Topic: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

Hi,

When I take the first screenshot (and only the first) after launching Teeworlds, the games hangs for ~10 seconds then I get disconnected from the server I'm on with a "timeout" error. I understand that taking the first screenshot will slow it down (so it can "warm up" or so) but is there a reason for the timeout or a way I can fix it?

Thanks! smile

teeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Re: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

Since nobody answered I will. Obviously, don't expect too much.

You see I would love to code dive, swim up and down, then backwards, on my back and on my butt, see some fishies perhaps but... i can't be bothered. Perhaps next year?

Dani, rope = suicide still. Liver got used to it so don't mind.

Re: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

From my point of view, an offhand comment about anything would equal in value to what I’m about to write, just in case you take me too seriously. Anyway, here goes…

Giving out help and advice is the only reason to post? That’s a rather flimsy argument. In my case, I post because I find it amusing. A few more people do as well but even if it was only me, that might’ve still been enough.

Back to the subject. I don’t exactly see how much more helpful your post was than mine. Why did you post? If only to scold me, you could have just PM’ed me. No need to be hypocritical.

Is my posting harmful in some way? Tell me and I will stop without a doubt. Still, I have yet to hear a complaint from someone other than you. Like the recipients of my posts.

Threads I choose to post my ‘useless answers’ in are mostly those with no comments, threads nobody cares about anyway. They might’ve easily remained unanswered if I didn’t write something in them and since I feel the urge… Even more – when I write something there, perhaps someone else will do that as well.

As for the amount of my posts at such a short interval. That’s an inside joke you don’t need to know about.

Re: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

Back to the subject.

This is what your are missing. This subforum is called "Support" and not "Off-Topic" i would´n write if it was called that way.

As we are in a supporting forum about a specific topic i would expect ppl not writing nonsense like that. Instead stay on topic:

- Your HDD could have been in sleep mode and had to start (wrong but still could check that).
- That might be a specifig bug referenced to eighter your hard- or software as i dont get this bug pls write more information about your system.

and not just:

- Hi, im Chuck Norris but i still can´t help you.

@NFD Tee: What OS are you running?

@Bobop: Writing pointless crap in dead threads is called "bumping", and are are against the forum rules! Keep your poetry and philosophical gibberish away from this forum please.

I'm all for random waffling but, please, start your own thread. smile

I'm running Windows XP. I noticed that it only seems to happen on certain servers, so I'm thinking it's an issue with an idle/AFK timer of some sort.

But the first screenshot still takes 10sec right?

Re: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

And this happens even if you:

1. Start TW
2. Go on server; take screenshot (slow)
3. Take screenshot again (faster)
4. Log on to a differen server, take screen (fast?)
5. Restart game, take screenshot (slow again?)

Re: Timeout error when taking screenshot?

Thats realy fucked up haha.

I would test some things like: Starting TW on another HDD. Starting as Admin. Create a second User account and try there. Start from external HDD/Flash Disk if you got one.

But can´t realy help you on that problem. I had to sit infront of your pc.
