More server crashes

[ENO]

See if this helps.

 

This links to a broad history of zip files including crash logs, log files and server logs- by date.

Most recently a crash despite being updated and without servman running-

Updated the folder with more crash logs / server side and client side.

Ive been looking at your logs a bit.

 

Some logs from a couple of days ago could have elements that already got a fix or treatment. The older they are the more useless they get in terms of quickfixing a problem.

 

I see the same things in some logs where someone makes the server crash on purpose by known or still unknown critical bugs that causes the c000005 hardwarecrash. Nothing special in logs but still the crash.

 

In some other logs seem things broken in the mission itself. I found myself that stuff doesnt always save in the missionfiles correctly. Specialy when they are older missionfiles.

Weird loooooooong logs, a damaged element buildup and eventualy poooooof.

Experimental SLmod missionscripting here and there perhaps?

 

Then in another log i see all clients receiving a pingtimeoutkick and the server still running. Somewhere a hardware hickup around the connection of the server, router or the integity of the connection itself. Depends also if your server is a seperate machine or the same as your client. Do you use a LAN cable or are you on wireless?

 

Its seems to be a bit of everything tbh.

I'd like to learn more about how people force the server crash- unless you mean with the ground ladder thing.

 

No slmod at all- until recently with the 4.2 server admin functions... Until now it's all been mission editor stuff. Server is a separate machine- two different machines actually... Depends on if I'm home or not but I don't fly on the server machine (while its a server).

 

C0ff said something about prolonging the timeout somehow in a config menu but I haven't been able to find it. Or I'm looking at it and not seeing it... Any idea about that? I'm seeing longer load times because of that 150000 preload and I think part of the connection errors is because of this waiting period being too short.

 

We're seeing similar crashes on some bone stock clients with no overclocking. I've drilled my overclock with linX and prime95... And my memory is at stock speed.

Do have a seperate machine for your DCS server or is it the same as your gameclient?

 

I can tell you 1 trick that gives you immidiatly the most common crash you see atm, although im not sure if this is wise. people that have pleasure in harming others read it too.

IM if you can- it will help me justify either locking the server until the exploit is corrected. Go check out my thread in simHQ if you need a reference check. I'm quite certain my intentions are clearly for the better.
