WIP 'Connection Lost' when session moves to next one

I've had this 'Connection Lost' problem for 15 months.
If I'm in an online session for more than 10 minutes and then the session moves to the next one I get 'Connection Lost' and I get booted out of the server.
It happens with all servers, does not matter what car or track.
If I've entered a server and there is less than 10 minutes left to go, I do Not get Booted when the session moves to next one. Other people on the server do not have my problem. I do not get 'Connection Lost' mid sessions, only the end of them.

When I look at log file at the point of 'Connection Lost', it says:-

Error (The virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a hard or abortive close. For UDP sockets, the remote host was unable to deliver a previously sent UDP datagram and responded with a "Port Unreachable" ICMP packet. The application should close the socket as it is no longer usable.) sending to 92.204.xx.xxx:2733"
(I've xx'ed out the server IP address for security reasons).

If I google that error message, it takes me to C++ coding websites. I guess only the devs could help here?




The last video is an old one from August last year with the old UI.

As you can see in the videos, when the session moves to the next one, 30 seconds later the 'Connection Lost' message pops up. During this 30 second period other peoples cars are invisible and I see no new messages in the chat box from anyone.

I can not remember what changed 15 months ago for me to start getting these. Can not remember if it started after a new build update. Same cable modem.

Things I've tried over the last 15 months without fixing the problem:

Turned On/Off Replays
Turned On/Off "Save Replays to memory"
Deleted all Replay files and logs
Steam 'Verify integrity of game files'
New Player.json file
New UserData folder
Closed Firewall and Virus checker (temporary)
Removed Firewall and Virus checker (temporary)
Turned off Hardware Firewall on my Cable Modem (temporary)
PC already connected to Modem via an ethernet cable, not wireless
And after getting new Hard drive:-
-Fresh install of Windows 10
-Fresh install of Steam
-Fresh install of the game
I do have all 3 on different Hard drives, not that it would matter.

Also If I make a SteamCMD dedicated server on my computer and join I get the same problem as above.
Yes I actually get booted from my own server that I'm running on my own machine when the session moves to next one.

Thank you for reading

 

Thank you, there you go.
Problem still there with a fresh Player file too.

 

I also have the same issue when online sessions change. I have had the issue for a couple of months, not 15 months. It does not happen with every session change, so not consistent. It also happens to other folks.

 

The admin person of my league gave this to me. It's the server log of when I get booted between sessions:
I've xx'ed out my ip address for security reasons.

I forgot to say, it happens mostly when there are people on the server. If I'm there on the server just me, then there is a lot lower chance of it happening.

 

Thanks Coutie, thank you for making bug report. If you need any other files let us know.
Cheers

 

Thank you again. It's a bit of a strange one we both agree.
To give details about my Modem and ISP.
The ISP is Virgin Media based in England.
It's a fixed IP address. Speed 200megaBit down/ 20megaBit up.
The cable modem is from my ISP, Netgear VMDG490 Super hub. It's an all in one Modem with a built in router. It does have wi-fi also but I use a ethernet cable to it.
I play a lot of other online games, rfactor is the only game that does this.
Not sure what I would say if I phoned my ISP.
The OS is Windows 10.

 

Could one of you nice chaps that have same ISP as me, 'Virgin Media' based in England, tell me if you have any problem as me? Even if you say you have same ISP but have no problem is useful too. I would like to rule out if it's my ISP.

 

Many years has been passed and this issue is not solved, i just across my fingers in every session changes.
