Random Server Crashes..

[pooty]

I should add I probably won't get to it until the weekend...

I removed the UTStats stuff from the server, since the stats DB is broken, so we don't need it until that's fixed.

CEONSS is running 1.34, we are running 1.37 UTComp. I don't think there's anything there that would cause a crash, esp since there's no enhanced netcode. Any other changes from 1.34 to 1.37 that might cause a crash?

Next Step is to either remove EvenMatchOmni or UTComp and test for crashes.
Snarf, do you know if we reverted to EvenMatchV2b2 it will mess up the stats? I know the KnownPlayers won't work and that's fine...

The differences between 1.34 and 1.37 are pretty minor, mostly scoreboard changes. I added the silent admin thing to change what is drawn on scoreboard. I made spectators load their config like regular players do so the scoreboard would be fixed (use regular scoreboard for spectators). 1.37 we made the pawn collision copy history length configurable. that shouldnt' cause crashes though.

I'm not sure if using the old EvenMatch will mess up the stats. Custom scoring won't work though, so no best 2 out of 3 anymore. A win in regulation time will be 2 points.

Is it still crashing?!

Is it still crashing?!

We had two crashes last night, and I didn't play very long. Enyo mentioned we were seeing some crashes still. I know the night after the last evenmatch change it ran pretty good like 8 matches in row no crash.

Might be easiest if it still crashes tonight, I'll just remove EvenMatch entirely less chance of corrupting the Balancing stats...

Tonight.. no crashes from 8pm to midnight (can't believe I played that long! )

EvenMatchOmni still on, UTComp on (no netcode though). UTStats is off...which does put load on the server...it has its own mutator to track scoring.

Also I think I reordered the Mutators on the Start Command line to

Code: Select all

UAdminModV095b.UAdminMod,UTCompOmni.MutUTComp,EvenMatchOmni.MutTeamBalance,CSBadgerFix.MutBadgerFix,CSVehiclePack.MutSnarfVehiclePack,Zound55.Zound

from

Code: Select all

UAdminModV095b.UAdminMod,UTCompOmni.MutUTComp,CSBadgerFix.MutBadgerFix,CSVehiclePack.MutSnarfVehiclePack,EvenMatchOmni.MutTeamBalance,Zound55.Zound

Wonder if that had any effect?

[pooty]

Please post up any crashes. If I am playing I try to grab the server log.

It doesn't look like any crashes last night.

Around 12:49am EST after 2nd round end at homesweethome

Ah ok, after I left, prior to that we seemed to do fine, several big 30+ player matches, Dria, Minus etc. Seems to be better than it was, but not quite perfect.

No error in the log.. it just stop in the middle of EvenMatch output. But we can keep track and if we can narrow down maps then either vehicles/mods we can hopefully find it.

Yep, this is another map that seems to crash quite frequently after one round.

Earlier, around 11pm, there was also a bit of lag that I and several players noticed. Not significant lag, but noticeable where you'd hit someone and there would be delayed reaction of them dying, or vice versa you'd get hit and there would be a delay in showing you were dead.

[pooty]

CPU seems to track per player. And prior to 11pm or so, we seemed to be much less laggy even on Dria-Rando, Minus-Rando-KS, and DJY-Rando. Once we started Nevermore, the lag got worse. I did check the NFO Machine CPU and it was at 42% (that's the entire machine, not just our "game server") which is I think the highest I ever saw -- which leads me to think its the sharing the machine that's hurting more than anything.

I will say it was good to see 30+ players for several hours!

I wonder on HSH if the Mechs cause issues as that one is mech heavy (and pretty spammy to boot)?
