SFS2x disconnect and no event fired in as3

Postby clam61 » 19 Dec 2013, 08:24

Sometimes SFS2x drops a connection to the client (it is not a result of a timeout as I have the client ping the server to avoid that), but the client does not received a CONNECTION_LOST event ever.

Anyone else have this issue?

How do you know that the connection was dropped if you don't receive the connection lost event?

Good question. Because on the SFSAdmin I can see the # of users online and also from logging in as other users I can see that they are listed as offline in my UI.

Something else must be going on, because the server doesn't drop connections for no reason. Either the user is disconnected for being idle, or there's a network issue.
For example if you break the connection by unplugging the network table, you won't receive the disconnection event until a timeout at operating system level triggers.
In order to be able to help we need more informations for you. What steps do you take in your application?

There was a similar problem when connected via BlueBox.
CONNECTION_LOST event occurs about 5-8 minutes after the session has been destroyed and the server has been called disconnectUser.
Maybe we are doing something wrong?

Paul, it is not clear. Is your post related to the same issue in the opening post or are you just saying that a similar issue occurred to you?
Is it something reproducible at will? If so how?

Maybe it's related to the theme, but not sure.
Play this problem can be quite simple.
I have a problem arose in the case originally started the game in Google Chrome, and then parallel to run the game in Firefox, but under the same account (login). Thus always useBlueBox = true. If you believe the documentation session game GoogleChrome should close and the game should receive the event CONNECTION_LOST, but the event comes after almost 8 minutes! Maybe I'm doing something wrong or is it quite normal?

I don't understand.
If you are already logged in Chrome how can you login also with Firefox? In any case the former user will be kicked out.

My question is not how did you do it, but can you do it 10-20 times and always obtain the same problem? I wouldn't expect that, but if you can then you could point me to the game. If it is live, as it seems, we can test from here and see if does the same.

Thanks
Lapo

The point is not that open multiple windows with the game, but the fact that the client is connected to SmartFoxServer using BlueBox CONNECTION_LOST receives an event long overdue, if the session and connection break on the server.

Technically there is no persistent connection between client and server via the BlueBox. Since the BB uses HTTP tunneling the server can't detect a physical disconnection and assumes that the client has stopped his communication after he's stopped pinging for a certain amount of time.

We'll test the scenario and see if we can reproduce it.
