Server instability

Recommended Posts

I sent in a few support request and have now finally come up with why our server crashes now and then.

It turns out that the server will run for days as long as none of the RN who admin it actually connect to the server through either VNC or Terminal Services.

I've now tested many such remote sessions.

VNC

Terminal Services with XP (built in Remote Desktop)

Terminal Services with Win NT/2K and Win 2k server

I've found the server crashes some time later after some one has conected, I've even been on hand locally when it crashes, it seems with more test it happens when the CPU usage reaches 100% for a period of time

I can even now replicate the crashes buy using any mission with over 100 AI with in a few minutes to really overload the machine.

We can now by pass the crashes as long as we reboot the server (not the game) remotely as soon as we log off

I've tested this on several Mother boards with Win XP Pro, Win NT, Win 98, Win 98 SE, Win 2k Pro

Clearly OFP server has some issues with these such events.

as long as I dont touch the server remotly I'm sure it will last for days.

What have the other admins found in these areas? and what does BIS think about this?
