Pocketmine-mp: Can't join: Remains in building terrain.

[kenygamer]

[MattWAnderson]

Do you have an apple product? I have noticed a similar issue only on apple products and reduced spawn radius to 4 to correct.

#Radius of chunks that need to be sent before spawning the player
spawn-radius: 4

[kenygamer]

@MattWAnderson I have tried, but didn't work

[Muqsit]

It has happened to me too. You'll need to wait (for a long period of time) for the building terrain screen to get done. Pretty annyoing.

[kenygamer]

@xxFlare Pre-generated world.

[dktapps]

This is a duplicate of #1099 and also does not provide enough information to reproduce the problem. PocketMine version should include Jenkins build number and/or git commit hash.

[dktapps]

Please post the values of the following:

• Your client's render distance in number of chunks
• The server's view-distance property in server.properties
• The spawn-radius property in pocketmine.yml.

[dktapps]

Removed spoon comments as they pollute the issue discussion.

[MisteFr]

I have the same issue so I am going to provide mine too :
• Client Runder Distance : 6
• Server view distance : 4
• spawn-radius : 4

But I am not sure there is a report with that cause when this issue happens (after 15-20 mins) all the players can’t join.

PS : Duplicated of the issue you told me to debug https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/issues/1135.

[MisteFr]

Last thing, the server considers the players are online but they aren’t (not spawned) for example they can be kicked for Register/Login timeout

[dktapps]

Has anyone tried to reproduce this since commit 1dd8fc008bfb3d5a6b8d67291e5ecb34c7797fe9 ? This commit fixes a problem with world generation being extremely slow, maybe related to this issue.

[MisteFr]

Yep I tried and the issue isn't fixed.

[MisteFr]

It's a critical priority for productions servers.

[dktapps]

Do I look like a production server?

[mal0ne-23]

A couple of my players have reported this issue, not sure if that helps, but yeah my players are encountering it aswell. On the api3/blocks branch and the master branch

[BajanVlogs]

same as well im having players send me videos of them on Building Terrain for 4-8 min before it loads

[BrianZP]

@dktapps I just saw your tweet and tested this for myself. So here is the result.

Core:

• PocketMine-MP
• Jenkins Build #243
• OS: Linux, linux
• Game Version: PE
• Playing Device: Android & IOS (Tested on both)
  

  Settings:

Client and server settings set to default without any alterations.

Plugins:

• None.

• Tested on a clean server without any single plugin.

  Steps to Reproduce:

• Use the latest build,

• Test on a clean server without any player.dat files generated,
• Test with no plugins at all,
• Join the setver,
• The screen will remain stuck on.building terrain,
• After a long wait, of almost 3~4mins you are able to join.

However on console the player joins as soon as he presses the join button and the welcome message also shows up on console. But the player remains stuck on building terrain for so long.
This issue seems to be as a result of the latest commit because as of before, I was not experiencing that. I wish I could blame it on my internet but when you have 500MB download and 360MB upload, you really cant blame it. According to me it might be due to the way player.dat files are generated for the first time because once they have been generated and the players try to connect again the building terrain time is short and not as long as 3~4mins

[mal0ne-23]

I have player.dat generating turned off, so that can't be the issue.

[vzlomka76]

@dktapps I have the same thing on the Nukkit, I have a mini-game SkyWars and when I teleport sometimes freezes on the boot screen

[dktapps]

What compression-level do you guys have set in your pocketmine.yml?

[dktapps]

I don't see why it would take so long.

[dktapps]

If that was the case it would still only take 10 extra seconds, not several minutes.

[Muqsit]

This issue can be reproduced on a server running for too long (> 12h). But I still can't confirm time/memory being a part of the issue here... + doesn't make sense. But a restart solves it.

[moskadev]

On my server, nobody reported to me this problem

[MisteFr]

There is no report with memory cause I have 8 Go of RAM so.. And it’s true a restart solve it but for me it happens really often like after 10 mins you can’t join.
My compression level is 7 and I’m doing compression asynchronously.

