Disconnection and unable to reconnect! Corona SDK

Question

Hi,

I have been working on a realtime multiplayer game in Corona SDK.

The user logs in, everything works fine, but then after 2-10 minutes it says connection error 9, which is supposed to mean that the connection is recoverable. So I call recoverConnection(), and it is a hit or miss; sometimes it works, other times it doesn't and gives a 9 or 1 error again. I have it set up so that everytime it gets a connection error it tries to connect over and over.

I set the recovery allowance to 100.

I don't know what is causing it to disconnect. I'm connected to wifi on my desk, so i'm not moving around. I don't get how it can't reconnect sometimes!

This is very frustrating!

Please HELP!

Hi,

To verify the internet connectivity, Client sends keep-Alive messages every 2 seconds and if continous 3 attempts are failed, client gets CONNECTION_ERROR_RECOVERABLE  ie 9 in onConnectDone() callback.

Please make sure that you are calling recoverConnection() with in the time limit which you have specified in setRecoveryAllowance(), otherwise you will get AUTH_ERROR ie 1. Because server removes the user session after the recovery allowance time is over.
