Too Many Packets

[Olegian]

I play a lot of eggwars, but recently a couple of my friends have had their games frozen and then then minecraft exiting out with the dirt background and a message saying "too many packets" is that the servers fault or ones internet connection? Because I know my friend has really good internet and this has happened to him many times. It's pretty frustrating after playing a LOOOOOOONG game of eggwars and "crashing" when your about to win or so.

As well as, I remember before this error or problem has never occurred ever, nor does this happen in any other servers, so I'm assuming this is a server based problem. This all started recently as well, as stated never had this happened to me before.

It happens to me the same but in all modalities takes to load the map but is not the connection because I always go less than 100 ping.

So it is a server Issue?? What do you mean by loading the map, shouldn't everything be loaded at the beginning? I do know as well, it's not my PC 100% sure (built that thing with pretty decent parts), anyways my ping is less then 100 as well, 40 at most.

like I think it is the server to a friend happens too.

I have seen this quite frequently and this is typically due to the connection a player has with the server. My best guess is that their proxy to the server could be causing them to lag, which means that their game/internet will send to many packets at once to the server and therefore time them out.

is there any way to fix this, like is there anything that could be implemented to the server, some sort of program that could boost the "stable-ness" of the server,?Because I'm assuming this is a server issue since I haven't had this issue with other servers. I've talked to some more players and it's been happening frequently lately.

(I'm not too educated in coding and whatnot) but could the problem also rely on the player overload on the server? Especially that there are a lot of problems located all over the world, and i'm assuming that could cause quite a disturbance in the server creating massive lag, because I have had a couple lag spikes when getting close to specific players at times.

Yeah, a couple of my friends and other players have had the same issue.

Unless they changed the proxy, there is not much that they can do, that I am aware of. Another problem could be how much ram is being allocated to Minecraft causing the lag. They may need to allocate more ram from their computer to Minecraft. Not sure if this will actually do anything, but worth a try. If that doesn't work then I really don't know what else to do, sorry.

I know ram isn't the issue, I already checked that. So this is going to be an unresolved issue for many players? Lately in cube-craft people have been agreeing that this has been an issue lately. I ain't pointing fingers either, its just frustrating at the moment.

This can be caused by a lot of things.. A packet is like a little message you send to the server with some info, "I hit {name}" for example, when you send too many packets you get kicked.

II doubt Having more ram in the game would prevent sending packets. You have the right idea in your first post where lag causes it but it does not seem you know why. When the game lags it stops sending packets, the packets pile up and when a lag spike stops all the packets being stock piled up are sent all at the same time.
So why does the server kick you for sending too many packets? Well I am going to guess it's some of the following.
A.) Ddos, sending too many packets to the server ddos it, when I say too many I mean more than the server is able to handle. Which shuts it down. By kicking players sending too many packets it prevents ddos attacks.
B.) Cheaters, lots of cheats send a lot of packets in order to work. Kicking people who send a lot of packets kind of accomplishes kicking cheaters.
C.) Server, the server just can't handle the more packets so it kicks the player out.
Sorry if any of this is wrong.

This happens to everyone and I mostly see it if someone has a hacked client and turn on too many things, but it might be as well as the internet sending too many things? Google can help as well! Not trying to sound like people who are passive agressive, but google it if this didn’t help! :D

This is indeed a problem, I don't think it's a server problem as it happened to me in other servers, it's probably because of the connection.

Is that in Cubecraft where only happens to me.

Yes, as I said it probably it depends on your connection or maybe I'm wrong and this is a Cubecraft problem. But, I have this issue in many other big servers too.
I don't know.

Yeah I'm aware of that... But still, spam just by moving around the map?

Yeah, I've never used a cheat client before nor do I have any DDOS on stand by xD. I figured it was by lag, but still I believe my wifi is decent, as I have stated people with better wifi then me have had the problem, might a server update be required or whatnot?

*sigh* I wouldn't post a thread if I couldn't find much results. I posted this thread for more awareness of a reacquiring problem with other players.

When you use hacks its kicks you for that I think.

Ok sorry.
