Re: [hlds] Two Issues: Odd Crash at Mapchange? And, is it OK to run SRCDS on Win 2003 x64?

I had one for 2 minutes (on my fastest raid 1 server no less haha). So after a while of being completely confused as to why the hell my servers are randomly "crashing" whitout any dumps so eventually I increased my monitor script to wait for 2 whole minutes before killing the process and re-launchi

I use serverdoc myself, and it does support queries to the server. I've also heard that Firedaemon works too, but I haven't tried it myself. On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 5:04 AM, Jeff Sugar wrote: > Upon finally going to change it (my server only just now emptied out), I > found that the 30s I saw wa

Upon finally going to change it (my server only just now emptied out), I found that the 30s I saw was actually the startup time field. The others are "pause" (time to wait between checking, default 3s) and "timeout" (time to wait for a reply, default 1s). Since I don't think timeout should probably

just wanted to also say that there are some map timeouts that are greater then 60s. I think the longest i have seen was 90s with around avg of ~45-50secs. 60s should do you could, but to be more on the safe side maybe 120s for the mean time to just gather if its a crash or the timeout bug. shou

Ahh...Interesting idea! My program that checks the servers does indeed do server queries (usually a good thing) and reboots them after about 30s (also usually a good thing). However, considering the lockups sometimes take >30s, I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. I'll continue to monitor for

Ah..kinda skimmed it. Might be related to the mapchange lockup (as the server doesn't respond to queries during this time)...whatever program you're using to monitor the server...does it also check for server queries? This would be why you get a "crash" then. On Sat, Jan 3, 2009 at 11:58 PM, Jeff

1.) No problem here. 2.) Does it actually -crash- or does it just go into the "auto-disconnect" and then resume properly after all players have timed out? If it's the second it's a known issue with the lock ups on map change. It's something everyone is getting...and has been getting...for a long t

Issue 1: Is it OK to run SRCDS on Win 2003 x64? We're currently running our varoius SRCDS-based servers on win 2003 32-bit. We're thinking of moving over to 64-bit for various reasons, including taking advantage of all our memory. Before we do so, however, we wanted to make sure there aren't any ou
