Our ET-Server crashed every ~30 hours (!)

(newbroker) #1

Hey ET-Admins,

we have a real problem :cry: Our server crashed all ~30 hours.
We are running a 20 player slot server with 4 private slots.
ET1.02 Prot81 with ETPro 2.05, and many custom maps. (NO BETA MAPS)

Mid game, every ~30 hours the ET process just stop/crash without any
comment in etserver.log or console.log

We have no more ideas to find out why our server crashed. Our present
solutioin is a daemon who checks, if et.x86 is running :idea:

We have no, not needed SETS in our server.cfg or something spezial.
Just an own campaign file and some more custom maps. (5 * .pk3)

If someone has an idea, please post it here or send an e-mail to: admins@compkal.net

Thanx a lotā€¦bye Jens

When you make available an own privat GameServer,
i think the problem come from your INet-Hoster, which disconnect automatically all 30 hours.
If you have a hosted GameServer then ask the Hoster

PS: I think all 30 h is not so a bad thing!

EDIT in german:
Sehe erst jetzt das Du ja auch aus Deutschland kommst,
warum wendest Du Dich mit solchen Fragen an das SD-Forum!?
Gibt genƃĀ¼gend deutschsprachige Wolfenstein-Foren wo Dir sicher gerne geholfen wird.
Ach Shit, sehe jetzt bist von den Compkal-Jungsā€¦die sollten ja eigentlich wissen was Sache ist, scheint also dann doch ein ernsteres Problem zu sein.

Sounds like the same problem I have. I run a 20+6 slot etpro public server that crashes about 2 times a week without any logmessage.

I talked to bani about it a month ago and we did some debugging. This is what he said

<[av]bani> you still have the corefile on it?
<Vio> the corefile is still there
<[av]bani> i found the bug, and it looks like stock etmain bug
<Vio> ok
<Vio> never had any crashes with etmain tho
<[av]bani> it IS a stock etmain bug
<Vio> iā€™ll take your word for it :slight_smile:
<[av]bani> i know exactly what its doing wrong
<Vio> anything you can fix ?
<[av]bani> yes
<Vio> whatā€™s the problem ?
<[av]bani> if someone disconnects and reconnects quickly
<[av]bani> it causes some problems
<Vio> k
<[av]bani> its some code they added in et1.02 that they ported from q3f

Donā€™t know if heā€™s made a fix tho.

@HerrK: Nice to see that you read this forum also. But iā€™m a little bit surprised that you donā€™t know who i am :bash:
ā€¦and :moo: itā€™s not an ISP problem :cool: . I donā€™t wrote that we have an disconnect, i wrote that our ET server service crashed. And yes, normaly we know what to do, because we have the best ā€œgermanā€ technical forum and know how in our community :smiley:
Remember my great article about ā€˜AntiLagā€™ function (RtCW time).

@Vio: Thanx for your answer. Does it mean, that Bani still try to fix this bug ? Hmmm today i will start another server where the XP saver function is offline. Another ET Admin has send me this tip !?

Bye NB
