Title: Freezing Problem
Post by: Nagato on August 17, 2007, 10:58:49 pm

I recently got a router so i suspect that is the problem.  It is a Linksys BEFSR41.  When I play tremulous it works well for the first few mintues.  Then it freezes on me.  Its not my ping, it says Command Server Overflow, and i have to exit.

Any help on this problem?

Check the temperature of your router and try to keep it cool(But don't put it in the freezer...)

Touch it, normaly it shouldnt be warmer than the floor, when you can feal the heat its to warm ;)

EDIT: I think i know the bug you mean, is seems that Tremulous opens to many simultan(?) connections to some servers.
During your router can handel only about 30 connections at the same time it will crash.
I've counted more than 200 connections at the same time...

Use your thermofinger, now coming as standard with every human produced.

That depends, is it too warm, or is it sharp and spiky? :D

If it's painfully warm, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if they'll replace it. Routers shouldn't get that warm, it's probably defective.

nope, there are quite a few routers that get very warm in their normal operation.
