Server 3 crash last night

 

Was playing server 3 last night when it crashed.

 

Time: 23:47

Daqing Oilfields had just completed and we were waiting at the countdown screen for Ejod map to commence and server crashed. Server then restarted the Seven Gates map. About 12 people were on the server at the time.

 

Had only been playing Daqing Oilfields so unsure of how long server had been running without a crash.

Thanks Krazzy will have a look and pass it on.

 

the biggest problem with crashes on server 2 and 3 (the original servers) is that there is not crash log created. (window server).

 

This leaves us flying a little blind. But we are slowly narrowing it down.

you guys are doing a fantastic job in identifying the problem. We appreciate your efforts in keeping this mod going in Aust!

Server 1 (the new one) is running on linux. We have had one official crash yesterday but otherwise its seems very stable. Saying that not everything we need is loaded onto the server as yet so fingers crossed.

 

And with the crash comes a great core dump log, we will send it off the the Devs and see if its PR related or not.

Re: Server 3 crash last night

 

OK server 1 - started playing around 7:30am and server was either restarted or crashed just before 10:10am (adelaide time) on sunset city

(approx 8 players) had 1 round on kyongan ni beforehand with no probs.

there were no disconnects leading up to the crash.

 

one strange thing - after crash/restart the server was instantly back up again with amagale re-joining.

The Chinese team had just deployed a rally point.

 

Spoke to amagale and he was disconnected as well but reconnected immediately and came up on the new map waiting for the start. Seems that the crash is very quickly resolved and the new map started.

Server 1 crash - Wednesday night 9/1/08 23:49

 

Al Kafrah Oilfield map had just completed and we were loading Al Basrah. Server connection was lost - tried to reconnect for 15 mins. - no success - error was "failed to connect" (standard message).

Could not see any players being kicked at the time.

Checked the Gametracker link for Server 1 and it showed Al Basrah as the running map and the list of connected players from the last map - I was also still in the list. Next update on Gametracker showed the game as down.

 

Game server ip address was successfully pinged during this time.

It looks like that might be scheduled downtime since it is still down now (11:23pm WST) which would be about 2 hours after it supposedly crashed.

 

Hopefully it's pinpointed soon

 

:elf:

We beleive we may have found the issue or at least an issue.

 

It is do do with punkbuster and a possible memory leak. We have down a few things to see if it will fix it but we need it to be tested.

 

All 3 servers have had this fix applied so if people can all jump into a server and test it. I know its frustration to get disconnected but it is the only way we are going to see if what we have done will fix the issue.

 

so please help us out.

and thanks to those that have come in and reported a crash.

Thanks Darth! Sounds really good... you are doing an awesome job. I sincerely hope to see you in game more often man, I miss seeing a lot of the regulars

1:25 aest...server 1 crashed... according to KrazzyB in chat box...

3:57pm server #1 crashed on Qinling.

 

Possible crash a couple of minutes before on Ejod,

started loading in, came back to comp, "you have lost connection with the server"

Server #1 crashed last night too on Fools Rd, near the end of the round - around 10:50pm.

 

I had to update my PB yesterday, its not something simple a server-side PB update, is it?

sorry forgot to report this, I think it was last night if not it was the night before,

Server #1 - 7:20pm map changed from kasharn to 7 gates and crashed.

Server 2 has just crashed upon loading Al kurfah oilfields 16player this happened at 6:27pm (AEDT) the server was or very nearly full at around 32 players. The map previous was Albasrah 16 player and the Insurgents won with 2 caches left untouched.

Not a report of a server crash, but Al Bas gets quite a bit of lag when you get some decent numbers into the server. Not sure if it was a one off just then but it was getting pretty choppy.

Biggest loser streaming?

 

or is that only when the shows on?

It's 6:30pm...so it wont be streaming.

Server crashed at 6:30pm AEDT, end of round of Al Basrah. Brits had just destroyed the last ammo cache, then the server froze. Players who loaded the next map (Qwai River) were stuck with a black screen and the "spawning in 0 seconds" message. Second time it's crashed on Al Basrah. Not looking good for that map at the moment .

Same thing happened on Server 2 last night, looks like Albasrah is still screwing with the server both 16 & 64.

Just finished a round of Basrah, no crash during or afterward, next map loaded and began before I quit.

 

EDIT: Server 1, 64p version BTW.

About the same as last night when it did stall. Good times..

Thx CW....srry..I needed to get some sleep,so thx for letting us know.

 

(there was 40+ on 7 gates before Al Bas,most musta called it a night cos went down to about 25 on Al Bas.)
