COD1 server keeps crashing

[JJFS]

We have a COD rifle and harbor only server running but it keeps crashing, in tcadmin it says it's still running and that shows also in task manager but the server shows offline in the cod server list.

This is not just since we have tcadmin, also had it before but curious if people know a solution.

We already patched the server to stop the msgboom script so that's not the issue.

And we use AWE 2.12, also the logfile doesn't show anything weird.

In the console type "serverinfo" and then "status" both without the quotes. I bet it says "server not running".

 

If thats the case check your mods as most likely they will be the issue.

You are running what? AWE, Rifles only both mods i believe.

 

 

TCadmin only see's the active executable running which when these gasmes lock still stay active.

The best way to troubleshoot is make sure the service has "Interact with desktop" enabled, and then when the server crashes don't restart it, but login as console so you can see the actual game console.

 

The following troubleshooter has info on how to login as console.

Ok will try that when the server is empty.

Shouldn't be long if you say it keeps crashing. LOL Sorry, couldn't resist.

[ECF]

No, it should be right after the server crashes when you login so you can see the error message, not while the server is empty.

[HIS-MOTHER]

Also you can set it to log in the cod.cfg . It will save all console text to a log file so you can review it.

 

Should save as console.log I beleive.

[ECF]

set g_log "<logname>.log"

Hehe funny, well the one day it crashes 3 times and then it's online 3 days without problems.

[JJFS]

No, it should be right after the server crashes when you login so you can see the error message, not while the server is empty.

 

If I want to make it "Interact with desktop" then I have to restart the server so that's why...

It logs but doesn't show anything weird.

=============================== CVAR DUMP ========================================

 

Then you get a huge list of server settings etc and the last log lines are:

 

ui_mousePitch "0"

ui_sd_roundlimit "10"

ui_sd_scorelimit "10"

ui_sd_timelimit "0"

ui_timeoutBank "180000"

ui_timeoutLength "90000"

ui_timeoutRecovery "10000"

[JJFS]

Think it has to do with AWE 2.12, when starting the server manually it shows all auto messages as UNLOCALIZED(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) but when you start the server with a gamepanel so as service you wont get to see this messages so it seems to be good but it aint.

Now I fixed this AWE thing so that it never comes up with the error UNLOCALIZED and I think/hope this solved the problem, time will tell.

[JJFS]

Seems to be a buffer overrun as you can see in the attachment.

So I ran this again, did it before if I remember good but it changed something by the game_mp_x86.dll, the cod exe was good already it seems.

[Todd Holley]

Yes. That patch is making my cod servers very unstable..

[24play1]

spitfire

 

would you like to try a different GSP's files?

[Todd Holley]

YES. I need call of duty files. All game servers are screwed. And rsandomly restarting etc... It has to be cod... I have cd keys.

[24play1]

as its 1.3 *mentioned in a previous post*

 

will check out if we still have 1.3 as we do 1.4 mainly

[JJFS]

So is this patch making things even worse?

[Todd Holley]

If you could send me vboth it would be appreciated. I owe you..

[JJFS]

You also have good ones for 1.51 then?

[Todd Holley]

Still buffer overrun with the patch, anyone know a solution for this?

[HIS-MOTHER]

Get your patch from somewhere else? maybe you have a bad patch.exe

 

1.51 or 1.51b try the b I know its out there somewhere

1.51 b works flawlessly. I used luigi's patch on version 1.3. With horrid results.
