USER ISSUE: Can't connect to server
User Id: (15d8af73-9240-4df7-2d54-08dcce89dbe7)
Version: 0.11.0.4 beta release-722
Steps to Reproduce: I created a server using a cloud hosting service. When joining the server, I get an error message.
The server seems to start properly, I can access the web UI and see the world, but when I try to connect I get NullReferenceException
Expected behavior: connected
Actual behavior: The following error message popped up:
Server encountered an exception:
<size=60.00%>Exception: NullReferenceException
Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source:Eco.Gameplay
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Do you have mods installed? Does the issue happen when no mods are installed?: no
**Please provide log files. Instruction is here https://github.com/StrangeLoopGames/EcoIssues/wiki/Getting-the-Eco-game-log-file
in the service hosting console did you link your eco account? something like this
@pflannigan Yes
@pflannigan Not sure if it helps, but I also noticed that it stops responding with the NullReferenceException and changes to
Authentication handshake failed with exception: Server is offline or running in offline mode. It needs to be started in online mode to allow players to connect to it.
I didn't turn it off and I didn't change anything to offline or online mode.
It seems to consistently do this though, starts with NullReferenceException no matter who logs in, and then sometime after shows offline. I assume something internal is breaking and making it shut itself down? But I can still access the web UI and it seems to suggest that time is moving forward in-game.
Also found this in a recent log that I don't remember seeing in the initial log, just mentions that it's receiving a 401 response somewhere

Actually that log file also shows that it logs in I think

Also I can see the join attempts in the chat logs

What cloud service is that? A 401 could indicate a block by cloudflare.
@D3nnis3n G-Portal
Is this solely happening for you or for everyone? Does the issue persist when you create a new world? Can you join other worlds with the same account?
@D3nnis3n It was happening for everyone and persisted each time I created a new world. I didn't try to join another world, but I just switched cloud hosts and everything's good now, so it might have been something specific to the other one.
I dunno if the issue should be kept open. I don't have a problem anymore, but I feel like the error could have been more descriptive as I wouldn't have solved it with the old game host because I didn't have enough insight or control over the server and the error and logs didn't tell me much about the actual underlying issue. I assume something network related.
Well, it's a 401 - Unauthorized, so requests from that server were denied. Potentially by Cloudflare for security reasons. Without direct contact to someone that has system access to the host server (so a G-Portal Rep) and the IP of the server while it's running there isn't anything that could be investigated there, hence I'm going to close the report.
That also wouldn't be a bug, but an issue for [email protected].
