Callvote shuffle or !shuffle crashes the server

[Dzikus]

I have a huge problem on my server. Everytime someone calls a vote for shuffle with no restart and it passes, server crashes and there is a need of doing a server restart. Same thing happens when any of the admins uses !shuffle command (only exception is when it's made at the end of the map). We have temporary fixed this issue by removing shufflenorestart, normal shuffle with restart works fine, also our admins were informed not to do !shuffle while map is running. 

As I mentioned - this is just a temp fix. I've found some info on the internet, that it's possibly fault of the binaries (and their versions) so at this moment I'm considering switching from ET 3.00 to ET Legacy 2.72. 

Any help you can give will be appreciated. Here you can see the actual config:

Can you please do this:

 

Upload console logs somewhere and submit the link using contact us? 

 

http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/index.php?app=contactus&module=contato&section=form&id=1

 

Possible to give your server access to silencer? He can easily debug it for you once he is free.

 

I am not able to re-create your issue. Just did !shuffle on my server and it didn't crash at all.

[TheSilencerPL]

I would rather consider this as an ET 3.00 issue.

@Hellreturn, what are you running on that server, I guess not ET 3.00?

I admire your nobel idea but our server is too popular to make such a security risk.
Don't get me wrong of course... imho this is a way too far request. It would be easier to share most of the configs to recreate the scenario.
Changing subject to logs - I'll upload them soon. There is nothing special in them, trust me, I've already checked.

I think the same. Found some old thread about identical issue and changing binaries fixed this problem.
If it's really because of ET 3.00 I need a suggestion about binaries replacement.

First of all - our server is pretty old and we don't wanna lose players by a mistake. At this time like I've mentioned before, the server runs on ET 3.00 which makes possible to connect players with ET 2.55 and 2.60 (not only 2.60b).
Practically if I upgrade to ET:Legacy 2.72 or ET 2.60b it will probably fix the issue but many of our veteran players will be kicked because of different version, and trust me - many of them will have a problem with upgrading ET version, even when It's so simple that even a monkey can do it...

The question is: Which version of ET binaries will be optimal for me (not buggy 3.00 but also giving possibility for players with older versions like 2.55/2.60 to connect without a problem) ? Any ideas?

It has ET 3.00. Majority of clan run ET 3.0. If !shuffle was an issue then we would have seen reports by now.

Don't get me wrong but your scenario is not reproducible with configs only. You already had posted the config which you use and even with that config while using ET 3.00 my server doesn't crash.

 

For update: Just ask your regulars to remove old installation and install this one:

 

http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/files/file/34-enemy-territory-full-version-windows/

 

It's directly on 2.6b.  No need for patches. Now if they can install 2.55 then can install 2.6b directly.

Well, I see your point. However there is another solution for this - a test server based on exact configs I use on the main server.

 

Let's face the facts.... some of our regulars were never seen to use chat or voicechat, colored nicks etc. so it will be a major problem to force them to update to 2.60b.... In my opinion we'll lose them while making such a changes.

 

Is there any way to make it more simple? Some kind of way around like ingame download. I'd like to make a change which fixes the problem and is also unnoticable by players.

I wouldn't recommend ET: Legacy just now because it still has a critical unresolved bug: http://dev.etlegacy.com/issues/746

 

BTW, it shouldn't be difficult to make ET:L 2.55+ compatible, just need to remove a few lines in the code and recompile.

Edited January 18, 2015 by Dragonji

[Dragonji]

The issue of ET:L has been fixed a few days ago. I personally run it on my own server with no problems now. It is way better than ET 3.00, just have a look here. It doesn't accept 2.55 clients by default but it is not a big problem to make it support multiprotocol as it is an open source project.

 

I used ET 3.00 for a while too, but it was causing inexplicable crashes. ET:L is surely free of bugs ET 3.00 has.
