Servers with type 'xonotics' returning empty players randomly
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hi, that is a hard one to reproduce but you might be able by querying the same server several times or with intervals. While the returned result has 'numplayers' 7 for e.g. it randomly returns an empty array of players (regardless of a crowded server having more than 5 real players). Proven this happens when you type two commands consequently. Last command returns with retries:1 and players empty.
I wonder if it's an issue on xonotic side or not, for months I discovered that I get a timeout something like 90% of the time while querying xonotic servers. See my server page that relies on qstast, the xonotic servers are usually displayed in orange with no information because of timeout.
That sounds like a server side issue, have you tried increasing the timeout / retries!
I confirm increasing retries to 5 helped (not the timeout) and returned players. I was expecting at least 'timeout' status when this failed but it's always 'online' in both cases.
