The dedis start to lag after 2-3 hours or more. (SmG servers, but Cloud has a pretty good connection, >900mbps)
Things that might cause the issue :

1. Instanced servers
2. The abOnline from master relay(i think, i don't know how master relay works, but thats what glitchy scripts and himanshu said)

Also, this makes join lag insupportable.

I was working with a player named seraph and he had crashes (only ever had the game run once, hasn't run since)

He's going to reinstall everything and see if that helps, but I'm adding this issue for future investigation, cause its not clear yet why it happens.

He was getting two crashes:

1. a access violation at fault offset 0x001ac0ca. The function at this fault offset gets called right before the error in 2), once that error is thrown, the same function here is called again - resulting in a access violation. Even tho the game was able to write to the same memory right before 2) error is thrown.

2. when I debug the assembly directly on his machine, I saw a actual c++ exception thrown with error code 406d1388, which seems to be related to corrupt dxd or vc redist installs (happened for a few games - just search exception code 406d1388)

Every dedicated server is lagging (no matter where they are located, US or EU).
For example, I live in EU, and every dedi EU server is lagging (players warping, 2 grenades at a time,people shooting more than 1 sniper bullet, tons of bluescreens)
The only thing that fixes this is a server restart.
Well, that is just a temporary fix.A server that was restarted will lag again after a day or even after a few matches.

I'm opening this issue because a cosnsiderable amount of players are encountering this issue and will make a lot of new players drop off.
Also ,this issue is new (4 months ago the game was just fine).

A few people reported this to me and I need to spend some time investigating or fixing.

assigned to myself to address

Basically when I'm hosting 2 clients from same machine and some random joins, the 3rd player basically does not register properly.

To the 3rd player, they aren't even in the game. To the host, they are partially in the game (I can see them, but their name data is missing)

Not many people use this feature so its not a big deal, but, noting it for future if anyone wants to attempt to fix.

tried loading h2.5 holidays grave
even by using split screen the clients stay stuck in the "setting up game" screen
same for h2.5 night mombasa
same for h2.5 collateral

need to fix, there should be at least one network player added if only peer host exists

There's obvious issues with devices which don't support NAT Hair-pinning in several instances.

One of these instances is if you host your own game on your own network you're unable to join it whether it's on the same computer or another.

The second instance of this issue in theory I believe is when two people from the same network which has no NAT hair-pinning support attempt to join a game together which is not being hosted on their network. The reason I believe this happens is due to the peer-to-peer communication halo2 seems to establish between users, I have not been able to confirm this yet but it's a possibility.

My proposed fix for these issues is when any client is running we create a separate network thread responsible for sending broadcast packets over the local network and receive them and store data about them on the other systems. In theory what this would allow us to do is determine internal IPs and ports of other clients on the network.

The only time this wouldn't work is when NAT Translation takes place and the router gives the user a different destination port for their WAN address... we'd need a more intelligent way to map from that port to an internal IP address for clients. I guess more thought needs to go into this.

The only other option I could imagine is having user specific data such as the XNADDR also map the internal IP of the user. The problem with this is we would have to detect the internal address of the user and with multiple network adapters this may fail (though halo 2 allows you to specify which network adapter it should use, so maybe we can detect which is selected).

This requires some more thought, on a moderate NAT it's possible that we talk to a remote server to get the port the client is using externally and map that to the WAN address for this specific client... then use that information to deliver it to other clients on the same network and assume WANIP+PORT = X Internal client. On a strict NAT however only the host we contacted would be able to contact the client back on that port meaning when connecting to other systems or ports it would most likely use a different port each time in NAT translation.

Regardless my current plan for fixing this is some how having clients tell each other about them selves on the local network so they're capable of translating the data in a way that it would avoid having to communicate through their WAN address avoiding NAT Hairpinning (Loopback) all together.

There are configuration options for controller and mouse sensitivity, however the GUI element doesn't exist.

ping/pong events will slowly increase in latency due to packets being ignored/dropped, which also means zombies/gungame packets, and authorization packets are being dropped

This needs to be threaded asynchronously.

Accessing handicap menu causes people to change teams in zombie games and other modes where changing teams isn't allowed

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oHwoCbnAGQ

Not a bug with cartographer itself but with the game. Maybe it can be looked into in the near future.

The semi-transparent background of the console flickers when taking shield damage and disappears during player respawn (after dying, then reappears right as scoreboard appears on respawn).

Also doesn't seem to render on some graphics cards.

@shayaantx stated earlier that these issues could be caused by hooking the console in XLiveRender which is called before EndScene rather than hooking it in EndScene itself.

As discussed in #dev_preview, pressing F8 does not always size to the actual window size. After main game loading screen, if one does not log in using a profile and arrive at main menu, pressing F8 has a tendency of not working. Even then, it may still show strange behavior.

This isn't easy to do, I've achieved some form of this, but its still incomplete

Ask Rude_Yoshi for the code if you want to work on it

Happens with servers that aren't restarted often and are getting alot of trafic. (like #37 but not the same issue).
It basically affects join lag and join times. (people already on the server are getting alot of lag whenever a new player tries to join, and the player that tries to join gets on the server after a long time, sometimes it requires more tries to actually join the server).
Tested myself and some others players were complaining too.
As reference, check SmG servers that aren't restarted often. (which allows us to find performance issues lol).
I don't really think it's an issue on their end as #37 got fixed and also a server restart fixes it.

