Four Month Long Connection Problems

[Zhulik 3559]

Greetings,

 

I, alongside others, have been experiencing horrendous connection issues with LOTC for multiple weeks, if not multiple months now. I will try and keep this both concise and informative and free of any flaming.

In short, whenever I try to connect to LOTC during prime time it often displays "Logging In > Loading Terrain > Disconnected". In this period, only during Loading Terrain, I have the ability to hit escape and see a blue world as well as press tab. Ultimately, the same result of "Disconnected" occurs. I believe this is an issue that needs to be resolved not simply because I need the issue fixed, but because others clearly need it fixed as well as seen with this thread posted multiple weeks ago. I will also post my own video of what occurs: 

I have quite literally tried every conceivable method recommended to me to attempt and resolve this issue, including:

1. Restarting Minecraft.
2. Direct Connecting.
3. Using a different IP.
4. Using a GM to TP me away into spawn while I could press tab.
5. Pressing/spamming f3+a to reload chunks.
6. Joining another server and re-trying.
7. Restarting my internet connection.
8. Restarting my computer.
9. Using command prompt and typing "ipconfig /flushdns"
10. Uninstalling minecraft entirely, deleting .minecraft and re-installing a fresh client.
11. Repeating the above without mods.
12. Repeating the above without resourcepacks.
13. Devoting more RAM to my Minecraft client.
14. Updating Java.
15. Updating Drivers.
16. Cursing at my computer and slamming my desk.

Regardless of my attempts, whether I am connected or not appears to be entirely up to chance. Sometimes I have a fully modded client with resource packs and Shaders and I am able to load in fine. Other times, with a fresh client, for hours, I am unable to.

This is a second video taken from today, the first having been recorded in DECEMBER.

In this video, I attempt to connect to two different IPs with a third being from direct connect. The top server is mc.lotc.co, the bottom is login.lordofthecraft.co. Then, in direct connect, you can see it. After spamming f3+a, it seems to finally work, but this is clearly not the solution since it rarely works.

As said, whether I connect or not appears to be left entirely up to chance. It becomes extremely frustrating because this technical problem forces me to become completely unreliable with scheduling. Whether its an RP meeting, event, raid, etc, I cannot plan in advance since I am rarely able to connect. Likewise, once I do, I cannot teleport or change skins since teleportation disconnects me and I am unable to re-log, and skin changing forces me to re-log by default.

I have also spoken to numerous people regarding this, staff and friends included. I have spoken to Lyonharted, Kowaman, Ioannis, Robert "Good Boy" Goodwill, Sir_Niccum, Hero_Prodigy, and anyone else who would hear my plight. none of their recommendations have aided, and some have outright just not responded (Kowaman pls respond).

Thus, I simply request an answer from the Devs or anyone with any knowledge regarding this issue to simply provide some solutions or tell me if there is none so I have deniability when I can't connect and not appear to be a lazy/inactive individual.

Hey friend, so at the moment the issue seems to be provider side from what 501 told me. What you can do when you get stuck in a glitched chunk is write @Game Moderator in the LotC support chat and ask them to TP you. Also, it appears to be a packet loss issue. You can check what's going on sorta by doing tracert mc.lotc.co in your command prompt. If you see asterisks (*) that indicates packet loss. Not much else at the moment. The TP tends to work though.

If a @Developer could perhaps grant some assistance or insight regarding a MC related issue I'd greatly appreciate it. Starting around two weeks ago I have been unable to connect to the server, usually getting disconnected after stalling at the Loading Terrain screen for around a minute. - I'm unsure if this is a connection issue on my end, though it seems to be the only plausible reason. I have reinstalled Minecraft, updated Java, ran with and without mods such as Optifine, Forge - nothing seems to work. Funnily enough I have a good ping to the server

 Here is the latest launcher logs, I can't see anything being an issue. 

 

I have tried just about everything you listed in addition. After briefly speaking to 501 he told me that it is likely on their end and it is being looked into.

Much like yourself I've had this issue for awhile now, it really makes peforming my in game responsibilities as an ET Manager hard to accomplish.

 

I'm unsure where to go at this point.

We've been aware of these issues affecting a small subset of people for the past few weeks, and are actively devoting much time to try to resolve them.

I am also having the same connection issues for months now.  Looking for a fix and resolution. I will keep an eye on this for any replies that would be helpful to me and the other players of this server that continue having problems with no resolution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the issue as well here. Oddly only on one account, MamaBearJade. If I cant log in on it, I usually can on other accounts. I hope this might add some insight as well.
