It's old but gold. If it could help you out we've probably chucked it in here.

Can't get past "downloading terrain"

Post by RobipodSupreme » 10 Aug 2012, 09:33

I have tried logging onto the Tekkit server several times, but only get as far as "downloading terrain". It then either freezes or goes back to the menu screen.
Invunarble, Trovo and others have also told me it lags the tekkit server lots when I try to log in.

I have reinstalled the technic launcher entirely (deleting .techniclauncher completely), but it persists.

What I did: I opened the technic launcher, and selected Tekkit in the drop down menu, then put in my username and password. I clicked on options, checked "manual selection" and picked v3.1.1|1.2.5, and logged in. The server connection was on 4 bars, I could connect to Escapecraft (vanilla) and to other servers on the list (including other Tekkit ones), but I could only get to "downloading terrain" on the tekkit server.

Help pl0x


EDIT: looking around, the most common solutions were to be teleported while logged in, yet stuck in the downloading screen, or to have server side player data removed, though I don't know what that would entail with regard to items, chests or inventory.

EDIT: Motormaniac has the same, as does Silva14. Silva and I were at motormaniac's house when we got a problem, a link? If he is amenable could his area be wiped so it's less laggy? I know he wants to get back on.

EDIT: Motor believes it may be due to some sort of geothermal cell factory, which has epically overflowed or just lagged it up.

PROBLEM SOLVED

I managed to get on for long enough to /home.

However, motormaniac's house is still a pit og laggyness.

Could you do something like that for my city please? it's laggy as shit and I have no clue what's causing it, I removed all my buildcraft tubes, moved all my oil, moved my factory, but it's still laggy. :\

If your factory is pumping out a high volume of items it'll still lag the area even with tubes, unless everything is off then mods to the rescue?

the tubes are buggy... they can overflow and spill entities onto the ground where they cause even more lag.

Always encase your tubes in Lava people.

actually the tubes lag the clients, but are safe. The pipes are the dangerous stuff because they drop items.

Actually no, I recently removed all Buildcraft pipes and Redpower tubes for my factory within the area, but around my house I get killer lag that drops me down to about 10FPS. :(

I wouldn't call 10 fps "killer", my laptop rarely goes above 16, and often stays at 12, and it's not too bad.

That right there is horrid. Your laptop is bad and you should feel bad.
