Custom game always stalls with "Reconnecting to server..."

I've been starting custom chicken games with 94.1 (needed due to Linux instability issues on 91.0) using:

/msg Springiee !spawn mod=Zero-K v1.1.4.4, title=whatever, password=whatever
[join]
!setengine 94.0
[join]
!setengine 94.1
[join]

The crazy engine jiggle is because it doesn't allow me to change directly to 94.1. Anyway, after a few minutes the game stalls and starts logging "Reconnecting to server..." indefinitely. The UI still seems to be active, scrolling and everything works, just the game appears paused.

This happened 3 or 4 times in a row until we gave up. Two of us are joining are experiencing identical issues at the same time. What is happening?

You are not alone in having this problem. I had this a lot yesterday intermixed with segmentation faults.

Same for me. Depending on map size between 5:20 and 6:40 minutes in game the game stalls and a few minutes later it's autoquit: lost connection to game server. Happens at least since yesterday, around 1200 UTC.

Got infolog and replays?
+0 / -0
I dont think that replays of the exited battles will exist because they were automatically quit. I cant provide an infolog myself because my 91.0 infolog does not seem to be recording anything. Hopefully others will have information to shed light on the problem.

EDIT: I should also mention that this happens on 91.0 and 94.1.

There will be a local save of the replay. Look for it in your ZK folder.

The checksum failure is normal.

What? No it isn't.

I recall some dev explaining how it was normal... Let me see if i can find it...

Unfortunatly that leafes us with disconnecting games and no clue why. However it explains why wrong checksums are only a warning (it's the first time I encounter a case where a wrong checksum is indeed not an error).

Infolog and replay here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/avjm0svv7ntp72m/ciCztztj3l/Zero-K

Watching this and two other replays the problem occurred around 3:40-3:45 (220-225s) game time each time. So that seems suspicious.

Just happened again, this time at ~3:20. I was slower to start the game so wondering if it could be some kind of timeout on the Springiee.
To be clear, this is happening in every game that I spawn this way.

Could it be a server sided problem? did somebody change something around friday?

Seems likely to me, related to !setengine perhaps? For that matter why can't I just !setengine directly to 94.1? Do other people have this issue as well?

What would be really sweet would be a way to specify the engine in the original !spawn :)

I have also had problems with !setengine.

you may have a point. I could directly switch to 94.1 during last week and did not have any problems.

Also, it was stated that Oxygen Host could host 94.1, but... I haven't seen anything anywhere stating how to get use that to host o.o
