Help Login CTD

[vmilon]

Hello, I've recently started developing my own server. I have ran into an issue.

 

When someone tries to log in 3 times with a wrong password the client simply closes, but the IP is not banned. After closing the client i can open it up again and log in just fine. I have found in LoginServer.ini:

 

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Security
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# How many times you can provide an invalid account/pass before the IP gets banned.
# Default: 5
LoginTryBeforeBan = 5

# Time you won't be able to login back again after LoginTryBeforeBan tries to login.
# Default: 900 (15 minutes)
LoginBlockAfterBan = 900

# If set to True any GameServer can register on your login's free slots
# Default: True
AcceptNewGameServer = True

# Flood Protection. All values are in MILISECONDS.
# Default: True
EnableFloodProtection = True

 

But no matter what i do here nothing changes. What am i missing?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I checked everywhere and didn't find an answer.

Could be the client is overriding the server in this. Try lowering the  tries before ban to 3, try again and if the account gets banned my assumption would be correct and you will have to blame the client.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried this and it works, the login server console says that the IP is banned. So you were right and it probably IS a client issue. Any ideas?

You dont need that option IMO, it will just complicate the player's life more

LoginTryBeforeBan = 50
LoginBlockAfterBan = 10

 

do not forget to restart the Auth

I don't need it. The thing is that even if i put "LoginTryBeforeBan = 50" after 3 wrong attempts the client crashes.

That's what i'm trying to figure out.

What pack is that? Chronicle?

[ratchet]

In the loginserver, try to change the LoginFailReason from

REASON_USER_OR_PASS_WRONG (0x02) to REASON_ACCESS_FAILED (0x15)

 

If the client doesn't crash anymore then I guess there's an internal counter that you have to patch (it was like this in one of the client i tried).

 

Or you can use, as a workaround, another error that you would never need (for example REASON_WEEK_USAGE_FINISHED (0x1E) and then just modify the corresponding systemmessage in the .dat file)

 

Troll solutions at their best xD
