[BUG REPORT] - MP issue - Server hanging (UI goes not responding)

[Johnny_Rico]

Testing out 2.5.1 on our Dedi server

 

Getting some issues with the UI freezing (goes un-responsive)

Players cannot connect and current players connection drops

If you are on the server when this happens everything in the sim stops

 

When one of our admins clicks on the DCS World host window you get this error

2.5.0 Was not doing this, 2.5.1 is doing this a LOT

[BIGNEWY]

if you have the full dcs.log from the crash please attach it and let us know the full system spec of the server

 

thanks

[Johnny_Rico]

It is not a crash as such the UI freezes, when you try and click in the window, you get the above message

 

Log just keeps logging ..... then stops, UI freezes, game over man .... game over

[BIGNEWY]

Understood,

 

we can see from the logs it just stops.

 

it will be difficult to track down a reason for the freeze.

[Johnny_Rico]

I defo get that Bignewy, it is a bollocks to track, but none the less it is defo an issue

 

Last time I reported an issue like this was several months ago in another Beta

I was kinda ignored, one week later you guys moved that patch into release

and on that very same day every server started to crap itself a lot, MP was crippled with that patch for ages

 

See this thread -> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=194085

 

It took ED to host a large MP session with debug running to get to the bottom of it (the great ED MP test of 2017)

[BIGNEWY]

Yes, but that was an issue effecting many servers, the MP test was the only way of getting more data on it. We will do more in the future I am sure.

 

We will continue to listen to feedback and try to track issues down, when you get more logs attach them, we will take a look at them.

Indeed it did effect many servers a week after I reported it .. when they updated to the same build I had been running for a while

 

Just trying to get ahead of this one dude

[BIGNEWY]

we will keep an eye out for it dont worry, I have tried to reproduce but was unable, I fear this can only be done with the same setup and active users.

 

I have made ED aware

[BIGNEWY]

Last line in the log is a group spawn

could it be a scripting issue creating the problem?

Hey Johnny, not sure if this is related to the symptoms I've seen on the AO free flight server, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=207139. Eventually the mission crashes on this server.

No I don't think so Bignewy, the mission had been running for ages (4hrs) spawning stuff without issue

 

Just to be clear, the same mission in 2.5.0 did not have this issue

 

Server gets restarted every 6 hrs

then freeze

 

Seen this happen too on 2.5.x, CPU usage drops to 0 (last core) and that's it. No apparent reason for it from the logs, usually a player spawning is logged as one of the last things happening.
