1. Sending GETSTATUS always causes the connection to drop.
2. Sending the first "correct" ROUTE packet causes the server to go down for a while.
3. Sending GETMAIL for the email after the hint email (4th one in my case) causes the connection to drop.
@richmans Happy to be playtesting your game, but I would be glad if you can reply to this comment so that I know this is being read.
1. Not sure, i will look into it
2. Its not down, your message is traveling through space at the speed of light :-)
3. I think this is caused by my db issues, working on that currently
So, thanks for your patience and feedback. I did run a lot of tests before launching, but most of them did not use a real database… Learned a lot in the last few days!
With regards to issue 2, I wasn't referring to the delay between between the route packet sent and the route packet received. It's when I finally send a packet with the right daily access code encrypted with the handshake key, I'm unable to continue playing for an hour or so, because the server stops sending anything (even the "hello" packet).
Second, after deriving what I presume is the correct access code, I am no longer authorized for transceiver usage. Is this an intended game mechanic? There doesn’t seem to be any indication of how to proceed if so.
