NETWORK STATUS: [Error] at startup

**Weissrolf** · November 22nd, 2020, 10:45

Hello.

I often (likely always) get NETWORK STATUS: [Error] when I try to startup FGU. This seems to lead to FGU varying between 1 to 30 seconds just to launch, often accompanied by the dreaded "not responding" message and blue circle pointer when it takes too long. FGU still is perfectly usable once the launcher finally finishes.

It's noteworthy that FGU is not busy during this time, CPU, network and disc load is hardly measurable.

The current FGU client does some initial external IP resolution in order to provide external IP information in a synchronous manner. The issue had previously been identified by @smelton; and the next build already has been modified to make the external IP resolution asynchronous and moved to our own servers. (We have been using public servers for IP resolution.)

I tried the DEV channel and the error remains. But at least it now only takes 1-2 seconds to timeout and finish launching. Why does that error appear anyway?

And to clarify: This thread and issue here has nothing to do with my comparison of load-times between FGU and FGC. That other thread (locked now) compared load times after the launcher was running, this thread here is about load times and NETWORK STATUS: [Error] before the launcher is accessible.

Please do not use the Dev channel unless asked to. There is absolutely no guarantee what is in that channel or what version it is running; which means it's worthless to report anything from there since any of the developers could be using it.

Once the next version is official released and announced in the Live channel, then check it.

Was the update for this rolled out today? The error does not show up in the console log anymore and launcher starts without long delay. But FGU's version number still displays as 4.0.1 (2020-11-11)?!
