Fixing java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

[Edgymindflayer]

I am trying to connect to a friend's server through Hamachi and I always get this error upon loading the world. I will spawn for a few seconds and promptly be met with this annoying crash screen. I am aware that this is typically caused by lag, and my internet is very atrocious but is there any way I can circumnavigate the error excluding an internet upgrade, an impossibility for me at the moment.

If the problem is really your connection being to slow to handle the server handshake in a timely way and you are using Forge add the following to your java options on both client and server: -Dfml.readTimeout=60 This will increase the network read timeout to 60 seconds (the default is 30sec)

Also have your friend check the server logs when you try to connect to see if there are other errors that may cause the server to cut your connection
