Maybe your lagging.. usually if the server takes a while to load the map, or you take a while to load it, you will time out. :-/



Or, the server keeps crashing. In that case there's nothing you can do about it. If it happens 'every time' then I doubt that its crashing.

Hmmm... It seems most likely that the server simply crashed on map change due to the usual map change bug, in which case, when Gateroom reloads you can try again.



This game will very often crash on map changes of any sort, you will experience this with every server, sadly.



I'll be offing the Gateroom system in favor of an Edana with gates very soon. Just aint got around to that, or anything else MS related, as of late.

I've no idea what ye be talking about.



But yeah, 'retry' in console should you lose connection with an MS server during a map change, as you often will.



I've switched my server up so Edana is the primary map again. You can travel to The Gateroom using the fountain in the square near Edrin the Guard. Granted, this means to get anywhere, you have to use the fountain, and then one of the pools in the Gateroom, praying that the server crashes neither of those two times.



There's also a teleporter in the temple where you spawn, that will take you straight to the fountain, to expedite matters in the case of server crashes.



...trying to think of an easier way to deal with this, short of remaking the entire Edana map.



...if the damn log would just record what map the server was trying to change to when it crashed, then I could rig a program to read the logs, and restart the server on the intended map.
