EDIT UPDATE: After uninstall/reinstall on server, client, and Java, and further network security tricks, tried running a test server on the same machine as client. Unable to connect, with the same messages in logs as noted below.
Wiped all versions of Minecraft from computer, reinstalled latest modpack (1.13.2) for server and client. In Mods folder, moved out all .JAR files for mods from server and client installs. Was then able to connect from local client to server hosted both on my own PC and on my server PC, over both local IP and WAN IP (through local router port forwarding.)
So a certain mod is somehow blocking my and only my computer from joining multiplayer games. I tried swapping out groups of mods (groups of 5, by first letter, etc) but every time I take out just some of the mods the server and client don't start and I get weird errors about missing classes.
Any advice on how to isolate a problem like this?
/EDIT
Running DW20's latest pack, v1.13.2
Server sits in the same room. Got two other players on the server, one is in the same room with me and connects locally, other lives on the other side of town and has a worse computer than mine.
I've cut the view distance down to 8 and added -Dfml.readTimeout=120 to the server start.bat file's java.exe arguments and to my own modpack instance Java runtime arguments. Both server and my client are set to 8GB max memory. I also shut down my antivirus while running the game. However, the timeout happens in about 35-40 seconds regardless of the readTimeout value I have (first tried it at 60, then 90).
Local client just gives the connection closed by host error, or says it failed to connect. Server console says it's disconnecting me (gives identity value for my profile and skin): Took too long to log in.
This is especially aggrieving as I just spent two hours troubleshooting the server in the first place because somehow, even though it defaults to port 25565, it couldn't be seen on port 24242 with all the same network configuration as it's had before (I used to run on a port 3484), but works on all those settings when run on the old port. My Space Engineers server doesn't complain about a port in that range. And I know all the network settings are kosher when the server pings from WAN address and people outside my house can play.
Has anyone tried to wrangle this before, just one computer that has issue with a pack? I was fine playing on the 1.6.1 version of DW20's pack for MC 1.16. Am I using the Java argument wrong, even? From my start.bat file:
java.exe -javaagent:log4jfix/Log4jPatcher-1.0.0.jar -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -Xmx8192M -Xms4096M -Dfml.readTimeout=120 -jar forge-1.16.5-36.2.22.jar nogui pause
I've even put the Java console for my local game on high priority in Task Manager.
Heck, even made sure both the server and my local computer are using the same version of Java.
I've seen in other forums that the readTimeout argument still works, but it doesn't seem to do anything for me. What else can I do?
