Hexchat keeps getting disconnected from Gitter.im reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jagdkomando · 2017-01-08 21:05 Hello, I keep scratching my head trying to fix this issue, but have not found a solution so far. Maybe some will be able to help me out. I want to connect my client of choice (Hexchat) to Gitter. I followed the official instructions step by step (https://github.com/gitterHQ/irc-bridge/wiki/hexchat) and got my Gitter token after logging in with my Github credentials here: https://irc.gitter.im/ (there are also instructions how to log in via IRC there) I get logged in properly into Gitter 'main' server, but when I join my channels of choice, I keep getting **disconnected & reconnected every minute** or so, and see no messages. Here's how it looks like - my settings & messages I see after joining a channel: http://imgur.com/a/KwnSz I'll be grateful for any kind of support. Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flamingspinach_ · 2017-01-09 09:28 Do you see this issue on any other networks? Gitter uses some crappy IRC server software they wrote themselves from scratch, which has had a lot of problems in the past. I remember I used to get "invisibly disconnected" all the time, as in I would stop receiving all messages but I'd still show as connected, so the IRC client wouldn't know that it needed to reconnect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jagdkomando · 2017-01-09 09:54 Nope, just on Gitter. I raised the issues with support, but they haven't responded yet. It seems like a lot of people are having issues similar to mine (with Gitter) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- flamingspinach_ · 2017-01-10 19:50 Yeah, definitely sounds like something wrong on their end, not yours. If you're able to show that the problem only occurs in hexchat and not other IRC clients, that information might help the gitter people debug it (if they care enough).
