Dedicated Server Crash - Hardware Prob?

Recommended Posts

I am experiencing regular crashing with new PC, especially with a certain friend playing, and about 1-2 hours into long RTS mission such as mfcti or crcti...makes me think of memory...do anyone know enough to say if this is a hardware issue or not?

Server is a

Celeron 2.8

224MB RAM

WinXP

From Flashpoint.rpt

Can't you run task manager in background and check the memory consumption over time?

And how is the swap space set up? Do you have enough of it? Our server seldom/never uses more than 400mb of memory for the ofp processes, even when running the same mission for a long time or using lots of addons.

Well I have tried running cti missions and leaving the AI to it, and unused RAM goes fairly low, but even though I did this many times it only seems to crash when trying to actually play...and having to do that with more people on there only to crash it in some hours is no fun at all...

Page file size is 336mb

I was expecting it to fail more graciously when running out of memory - I mean at least report why it fails...could it be as simple as that, increase swap file? Or get more RAM?

I still think it may have something to do with "virtual memory" or something. Try setting the pagefile larger. Even if it is not used. Windows has some weird habits regarding paging and memory.
