The Legendary Communication Error

[RedSeamonster]

Hello everybody. This thread is meant to be about the dreaded "Communication Error"

that is received while you reload the server lists on your multiplayer screen. I have had to deal with this since I started playing, and I have a couple questions:

Have you ever had this problem?

How do you fix it?

Do you know any solutions?

I am hoping somebody has some knowledge on this problem so all players can benefit. It's a huge problem to me and it stops me from connecting to servers on a regular basis. Feel free to respond and answer the questions, and take the poll.

Have you ever had this problem?yes, (i wouldn't call it a problem, more like a solution)

How do you fix it?well, the easiest and in my mcsg experience so far is that when you try to mass join a certain server this message comes up, and when you try to join you get messages such internal java exceptions or end of stream.

Do you know any solutions? As i have already mentioned this is more like a solution to people trying to mass join a server and therefor crashing it.

Communication errors are often received if a serverjoin is attempted and failed. You have to wait a bit for the server to be available again. Common issue (i assume anyway).

There are no real solutions, it's just things to make it better. You can join a full server and normally the communication error is gone. Or you can restart your MC client.

Is that not just around the time that the servers are being restarted?

Only when the games reset for me too

It rarely happens to me, just spam the refresh button ><'
or restart your minecraft client

 

[Dean]

It only occurs if I attempt to join a server and I get disconnected if it's full OR as I'm joining a server and cancel the joining process.

Have you ever had this problem? - Yes, quite often.
How do you fix it? - Restart minecraft or wait 5 seconds and then refresh servers.
Do you know any solutions? - Don't refresh your servers so rapidly, and don't join full servers.
