never blamed the announcer and I've mentioned that it was working before. So how does a shitty host do such type of a thing. Isn't there a way to solve it

Your topic literally has [Announcer] as tag

What kind of host do you use?

[DizzasTeR]

What kind of host do you use?

Not really sure what you mean by this but I have a VPS provided to me by a friend whose company provides VPSs. If this is not the answer to your question then can you elaborate what you mean by kind of host.

[Thijn]

Yeah that's what I meant.

I've not heard of VPSes that disable their network when they're being idle for too long. I think it's time to ask the providers' support instead of here, this isn't a VC:MP problem.

[DizzasTeR]

In that case, I'll get to the provider for assistance. Thanks.
