null client Connection Issue

[Creodor]

After switching my server to UDP instead of TCP, the server started giving a series of null client errors after running for a short time (15-20 minutes), and then would drop everyone online with an EOFException error, and give that error again every time they tried to connect.

Switching back to TCP fixed this. Something seems to be a bit off with the UDP implementation, possibly.

EDIT: Correction, TCP just took longer for it to occur. Not sure why this is happening, but it only started after the last update.

I have same i suggest reverting to previous backup till the issue is resolved.

This has been a problem on servers with more than ~5 people on for some time as well as the bug where the server waits on a pong.

The EOF exceptions most likely mean the server has ghost players. this is where the server still thinks player X is online but he isnt. it shows player X as 0 ping and that player cannot enter the server. It seems to be a problem serverside but schema is supposed to fix this soon. a server restart is the only solution to ghosting so far and as for the null point. null points can be alot of things normaly just a broad statement for something has broken. I\'ve gotten it for everything from the terrible collision system crashing my game to a software malfunction but it normaly means the server didn\'t crash, you did. Saddly null points seem to often come with a ghost afterwards if you are on multiplayer.

31.07 07:23:24 [Server] INFO [SERVER][LOGIN] login failed (-5): SET CLIENT TO NULL

And a server restart did not fixed it... Any other solutions ?
