Game server console (RDP) help!

[peace]

Hello, guys.

 

I have few CS:S server are being crashed with srcds.exe error. The only way to see problem is console on RDP. But after connect console with error immediately disappeared and i cant see last console lines. The question is how to make console and error pop-up stay on screen after RDP connect so i can see what is in console?

 

And second. What should i set in service settings to server not being restart on not responding.

 

Thank you.

use ur mdmp files for crash debugging.

 

never tried but i assume you can log the whole console to a file using a bat like

 

srcds.exe +yourcommandline >> log.txt

What OS are you running, and if it's a server edition check your event logs and post the error, if it says faulting XXXXXXX or something make sure srcds.exe is not set anymore than above normal priority. If that does not work I have a few more tricks up my sleeve.

 

Good Luck

The events are definately logged to your eventviewer... Just view them there, or run the server via the command prompt, and watch it live.

Thanks for your replies.

 

We are running new DP Xeon server with 12Gb RAM. The max load is about 20-25% with ~35-40 (about 500 slots) servers installed and 200+ players online.

 

So there are 30 CS 1.6 servers running and 6-7 CS:S and few COD4 servers.

 

Most servers works fine. But some of CS:S servers are getting down with pop-up error:

Application popup: srcds.exe - Application Error : The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x133045c6.

 

I cant monitor console live cause crashes happen 1-3 times per day. So the only way to see what's going wrong is to check last console lines. But it disappeared when i just log in.

 

srcds.exe +yourcommandline >> log.txt Doesnt work. It opens up 2 consoles: 1 SRCDS and second just bat cmd...

 

Now priority. If there is only 20-30% CPU load should priority be above normal for CSS or it usefull only when load is more high?

 

I'll set above normal priority and see for results.

does it create a mdmp file? if so you can see what is causing the problem by using win dbg

[peace]

Yes. It generates mdmp files.

 

Server OS is WS 2003. I installed Win DBG on my home PC with XP OS. Downloaded Symbols WS 2003 x86 and WS 2003 x64 but still i am getting this:

Goran, do you have positive experience with Win DBG and mdmp game files?

[dimitrifrom31]

Seems the problem in "Unable to load image C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll" so the mdmp cant be fully opened =/

[Goran]

did you try to run : !analyze -v or !analyze -show

 

it should return some results.

 

I did mdmp debugging few days ago and it worked ok for me, showed to me that there were some problems with eventscripts.

[dimitrifrom31]

weird thing, i dont gotsymbols and so i have those errors but still my logs ar much bigger

 

Is ur server running anything potentially unstable (like zombiemod) or even cracked dll if you allowed them?

 

Also post ur zipped mdmp just to make sure

[peace]

It works, thanks. But till some misses with symbols =/.

 

Debug points to kernel32.dll and some mentions about mani_admin_plugin.

 

Seems i have to find out what all parameters mean .

debug.txt

install servsecurity if not already done and make sure plugins are up to date, specially mani.
