Dan M Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well one of our servers, we set it to 64 slots, became popular almost instantly. We are having issues allowing more than 32 players on the server, the connection seems to lock up and the server disconnects and requires a reboot. This is apparently a known issue, has anybody found a workaround for this yet? Cheers guys, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddanny Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's the readme file it's says you cannot host more than 32 users, maybe this time it's true ? and be careful, actual maps are very little ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Try 44 max slots. Anything over that becomes unstable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RackGaming Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey Guys, I have a similar issue, I hosted a 50 slot server. It capped out 50/50 and then 1 hour later it crashed, I needed to hit restart on TCA for it to come back online. I then switched it to 32 slots. Capped out again 32/32 and again 40 min this time it crashed. Seems everytime there server caps out it crashes. Can anyone shed some light on what needs to be done? or is it one of them (report to devs) to fix before uk release? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leetservers Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 its entity errors, they will fix it on zero day patch, we hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Got a crash tonight with the entity issue. Other than that it has been running solid since yesterday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hint... set in the command-line the +set gui maxclients to 64 so it unlocks 64 slots but set the server.cfg to under that #........ so command-line allows up to 64 but server runs at under 64.

RackGaming Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It seems that all our game servers have crashed today (COD5WAW) and when we do the usual restart none of the game servers respond. I have also noticed that the server list has lowed to 1k servers (1/2) of what it was last night. So it seems we are not the only ones having this issue. However my next question would then be how in the world are 1K servers still up? We have also tried installing COD5 servers on multiple box's today, When we start the servers they don't appear to go live however the process;s list shows the instance's. [HM] We did what you said in advance of you saying it last night. 64slots but server.cfg stated 32 and still crashed. sorry bud but that don't work.

JasonF Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have had 2 clients submit tickets to TCadmin saying that COD : WaW did not work. The issue was when you run the game server with interact with desktop enabled, it would throw a safe mode error. After closing the error the game server started fine. j Anyone experiencing issues needs to do this to make sure this is not their problem.

Jason, The above happens even if you dont interact with desktop. I think Luis might have to look into this. -bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason, TCADMIN disables the desktop error of safemod does it not? I know it does for alll other cod titles and we do not see this error interacting W/desktop. 40+ servers up and running stable.

JasonF Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 It does not for this game. We had 2 clients that could not get it working. I ran fine on the desktop and the servers queried. When I started it with TCAdmin, with interact with desktop enabled, it through the old "The game server did not close down properly. Do you want to run it in safe mode" After hitting no they then worked fine. Just telling people that can not get TCAdmin to work to set it to interact with desktop and close the error then it should work. All of the COD titles have done this and Luis had to make changes to remove it. I am sure he will have to do the same for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Funny.. I run them on desktop since its a beta and want to see the console. No issues at all, no safemode error crap. Gamecompatability is set to COD of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackGaming Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 That worked for us RackGaming, not sure.. maybe you are having a few issues your end. What we done: +set gui maxclients to 64 so it unlocks 64 slots but set the server.cfg to only allow 50 slots. So far I've had to reset the server multiple times over the last 3 days due to crashes. We are on 24/7 S&D (All Maps) and round limits set to 10 with Half Time set to 5. Everything is perfect until it goes 50/50 (becomes highest populated server in the UK) and then BOOM CRASH & BURN In fact as I write this the server just capped out and it crashed moments later. As I said before, It don't work. Maybe if you set it to 20 slots it might stay stable but wired thing is I have seen 42 slot servers on list and its full and it never crashes so its very wired.
