RC Help

DazJenova · #1 03-13-2013, 01:25 PM

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone could help me with this issue, my NC is always disconnecting after a certain time which is causing me a lot of fustration when creating scripts and editting databases. Also once I load RC up it takes atleast over a minute for it to connect correctly before I can do anything.

My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium and I have all firewalls turned off on my Vigin Media Super Hub. I have no anti virus programs running to stop the routing problem of RC connecting so unsure if anyone else suffers this issue as it's so annoying and time consuming.

Did you check your internet connection? It happens alot to people with a slow internet connection.

My internet connection is 100mb, I don't think it's anything to do with that.

Newcastle?! I thought you were Australian for some reason.

On Zodiac, Darkus is constantly d/cing from NC and reconnecting to it. Not sure why, I'll ask him and see why his is that way.

Have you tried a fresh folder install by any chance?

I acually haven't tried A fresh install, I might just do that now and backup all my saved work. I think it might have something to do because my graal folder is located in the default location in my Users on my account in windows, not in olden days of c: \program files\ so it's finding it hard to access and possibly goes through a security check (Like windows 7 checks every file you open basically needing permission)

It's just something I noticed since returning to Graal and yes i'm born and bred in Newcastle

What? I thought Graal used to be zipped into C:\unzipped\Graal?

My Graal was always in program files, i'm going to re install now and see if it changes anything.

My RC is also taking some time untill I can finally use it, but I think thats because of tabs being used. else im never experiencing that kind of lag

DazJenova · #11 03-13-2013, 07:33 PM

It's extremely annoying, I've moved my folder into C: so i'm going to re install now see if it fixes the problem.

DazJenova · #12 03-13-2013, 08:13 PM

Just re installed and nope did not work at all. Even tried RC 2.4 not 2.5 and still same issue with NC disconnecting.

fowlplay4 · #13 03-13-2013, 08:37 PM

Try using a VPN and see if you have the same issues.

DazJenova · #14 03-13-2013, 09:01 PM

I don't have one set up, does anyone know the ports for RC possibly could port forward it to see if there's any connection issue?

Port forwarding won't do anything because it's an outbound connection. The ports RC and NC uses are also different per server. I'm pretty sure this is related to NC disconnecting/reconnecting because the RC doesn't 'ping' or receive data to keep the NC connection alive.

With your RC connected, open a command prompt and do: netstat -a -b

You'll eventually see RemoteControl2.exe listed and it will show the port it's using. The bigger port number is typically the NC.

It's possible your ISP/modem/router is interfering and closing the connection as it appears inactive which in turn causes your NC to disconnect, a VPN could alleviate this issue.