Needs testing and needs to be fixed

When I first start the launcher, it just crashes

In the config file call it disable_xdelay where 0 leaves it untouched and 1 to ?? prevents players from being able to delay or speed up the countdown but causes the timer to begin at the specified number (not 10 by default). For example if 15 the game will start counting down from 15 while no one can delay it. Tho honestly idk who would want to make it >10. cos if it's too high people will have a hard time changing teams. therefore balancing issues etc. I still wanna support this feature for <10 seconds e.g. tho.

If you check this option in NetWorx to not analyse the LAN traffic, the server list of Halo 2 will not be generated at all.
Windows 10 Creators Update and Fall Update tested.

NetWorx software : https://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/

Since 2.3, it always expire after a reboot or some days later. Got this on 2 computers.
Really annoying.

H2Launcher as admin only, windows 10 Fall Update

Permanull has noticed on his unix machine (running wine) that the audio quality is poor (not usable) for him, while I've not seen this reported by anyone else at this time.

• He noted it was cracky

Needs investigation

When I enhance graphics of Halo 2 with the NVIDIA panel, the whole build message+connected will blink.
It will not blink if I use the default NVIDIA configuration.

Halo 2 config =>

I have no issue in-game, I don't know what is the parameter will lead to the bug, but I think you can easily reproduce it.

Windows 10 Anniversary - NVIDIA GTX 770 - Latest Drivers

Not sure why it does this, assume its because I'm not saving the d3d render state properly, although if that was the case it wouldn't work in the menus.

Its not terrible bug (since the text and caret still display), but I would like it to be consistent everywhere

(EDITED). Shader was not ported from H2X to H2PC properly. See below.

while loading the map after joining a server, there's a slight chance you might get kicked out of the game with the Lost connection to system link error displaying.

Incorporate the xDelay function properties in the DLL rather than relying on memory.

Issues:
Issues with Network server list with so many Dedicated servers running at once. Makes it difficult to select the right game you want to join.

Believe a combination of Server Network list refresh times and connection lag time.

Launcher seems to remove itself if you have no internet connectivity, requires need to re-download/copy back the launcher to H2 folder.

Before:

After:

Latest update added a feature that prevented humans in zombies (red team) from seeing teammate emblems. This is only supposed to activate in Zombies.

Seems that playing a Zombies game and then leaving to join a normal team game triggers this, but doesn't happen all the time.

Restarting the game restores normal team emblem behavior

Currently there is no way for the host of a client-hosted game to kick people from his/her party.

Voice chat was added originally but we had issues getting player information reliably, if we can get player info in a reliable fashion, voice chat can easily be added back.

Ask Rude_Yoshi for that code if you want it

This is a minor issue, but neither the Escape keyboard command nor the lower onscreen Cancel button will exit the Update menu. Only the Cancel button listed as an option in the menu will exit the menu.

On the page description project =>
https://github.com/PermaNulled/cartographer

The url to h2v.online is broken.

When there are no updates, the text just displays empty strings after the download and install text.

Also if you select B to cancel on the menu instead of the actual button that says cancel. the menu will close and reopen.

As the title says, people hosting on the same network woudn't allow people to join the dedi created on the network

Client hosted zombies, when the host attempts to kill himself, game crashes. See dev_preview

The current JSON parser from dropbox causes heap corruption, it will be resolved by using protobuf to query lists and populate data to a python list server instead of the PHP/Web/method.

I already added this awhile back, but backed it out cause people wanted p2p. Now people want p2p and the ability to download from a map repo

I have a chatbox command I added for this, but we took it out cause we could not get player info reliably

If we can get peer indexes correctly, the kick function can be added back

Ask Rude_Yoshi for the code

Apparently on keyboard that are not US layout, the console can get triggered by the key that is two spots to the left of L.

On UK keyboards, this is the (@ ' ) key, and this causes issues in the in game login; people are unable to input the @ character during signup

It would be nice to have an option to somehow change ports.

With the game as is, players on the same local network can not join the same game, otherwise one of them gets booted out, and I suspect this is something to do with server session creation being unable to handle two players on the same network connection wise.

Something like this also happens with Warframe, but Warframe does indeed have the option for players to change the listening ports used, which fixes the problem.

Halo: Online also has this same exact issue, but no way to fix it.

As of right now, one of the players on a reliable VPN fixes the issue.

Updating from within the game (Cartographer > Update), the resolution became something really small (maybe 600 x something?) and I got stuck in the beginning place (Campaign and Network), not being able to move anywhere but see with mouse, and weapons working.

And now, even after deleting the game files and reinstalling, nothing changes!!!

Games starts, no zombie gets chosen, game ends and goes back to the main menu. 1 fix is to have a client manually switch to green team. Sometimes if the host is green then everything works. Sometimes it just works. Could be a UDP issue

Problem is, "COL zJHONz" and "Lilith_Astrea69" and "henry2396" were never seen in the game. Maybe they tried to join the lobby, got denied, but they still got registered to NetworkPlayers?
