Connection issues with Synergy 1.8.1

Hey all, I've had this problem with previous versions (1.7.6 is what I Just upgraded from) and unfortunately it seems to be even worse thus far. Synergy will be working fine and then suddenly the server will start throwing these messages: [2016-07-14T14:30:23] NOTE: disconnecting client "MLJ3AGF6T6" [2016-07-14T14:30:23] WARNING: a client with

over again even though the client application is stopped which doesn't make sense to me. The only thing I can do to get the connection back is kill the server and restart but even then sometimes it will immediately say the client is already connected when that's simply not possible. Also, sometimes instead of disconnecting immediately, while it's looping through these warnings, it will allow the input to pass through between the computers but it will be spotty (work for 1 second or so) and then continue and the 'system bar' icon no longer shows the check mark to indicate the connection is established and then synergyc will shoot up to like 40% CPU usage (up from usual 2-4%). This is on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server and a Mac OSX 10.11.5 Client. Any ideas guys? Anymore info I can provide? Thanks, -Tyler

For what it's worth - it's much better today (no issues thus far) so I'll give it some more time and update this ticket as needed. Maybe some initial upgrade quirks? -Tyler

connected client with our name [2016-08-08T11:58:21] DEBUG: retry in 1 seconds Is there any way I can force it to punt the existing client and take control of the connection? I end up in this weird split state where I have to restart the server and client to reestaslish the connection. The odd part is that when it's in the split brain kind of state, synergy on the client thinks the connection has dropped but it's actually in/out (intermittent) - basically adds like a 500 ms delay to the input so it still works but it's frustrating to use and doesn't work as normal. Thanks, -Tyler

I'm seeing the same issue on 1.8.2. Windows 10 1511 Server Mac OS 10.11.6 Client If I close the lid of my MacBook Air, it shows a screen resize then Synergy will say that there is already the host that is connected.

I was also getting exactly the same [code]ERROR: server already has a connected client with name "The-MacBook-Pro.local"[/code] message. Running 1.8.2 on MacOS 10.11.6 on both server and client. I then realised that in the preferences, the screen name was set the same for both instances. Silly mistake, but it's now working fine.

My screen names have never been the same so unfortunately, this is not the problem. I am happy to report, however, that the issue is happening much,much less frequently!

 

I can now at least go multiple days without having to restart either the client or server which is good. Feel like Synergy is back to being called a Productive app again!
