Windows users timeout to minecraft server, but Linux users don't.

Hey all, I got a really weird issue with 1.18.2 Deceased Craft server hosted on a Hetzner VPS, ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Basically, all linux users of Minecraft can connect to, play, move around etc just fine. All windows clients however can connect to the server, but cant really move around, chunks dont load well and inventories dont really work. When I review the java console, i get this error spammed in the console of the server, attached as an image:
io.netty.channel.StacklessClosedChannelException: null
at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel.close(ChannelPromise)(Unknown Source) ~[netty-all-4.1.68.Final.jar%2330!/:4.1.68.Final] {}

Netty Epoll Server IO #5/WARN

io.netty.channel.StacklessClosedChannelException
Network error for:packet_handler

This has only recently become a problem, these same users were successfully playing on the server for weeks prior. No changes that I can see šŸ˜­

TCP segmentation offloading was broken on the host that my VPS was on, to fix i was advised to run: ethtool -K eth0 tso off My hosting provider will then migrate me off this host, allowing me to re-enable it (on instead of off at the end there) !solved