@SuperMaXAleX Can we see your pocketmine.yml to maybe have an idea from where it’s coming ?

[MisteFr]

It wasn’t happen before so I think this is due to a commit who was did recently

[dktapps]

Is the <player> joined the game message shown in the console at the end of the long wait, or during the wait?

[MisteFr]

During the wait

[kenygamer]

PlayerJoinEvent doesn't seem to be fired, while PlayerLoginEvent does

[MattWAnderson]

I have asked someone to step in to debug this a bit more clearly. He will be able to give you console on a test server and has a known user who cannot join with default settings, and then can when the radius is lowered on their Apple device. I have not personally experienced this, however I feel it began around 0.15? Maybe even 0.14.

[MattWAnderson]

Correction, lowered on server than he can join.

[kenygamer]

Server Technical Specifications

2GB RAM
2,1GHz - 1 Core

[kenygamer]

@MattWAnderson It doesnt seem to be a device issue, my friend also uses iPad and joined perfectly (model Air 2).

Let's start discarding.

[dktapps]

@kenygamer I don't know if anyone told you already, but the italics and formatting get really irritating to read.

Is there anyone here who has this issue on a non-single-core machine?

[MisteFr]

Isn’t a mobile issue

[MattWAnderson]

Whereas I agree the issue is getting more broad, this references the original information and is a reproducible issue. It's likely not all Idevices, however over the past year or so I have only received the complained on Apple products being unable to join with these on default settings.

Server specs(not that it matters)
8 core 3.5Ghz
32GB ram ddr4
SSD disks
1 gig uplink.

[dktapps]

well, since I'm unable to reproduce this bug at all, it's hard to say one way or another.

[MisteFr]

I debug it and PlayerPreLoginEvent and PlayerLoginEvent are called but not PlayerJoinEvent. @dktapps

And @MattWAnderson can you stop say shit ? This isn’t a client side issue..

[MisteFr]

It’s coming from the doFirstSpawn() func called on the sendChunk() func on Player.php file I think.

[xXRyzen]

This is most definately an issue related to the users device unable to load required chunks to spawn. Had same issue with several players using iphone 6s devices when i had my "#Radius of chunks that need to be sent before spawning the player" set to 16, they were stuck on "building terrain" and could never join. Once i lowered it back to 4, they were all able to join without issue.

[MisteFr]

@FienixEC No cause it happens after 10-15 mins, before I can join after I can't.

[MisteFr]

If someone find a hack to fix it can he alerts me ?
Because I can't open my server because of this issue..

[xXRyzen]

@Misteboss could you message me on kik at FienixIC, on insta at Fienix8 or skype at Fienix888, would like to check a few things on my test server with you relating chunk settings to see if we can duplicate this while also finding the source of the problem. Feel free to DM me at one of those social media apps, thanks.

Come to IRC, we are there too!

[markkrueg]

I'm seeing about 10 minutes of stability after server launch with 30 players. After that point players start getting the very long "building terrain", and players in-game are experiencing reversions and "lag". Interestingly, if I am stuck at "building terrain" on my iPhone 5s and issue the stop command to the server; at some point during shutdown it will actually bring me into the game just before actual shutdown. So something that is being halted at shutdown is allowing the connection to complete.

@Intyre Would someone please add chat.freenode.net #pmmp to https://botbot.me as well.

[BrianZP]

Agreed with @markkrueg. The moment the server starts to shut down players get a quick glimpse of the server, after which the disconnected message pops up.

[ghost]

Can someone run a /timings report, leave the server on for a few hours while the bug is happening, and paste it?

[kenygamer]

Notice I've setted spawn-radius to 0 and the server crashes throwing this error:

Error: Argument 1 passed to pocketmine\network\mcpe\protocol\DataPacket::putEntityRuntimeId() must be of the type integer, null given, called in phar:///home/survivaltime/PocketMine-MP.phar/src/pocketmine/network/mcpe/protocol/SetEntityDataPacket.php on line 44
File: src/pocketmine/network/mcpe/protocol/DataPacket

I know that 0 equals null, but consider handle this situation, such as setting it to the default value.

