(ZyD) #1

phase.dk is currently hosting 2 58 player servers with the beta server patch. I can tell all you server admins that it looks good.

it has been running for 11 hours straight with 58 players not a single crash!

ips are
z.sytes.net:27961
z.sytes.net:27960

come play with alot of other players on the phase MEGA WAR servers!

im planning to set up 2 more servers anyone got any ideas what size they should be ?

(DG) #2

several servers are testing now, including

RTCW.co.uk ET Campaign 195.149.21.152:27961 (UK based)

damn thing just wont go down, not once in two days since patched, been running full nonstop since then, and I want to update config… going to have to actually force it to shutdown (when a campaign finishes) oh well such a shame :wink: :smiley:


(ND80) #3

I’m running the patch on 10 servers, so far no problems (although we discovered one bug that we passed onto Splash Damage and Activision.)


(DG) #4

what was it?

nothing to do with shuffleteams by any chance? mine went rather fubar when i tried that, but i presumed it was the config since i hadnt tried it before patch…


(ND80) #5

So far no problems with the shuffle since the full release. I did have lots of problems with shuffling during test, but nothing on that so far.

This was related to changng sv_maxclients during a round or even during a campaign. Every time we tested it, it caused the servers to crash. We were able to duplicate in a test server we set up and passed the logs onto splashdamage.


(DG) #6

oo, what are you using for shuffle in campaign cycle?

set d1 "shuffle_teams ; cmpgn_northafrica ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
set d2 "shuffle_teams ; campaign cmpgn_centraleurope ; set nextcampaign vstr d1"

// server doesn't recognise the campaign command when the gamecode isn't running yet.
set d_initial "set g_gametype 4 ; map oasis ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
vstr d_initial

^ went a bit crazy on my box, continually loading maps. i was thinking of trying either adding in a wait or positioning the shuffle_teams after campaign cmpgn_northafrica, rather than before. either that or seeing what happens when com_watchdog_cmd isnt set.


(ND80) #7

Actually, I’m not shuffling during campaign modes because of the problems I’ve seen with the cfgs.

If I and one of my 13 admins are on, they can /rcon shuffle_teams without any problem.
