Network Timeout on Looting, Opening Crates, etc..

[ZOOT]

Version

2.1

Platform

Windows

This does not occur all the time but I do get a Network Timeout sometimes when opening crates, loot, or just hitting ESC to exit a menu. My PC is old so it might be that but I wish I could extend the time that 7DTD counts for timeouts. I get no yellow or red errors in the F1 console so nothing is crashing to cause the Network Timeout. Please advise on a solution. Is there a Launch Parameter on the Launcher to extend Timeout countdown?

I did have a red error message show up this last Network Timeout:

ERR [EOS] [LogEOSRTC - Error] LibRTCMediaService: Connection error: The connection was interrupted due to broken Ping-Pong

I have seen this symptom in one very specific scenario (which may not be the same as yours). If you are playing on a server with other people and another player starts a very large POI (T5/T6 - especially the new ones) all other players lag until the POI is reset and ready for the starting player. This means you cannot not open crates, loot, or hitting ESC - the client appears hung. Probably is a bug in itself.

I confirm this bug. I've been experiencing this issue on multiple occasions in a single session. Worst case was 15 dropouts in one hour. I've documented it in this post: https://community.thefunpimps.com/threads/connection-to-server-keeps-dropping-out.44791/

Seems to happen when interacting with a container and, in my case, while mining ore.

I have my mouse over use option stop working in the item screen where you see everything in your backpack. I can't eat drink or do anything unless i move it to my main bar and click on the item. I get it when looting boxes and containers. I have to quit the game and rejoin and i get that stupid ping pong error.

I believe these Network Timeouts occur when playing on my friend's Blue Fang dedicated server. They did not occur on another server I tried or my Gportal server I have.
