MessageQueue timeout

[Psarius]

I'm running a server with the latest version (1.0.2) on windows. Like issue #204 (which has been closed), myself and other clients are trying to join a session, but end up timing out.
After attempting to join, the server says:

MessageQueue timeout 
QIODevice::write (QTcpSocket): device not open

If there's a solution, I would love to know! If there's not, I hope I can help however I can.

A MessageQueue timeout occurs when the other end hasn't replied in long enough time. (The default at the moment is 1 minute.) Does the login proceed at all? IIRC, in the old issue, the problem was that the client was locked up while catching up with the session and didn't respond to pings, which resulted in the server disconnecting them. However, if the login doesn't complete at all, it sounds more like a network problem.

Yes, it shows them as logging in (then logging out when they timeout). Is there a way to change it to something longer than 1 minute?

[callaa]

For the built-in server, the timeout can be changed in the preferences dialog and for the standalone server with the --timeout argument.

Does the problem occur when users are joining brand new sessions or does it only affect long running sessions with lots of history to download?

[Psarius]

I'll try using a longer timeout, but yes, it occurs when the session has been up a while.

I'd like to add info to this issue.
I am connecting to own dedicated server on localhost. In-progress dprec is currently 16 mb.

The client struggles to play back dprec and disconnects.
The dedicated server outputs same message as in OP post.
