Yet another ridiculous update

[[Team] Kilemal]

For anyone interested . . . .

After reloading the games again yesterday with brand new dedicated server installations that I downloaded from yet another provider, I think we just need to wait a few days and let all the new software settle down. The custom map game seems to be having the most trouble, and I haven't yet checked the logs for today, but yesterday I started up a brandy new vanilla game at 11:30 am and it only crashed three times the rest of the day. When we first started doing this over two years ago, I vaguely remember having the same problems on the linux server when everything was brand new. It seemed like the more I played with the games and restarted them and the server, the worse they ran. I'm hopeful that they will settle down in the next couple days and play just as we expect them to. I'm seeing a lot of punk buster errors in the logs and people getting kicked for modified content, but I believe those errors will also lessen over time also.


:rolleyes:

KEEP UP the GREAT JOB.
Hope you get to play the game soon.
I think you might need to work off some frustration, by killing some bots. LOL

I thought I would just add this here rather than starting another thread . . .

I was kinda busy working this past week (good thing :D) so I just left the games alone and let them run. This morning I went through the logs for Sat. 03/20/10 to see which games were crashing and here's what I found:

Vanilla - 11
Custom - 8
AIX - 3
P.R. - 3

I don't know how anyone else feels about it, but to me this is unacceptable. I'll talk to a few other dedicated server providers this week and see if one of them will let me run a test game for a few days to see if the games crash as much as they do now. If not they'll have a new customer as of next month.