[dktapps]

@kenygamer that bug was fixed a few days ago, update your version.

[dktapps]

would anyone mind trying the respawn-fixes branch and see if it makes any difference?

[BrianZP]

@dktapps I just tried out the respawn-fixes branch. Everything seems to be good. I was able to connect almost instantly. Requesting it to be merged ASAP.

[dktapps]

so it's something to do with the teleportation mechanism causing this bug then... hmm

[MisteFr]

Isn't fixed

[MattWAnderson]

Loaded respawn-fixes branch on 198.50.233.106:19132 bone stock PMMP and default pocketmine.yml - I don't personally have the issue so waiting on a user with the issue to test.

[kenygamer]

@dktapps Yet with the issue, tested on @MattWAnderson's server.

[dktapps]

@kenygamer shut up fishing for sympathy. You think any of us get paid? Nobody cares how much you're losing.

[dktapps]

@MattWAnderson 's server spawns me just fine. I don't know what the problem is.

[MattWAnderson]

Here is the log... I wonder if kenygamer is on the current client build? The specific issue I am talking about is with specific iOS devices as listed above. It is odd you are unable to join even when the chunk setting is lowered that fixes the issue for other iOS users. - Still waiting on one of those users who specific had that issue prior to test.

[dktapps]

one thing that does stick out to my eye is the 6600, 6601 coordinates... not sure why that would make a difference though.

[MattWAnderson]

Yeah, doubt it would matter. I did change the world but it's possible it kept the .dat with the old location. 99.9 people can join, it's just those few iOS. I'll turn it up on my production server and see if I can find someone consistent who is around who cannot join.

I understand that the way in which my message was interpreted was not what I expected, in fact, it was the one I least expected. Thus, interpretation, I did not expect a returned message of support, but the act of empathy of one of you, or else, no one, if that is the case (I wouldn't have bothered). In short, my problem with PayPal and the VPS cost is something that involves me, none of you. I mentioned it because I can not send my builders to work on my server if I can not join to the server (to give them reference of the work that each one will perform, respectively). The comment was simply incorrect and I want to apologize if it affected the work that PMMP does, in particular, for linking @dktapps previously.

@kenygamer If no one can join your VPS server it is likely configured incorrectly. If it is just your device it may be a client issue as you should be able to join most servers. I suggest a full uninstall and reinstall on your device and test again.

[kenygamer]

@MattWAnderson Others can join my server (some).

[MattWAnderson]

@kenygamer Please reinstall your client or try another device. The root issue seems to be on your client. You should be able to join other servers, if you cannot join servers your client is on the wrong version or needs to be reinstalled.

[Muqsit]

Overexaggerating the issue won't solve the problem. You still can join and do everything. This issue happens rarely.

@kenygamer @dktapps I was having the problem before the respawn fixes branch came out. After that, when I tested it, I was able to join without long building terrain wait. It was like an instant spawn. @kenygamer try using another device to logon the server. If the problem still continues rename your plugins folder to plugins_old and try to join without any plugins installed. If you have already done that, then do it with your worlds folder, rename the worlds folder and let the server generate a new world. Also in the players folder remove all the data and try to join (idk if it would make any difference but its worth a try). Other than that idk what would be causing it.

[MisteFr]

I have this issue and she isn’t fixed. And on my server, when the server stop to accept player , no one can join.
Dktapps you should test on mine.

[kenygamer]

@MattWAnderson Using MCPE v1.1.1, tried to join "v1.1.0.55" servers.

[ItsLazer]

This happens to me sometimes when I join but I seem to not have the issue that @Misteboss is having. Where the WHOLE server cannot join!

[SirOptic]

Why was my comment deleted?

[kenygamer]

If the problem doesn't get solved, maybe making a rewrite of the whole pocketmine chunk part?
By the way I've just noticed using a VPN of United States let me join. What if its an internet protocol issue

[MattWAnderson]

Hahah... Just lock or close it for now and just have it reopened when steps to reproduce can be made.

