JyKri October 13, 2011 Share JyKri Member October 13, 2011 Hello, There seems to be a lot of server crashes lately, and it's getting to the point where it's infrequent to finish a whole versus run without it going down and resetting. Is this just a normal process we have to bear with or is it being looked into already? Either way, see you guys in game : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrold October 23, 2011 Share Harrold Member October 23, 2011 I don't know if this is happening for sure, but I realized that you can crash the server by connection to it when the map is changing and then taking up a slot in either of the teams. I don't know if this is for sure or not, but I have seen this happening quiet a few times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyKri October 23, 2011 Author Share JyKri Member October 23, 2011 It seems to have calmed down the past couple of days, I personally haven't experienced the crashes anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan October 23, 2011 Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 23, 2011 Crashes seem to be more frequent the sooner a game update is applied to the server. If I was a pro-grammer (lolz), I would try to make it so the server doesn't use like 50 plugins and have them all consolidated down into like... 3 or 5 or something. Since I am not good at that thing, it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValenAlvern October 23, 2011 Share ValenAlvern Member October 23, 2011 Theres only three two reason I know that causes the server to crash, Something happening to the servers in Chicago, Valve messed up, or Nightling tried to join and it crashed.

JackieChan October 23, 2011 Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 23, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Valve uses a modified version of the Orange Box source engine for L4D/L4D2 and they basically have it so the game is most stable under 4-8 players, not 20. 20 players causes a lot of instability plus the amount of plugins and whatnot all running on the server at once. Think of it as piling up 7 people in a 4 seater car. Sure, 3 can squeeze in the front as well in the back, but the 7th person? Yeah, that's not really safe.

samurai nightling October 24, 2011 Share samurai nightling Member October 24, 2011 Its always worse right after an update, then it calms down a bit sometimes. And Valen ,me joining and the server crashing is all coincidence! Just very often coincidences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky November 5, 2011 Share Sky Member November 5, 2011 Crashes seem to be more frequent the sooner a game update is applied to the server. If I was a pro-grammer (lolz), I would try to make it so the server doesn't use like 50 plugins and have them all consolidated down into like... 3 or 5 or something. Since I am not good at that thing, it won't happen. Send me a list of the plugins you use, and I'll consolidate it. Now that I'm only idling as a mod programmer and not maintaining a community, I have significantly more free time. Also, if you want a more custom plugin, I've got a bit of free time on my hands this month. Skyy's the only person to ever put together a coherent 10v10 server, and he quit recently afaik. As I've done for mega's server community http://steamcommunity.com/groups/maximumservers , I took dozens of plugins and dropped them into two plugins. Stability way up *reaching for clouds* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
