Server/Client communication slowdown after time

jimbothepmc · Feb 2nd 2022

The longer the launcher/server/client are operating, the slower the network communication gets between the client/server. At the time of this report, any quest interaction was taking approximately eight (8) seconds (turn in, complete, or accept). Additionally, coming out of raid or swapping traders would take a while. When everything was launched fresh, it was as instant as Unity can be.

You'll see in the error log that System.Net.WebException (request timed out) start getting thrown. In the previous incarnation of a slowdown, there were these exceptions from the UI, but also when the system would try to spawn bots. Basically, any server/client interaction has the potential of causing the backtrace.

Can you try without mods?

One of them is causing a lot a deserialization issues

Sure. It may take me a hot minute to get to it.

Since I've always experienced unrelated UI delays (or hangs) in Live/SPT, is there something specific I should look for (as opposed to waiting until long delays start)? A single presence of the backtrace--modless--as an indication of the problem? The "Item deserialization error"?

I couldn't give you a definitive explanation but your log was filled with errors, I'm surprised the game works at all. I would guess a mod is editing/adding an item to the game and doing it incorrectly.

It's definitively Fin's FAIT. When I had no mods, I had zero deserializations nor "The request timed out" and that was with three back-to-back raids. There was only one exception in the error log with a vanilla run (see below).

While I idled at the main menu, I shutdown the server, added FAIT, and brought the server up. My first raid had several network errors and tens and tens of deserializations.

I'll add a report on Fin's mod.

FWIW, here's that vanilla trace I saw in case you are curious:
