Thread: CRASH REPORTS

If you feel the server is crashing (not your game, but our server), and can document what you think caused it, or could at least EXPLAIN what was happening when it crashed........put it here.

1. map
2. # of players
3. time of day (CST if possible)
4. admins present (or players you are familiar with, if you don't know admins)
5. what you think did it (specific admin action, specific player activity)
6. time between crashes (if you've seen more than one)

If you can't give good information, then don't post. It doesn't help us to say "I was playing, and then I shot this guy, and then the server crashxzored!!1"

if that's all you got.......keep it to yourself.

both servers restarted to update latest source DS patch

this explains why some users had funny names in their psychostats, and also why the server instances were taking so long to restart themselves. Pretty fast fix by valve, actually, since these issues were caused by the wed/thur patches of last week.

players are connected....servers appear to be running normally.

typical once the server restarts. After the map changes, the ranks will be normalized.

and the statsme mod does NOT control the ranks. that is a mani function.

Server is " SKIPPING ". About 15 people on De Nuke....1148P CST....

server was reloaded at about 9:30-10m with the last update from manimod.

this added powers to the DoD server admins, however requires that we remove the stat files for now, and then reinsert them later (we were using the new Beta verison for DoD, but that version is not getting updated, so we had to revert back to the lower 1.1 series)

we had MAJOR low update per second spikes, down to the 15-20 range....which is unacceptable. not sure if rebooting solved this problem.

DoD server was shut down momentarily. coming back up.

didn't start......trying again. Fucking patches.

Major choke spike around 25-30. About 10 people on dust @ 907P CST

my suspicion, and many forums out there, are putting this up to the latest updates from valve. mani mod, the statsme mod, and matties event scripts........none of these guys have a solution.

In addition, the instances, mods or no mods, have hard times restarting as fast as they used to. That, and frequently, I'm noticing it takes me a LOT longer to join a game, hanging at "retrieving server info" and even "sending client data".