[dktapps]

@kenygamer please try replacing your existing RakLib with https://github.com/pmmp/RakLib/tree/rewrite

[kenygamer]

@dktapps I'll try it out tomorrow. Thanks anyways

[kenygamer]

@dktapps It didn't fix the issue.
Maybe discart raklib

[kenygamer]

@dktapps I used TunnelBear's VPN app and I was able to seamlessly join any Minecraft: PE server. However, that does not completely solve the problem, but I have more useful information.

When I joined, only a few chunks loaded, in addition, I wrote some things in the chat and they were not received back (but in the server console). I was 5 minutes moving from one place to another waiting for a "Disconnected" message (did not happen), since chunks did not completely load, and when talking I did not receive the global message that I have talked. I have ran some command, but also did not receive the response of the plugin.

In conclusion, it may be an ISP issue or location-related problem that needs fixing ASAP. Since I'm not the only one who has the issue, it does not seem to be specifically from my ISP (if that were the issue).

[markkrueg]

I agree with @MattWAnderson. Maybe it is best to close this until a consistent way to reproduce this issue exists? I haven't been able to reproduce it reliably; and haven't experienced it in some time.

I think this issue is likely several different network related issues experienced by different users that all happen to result in longer than average or eternal "building terrain" screens.

If a VPN fixes @kenygamer then it sounds like something specific to his ISP or hosting facilities' network configuration.

[kenygamer]

@markkrueg Doesn't seem to be specific, several are having this issue too. In such case, at least should know the fix for it.
VPN doesn't completely fixes it, please read my message again.

[dktapps]

You can tell me "it needs fixing" but I can't do anything about it until I know what's causing it. As of now I cannot reproduce the issue and I don't have any idea what is causing it.

[kenygamer]

@dktapps I've tried to upload a video somewhere showing it, but can't. Screenshots should be enough:

USING VPN:
No building terrain problems, joined successfully:

Noticed just a few chunks loaded, i stayed there for a bit:

I send "Test" in chat

I execute /me Hey command , no response back from server

Check on console:

WITHOUT VPN:
Keeps in building terrain. Console shows the same (scroll up) ^.

[kenygamer]

@dktapps The problem is definitely related to the Internet Protocol. I changed my VPN service and I can join any server with United States VPN, I do not have the issue, but battery goes down considerably faster (not enabling VPN everytime I join a MCPE server).

At least you can rule out several things that may be causing the issue. While it is related to the Internet Protocol, there is something that PocketMine is not handling properly. I repeat that the problem does not happen to me exceptionally, I have friends and known that have the same problem and can not join MCPE servers.

[MattWAnderson]

Sounds to me like your internet provider or something in your location is blocking these connections. I suggest you take your device to a public location and try to connect. If this works your device is fine and it must be something with your home network configuration.

[kenygamer]

@MattWAnderson Mine and of many more people. I've done it, some work, but I live at home, not in public places..

[pedrx21]

@kenygamer yea is ipv4 problem.

[MisteFr]

It's fixed for me

[pedrx21]

I can join on Internet data. but i cannot join using my Wi-Fi.

[FatSteveHall]

I've just signed up for a server on gameservers for the kids to play with and hit this issue.

The first person logging into the world is fine whether it's from iPad 1, iPad 2 or android but the second person can't connect even though it says joined in the server console. However, if I take a pad off the wifi and use 4g I can join as a second person.

I reckon the return message isn't getting back to the correct device when they come through the same router.

Steve

[VCraftMCPE]

i got a fix for you guys, just use an android device

[dktapps]

@kenygamer do you still have this issue? if so, please update your RakLib version to https://github.com/pmmp/RakLib/commit/9142e7decec23b302ab470a55e5ed160df4878db and test again, with and without VPN. Thanks.

[kenygamer]

@dktapps No, the issue fixed since Minecraft PE 1.2

[dktapps]

Thanks! I'll close this then.
