EO 2.3 log out issue

[dr.grumbles]

hi, ive been fiddling with the Eclipse Event System version of the engine, and ive been having a problem with the logging out of a client.

playing around with a couple of machines in my household, ill have the server running fine and dandy, clients log in perfectly fine, but when i close the clients and exit the game, the server does not register that the client has logged off/quit so to speak, so the server assumes the client is still logged in, and that client/account cannot log into the game server unless an admin or server admin disconnects the player/account from the server manually, is there a fix for this?

thank to any who can provide help, much appreaciated.

Are you using a vanilla Eclipse Event System? If so, does the problem occur on only your machine, or on any machine?

[dr.grumbles]

Yes, totally vanilla right out of the box, this affects every machine I have tried it on

sorry for the double post, but any idea on how to fix this issue? still getting the same problem.

Considering nobody else has reported this issue, I believe the problem is with you, not the engine itself. Other than that, I'm afraid I can't help you. Sorry 

[dr.grumbles]

okay, well, considering i haven't altered anything apart from the server's IP address for the clients, im pretty stuck then S: not sure what to do about it.

is there a specific way that you could write a small section of code that checks for something like heartbeat packets to see if the client is still connected?
