Jacky444 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello, I'm hosting soldier of fortune 2 game servers for 1 year now. And last few days i'm facing crashes i've never seen before. People are complaining that their game servers are crashing randomly. I've checked the logs and found nothing about the crash. I just can see in logs that server started up again but nothing about shutdown or some think as that. Its very weird behovior. I've applied the antiboom crash thingy as well. Please if anyone can help me out with any kind of suggestion, let me know ! Best Regards, Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest louise Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It can be caused by a client upload a bad map or mod, i havent used sof2 for ages has it been updated ? have you mde any server changes ? is it with all your sof2 servers? or the main server? , i would personnly create a test default one see if anything happends then go from there.

Jacky444 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello, its happening to all sof2 game servers ( i think, i'm not 100% sure ) i have a testing game server witch havent crashed yet but like 50% people are reporting crashes and server mods and files are totaly same as on my testing server. They havent uploaded any maps / mods or done any changes exept server.cfg file configuration. its pretty much weird. but i host all game servers on one machine.

SickPuppy Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 We have experienced the same issue with SOF2. Our SOF2 tech is stumped. He has been working on this for weeks with no success. I thought it was just us but now it looks like a wide spread problem. We have tried fresh installs of the game on several different servers in different data centers all keep crashing.

Jacky444 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 so we're not the only ones with that kind of problem. I though i've had some issue with files and reinstalled game few times in few diffrent datacenters as well. Well, May you tell me if you experiance same issues that server crashes in few hours / minutes of working ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 what are the crash messages? memory read errors? I used to work on sof2 modding quite a bit (OSP) .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jointopz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Im not completely sure but the system specs seem a little weak for 23 servers dont you think? I havent had much experience with sof2 so i might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think our problem is TCAdmin related if I run the server from the desktop they will run fine. Starting them through TCAdmin they crash in about 10-15 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky444 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hello, The problem is, I dont have any crash messages logged or anything like it. Windows didnt log any issue eather. In Game logs all i can see is in one line some guy said somthing in next line server already started up. I dont even understand how it's possible game server crashes before it writes a log. Anyway machine can handle about 50 SoF2 game servers without any problems. I've had once before more customers then now and we had no issues. SoF2 takes about 65mb ram and 0-1% usage of cpu per server at 32 players online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Make sure the command line is the same between running it on the desktop vs TCAdmin. Also make sure the server queries after starting it with TCAdmin. If it does not show up in Server Status and Administration it will stop the server eventually.

Jacky444 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 The problem is, Command line is 100% fine. I've used it before and its same as always. "+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip %server_ip% +set net_port %server_port% +exec server.cfg" Server shows up working fine in query page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
