Boygrouping Client opens multiple times

[miik]

hello,
i want to make a boygrouping setup. For the test I have one server and one client. The Server .bat file opens the main patch, if I open the bat file from the client, the main patch opens every frame… until its crashing down. In the mainpatch is just a renderer with a quad and the boygroup server node. I work with the latest beta x64 and the latest dx11 pack.
Maybe somebody have an idea, why the main patch on the client opens so often?

thanks miik

hei miik,

if I open the bat file from the client

this doesn’t sound right. you wouldn’t open any patch on the client as all patches are transmitted to clients from the server via the network.

see: https://vvvv.org/documentation/boygrouping#preparations-on-the-clients

I just open the batch file - nothing else on the client. The Mainpatch opens, when i open this on the server with the batch file.

Client: vvvv.exe /client 192.168.0.100
Server vvvv.exe /o C:\XXX\DATA\ _main.v4p /server

hm…i just tried exactly what you described and it works for me. can you please post your main patch so i can see if there is anything suspicious.

also do you get anything in tty on server and client?

Boygrouping Bug with multiple roots

[image] when trying to add a boygroup server node at the server, the clients start to add empty root patches until they crash. we're trying to find out why. because nothing is boygrouped yet. there is just the boygroup server node, trying to find the clients. the root patch of the server looks fine, nothing crazy inside. any idea why the clients seem to think they have to open some root patch ? cheers
