BL1P 35 Posted July 5, 2011 Hello . I have a small Dedicated Server I run for me n some friends from home. We play only Arma2 atm because of the free to play people who wish to play with us Server stats are seperate pc at my home using my steam account version of arma2 Co amd 2.8 quad / 2 gig ddr3 / sata hdd 500gig / on Win 7 home prem my connection is 40 down 8up we play warfare Be only After 6 hours of game play the server will hang This happens all the time and its always 6hrs You dont loose connection and the server is still running what happens is that the client can see himself moving but only himself and his ai. Every thing else and anyone else on the server has stopped moving for the client. If you disconnect and rejoin the server wont respond and you just wait for the host forever :) only solution I have found is to restart the server. Any help is welcome and appreciated.. Yours Mr. BL1P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hud Dorph 22 Posted July 5, 2011 That is typically what happens when arma2-server have used the recources it can utilize (ram). Im quite sure if you look in your server.rpt file it will at the end contain the out of memory crash. This will happen sooner or later for all complicated missions like warfare/Doomi, but that said maybe you can postpone it by adding some more ram. 2gb are barely enough to run windows. Add another gb of ram or switch to win-64bit and add another 2gb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BL1P 35 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the reply where would I find this server.rpt ?

Hud Dorph 22 Posted July 5, 2011 Yer excactly. The strange thing is that i used to get an out of memory popup in windows, but that dont seem to happen anymore, peps can play for some time as clients dont freeze, and when its been too quite for some time you find out that sever actually stopped responding. If you just close the console window the task (arma2oaserver.exe) keeps running and gamespy still sees the server as running. I think ill try the latest beta and see if its the same.

BL1P 35 Posted July 5, 2011 Yes I noticed that task problem aswell even though Ive closed the server its still running in processes. Im intrested in running the beta to test aswell But.. would that mean my friends would still be able to connect with the Free 2 play ? Or would only people using the beta be able to join ? also Some times as a client i run out of ram Unless i remember to -Flush regularly would it be posible to add a script to the server.cfg that would run a server -flush every 1hr or 30mins ? maybe that would postpone my server crashes ?

Hud Dorph 22 Posted July 5, 2011 Im pretty sure the flush command are refering to video memory, so that wouldnt do any good for a dedicated server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
