ESF 1.2 1 servers crashing ALOT?

[Chang Wufei]

is it me or are the servers now crashing a little too often....now idk if its the servers themselves or 1.2 1 but it didnt happen as often with 1.2...and if it is 1.2 1 is there some way to fix it?

 

[Omni]

I would like to know why this happens also.

All i seen is they have no idea why this happens but before this never happend, but the guys who made the patch have no idea.

So its not looking good.....

 

[Chang Wufei]

well...i found out why my clan server keeps crashing...its because its linux...is there anyway that i can get a fix for linux or something...because i heard theres a fix for windows but not linux...=\

 

[MikeG]

i cant pin down why the server is crashing... all i can think of at this time is that its a bug in 1.2.1 sice more ppl than just us r having it... maybe we could get a response from the team on this?

 

[RoshkoMasta]

I think it has something to do with the bots being a part of the defualt dll

if its the bots that causing the problem then it cant be seperated from the hl.dll esf uses till the team releases 2 dlls for that
1 for bots and another one for normal playing without bots, aka multiplayer

but its just an assumption

It might be that...My server just went up. Zab joined. 3 mins later it crashes, wtf? Somethings wrong with the beams/ki blast.

We're currently looking into the crashing problems. It's pretty difficult to track down since it's randomly crashing, but harSens figured out it runs a lot better once he removed the bot code. Later he also said that my melee code might be causing the crashes as well, so I'll have to look into it once my computer is back online (my final parts are comming in later today). Kinda weird since i did nominal changes to the melee system (1.2 to 1.2.1), but we'll see...

 

[evilpenquin]

its the ki blast.

Me and Gohan were 1 v 1 for 5 mins in, melee melee ki blast, server crash. so we come back in, go no ki blast, server never crashed.

 

[WhyNot]

it often crashes after someone used ki blast or killed someone with it *justwantedtosaythat*

 

[Fire Phoenix]

a lot of times when im in a server it crashes when im flying upward. (just pressing the space bar) or right when im about to hit someone with melee. Basic usually.

 

[Stella]

I have been testin my server alot and i have found turning the melee attack right off will keep the server up alot longer then with it on try it your selfs bit crap without melee thow!

 

[MikeG]

these r the 2 files that i got from my debug that seem to be *****ing up
hlds.737.pid
hlds.17607.pid

 

[guillom]

so i just finish a play on a server (called esf @nice) and he don't crash
there were 17ppl (i was with dj-ready and omni)
btw all server which crash turn during 5minutes, sometimes less 1
hope you ll find something

 

[MikeG]

was it a windows or linux server...

 

[guillom]

can't tell yu but the prob is on dedicated
my comp run with XP and my dedicated crash like all the server where i played :S

 

[Stella]

ive just been on that nice @ esf server and it crashed whitin 10 mins so i dont think they have found the reason and how do you put the dragonballs on games? :S am lost?

 

[MikeG]

ive reverted the EoP server back to 1.2 since its taking them a long time to fix it...

 

[guillom]

ok i saw a new prob on harsens' server where the melee is disable for the test
a player beam another one with a kame and the kame was stucked with the guy
the kame's victim could move lol

and when other ppl come near the victim the kame "jump" on other ppl
i make screens and they are in the good order and its the same beam
the player must leave
