Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello everyone! I am having some issue with server crashing, while running it, it works perfectly but then sometimes during random maps just shut it down and i get "Server disconnect for unknown reason" msg at console, it keep happening since beginning and im curious what could cause this crash? I am running last mod 0.5.2 and at the moment don't have omni bots installed. I don't know exactly which logs re to be posted for crash, im posting the ones from "server.log", if they aint correct one, please point me out which ones should i copy. 0:41 === ShutdownGame ------------------------------------------- 0:41 *=====CLOSING DATABASE 0:41 Buffers cleaned. 0:41 Big Memory Cache cleaned. 0:41 *=====DATABASE IS CLOSED 0:41 ShutdownGame: done. Closing log. 0:41 ------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for ur time, Aniky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 You should have the line "-8<------- Crash Information ------->8-" in the log. Server.log also, but in the console log as well. If there indeed is a crash with silEnT or Omni-bot, the crash information is always printed into the log. If the crash happens with the ET engine, i.e. etded.x86/etded.exe, the crash information is not printed. However, in such a case the shutdown game is also likely not done. Please try to find the crash report from the logs. Couple admins have reported similar issue now without actual crash. On the otherhand, lots of servers run it without crashing at all. Even these unexpected shutdowns. To find anything common with these cases, could you post the information of the gametype you are using, the ET server engine you are using, do you use game server hosting or your own server and any possible external management tools you might be using.

Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thank you for ur fast reply! I have searched for the crash information and i couldn't find any neither at server.log or console logs. Information about server: We are running vote map, meaning g_gametype 6, as for et server engine not sure what u are thinking, maybe this ( ET 3.00 - TB 0.6.6 linux-i386 ) ? We re having server hosted at YCN gaming, and didnt used anything else apart from Filezilla to upload maps and rest of stuffs on ftp.

Management TheSilencerPL Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 The behavior observed in the post is in response to GAME_SHUTDOWN event sent from the engine, in your case ET 3.00.Try changing to the original server and check whether the bug still occurs.

Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok, server is set on 2.6b, will pay close attention to see if the server still crashes afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 One thing that came to my mind is that if your server com_hunkMegs is not high enough. I remember I once had similar problems on a test server with bigger maps. The issue was that the installation had loads of unofficial files (maps etc.) and the standard com_hunkMegs seemed to run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok, i had 2.6b installed and the server crashed at map "supply", at the end of warmup, when it was about to start the game, server shutdown and restarted. As i checked on the server with rcon, com_hunkmegs is set as deafult, meaning 56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 Try increasing the hunkmegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok i have setted on 256 via serv cfg, when i write at console with rcon for com_hunkmegs i get : "com_hunkmegs" is:"56" default:"56"latched: "256" Does that mean it changed the value?

Management gaoesa Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 Nope. It means that the change takes effect after restart. If you have access to the command line you should put it there. This way it ensures the setting always. The latched cvars are values that cannot be changed in mid game. Memory allocations are one of those. The memory is allocated at server start so it means that a new start is rewuired for the new memory allocation to happen with the updated value. EDIT:I did quick test with local windows server I use for testing. Based on that, map change is not enough for the value to change. But after closing and restarting, the change did take effect. So if your command line is not enforcing certain hunkmegs values, plain restart should be enough for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok server is set to 256 hunkmegs, with help of YCN admins to set it at command line, i will report if the server keep crashing afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well server seems to be crashing again, this time on delivery at beginning of the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management TheSilencerPL Posted August 15, 2012 Management Share Posted August 15, 2012 Let's stop calling it "crashing". It's not crashing, it's simply closing due to something.Do you have some additions installed as well, like enhanced mod or something?

Petbark Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Do you have any custom files installed for sound or menus? If so remove them and try. Basicly get back to as clean silent install as possible. Try also running the standard rotation without map voting in case you have not fully set map voting right.

Only running custum sound files for spree and hitboxes, i will remove them for a period of time to see if it effects anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) As for now, the server has been running smooth, meaning that it wasn't shutting down for the following 3h, which before would shut down already. Now the new 2 problems occurs, the first one is about Voting, as for menu at voting, meaning that players are able to vote for next map, shuffle and rest of votes, even tho my "g_voting" is 0, meaning that it should disable the votes at first place if i got all this correct. The second issue is the end vote for new map, it appears that i am not able to vote nor write at the chat, but whats odd is that sometimes when i test, the first vote for "3" points will not show sometimes, but the second vote for "2" points will show on the map i choose and sometimes it will only show for the third vote for "1" point while first and second wont. Basically instead of being able to vote 3 votes for 3 maps, i am only able to vote 1 vote for one map and that goes randomly, like i stated above, ones i can vote for 3 points, then other time for 2 and 1. The settings for map voting are the following: g_mapVoteFlags 13g_maxMapsVotedFor 30g_minMapAge 3g_resetXPMapCount 0 I hope the information helps and if there's anything else that i need to provide, please let me know what.

Management gaoesa Posted August 16, 2012 Management Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sounds very much like something flood protect could cause. Try disabling sv_floodprotect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management TheSilencerPL Posted August 16, 2012 Management Share Posted August 16, 2012 What's the server IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) What's the server IP? This is the server IP, i have also added u on msn, for easier conversation if u intend to talk about it.46.4.23.87:27190 Sounds very much like something flood protect could cause. Try disabling sv_floodprotect. Yes that was it, the floodprotect was the cause of the error at voting maps, do u have any clue what could cause the problem with normal vote even tho the g_voting is disabled?

Management gaoesa Posted August 16, 2012 Management Share Posted August 16, 2012 Are you using a clean ET client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Are you using a clean ET client? What u mean with that? apart from custum soundpacks, theres nothing installed, server at the moment on 2.6b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
