Could we get 1 night without a server crash?

[Seven0Seven]

Come on, you guys can do better than this…#1944 has nightly crashes for the last 2 weeks. get with it.

[Taemien]

Those are daily restarts.

I play on an official server and have yet to experience any crashes of late. There are restarts at regular times but you can usually log back in soon after.

@Taemien
are you sure? do you know this server?

Riganti
there are occasionally crashes on different official servers, maybe it has todo with the high usage of some, maybe it’s some unknown bug, it can happen from time to time

usually servers restart at 6:10am (gmt+2 / utc+2) , you will get a couple of warnings starting at 6am and therefor be able to get in a safe place

Server #1744 has crashed nightly. It could be an issue with gportal.

It’s the design of the DB/SQL/Persistence, or lack thereof. Definitely some flawed logic. Don’t blame G-Portal from what I can tell they are doing an amazing job of hosting this game, great hardware. Definitely not their fault.

Major Long term Systemic issue found to the game.db file

I’m assuming this would help with crashes, most likely an access violation, however I just started my server and have no player base. I do know that it will speed up your server 10s of times as far as DB writes are concerned. I’m using fstab to recreate my tmpfs on linux and custom scripts for backup/restore with a symbolic link to the Saves folder. If you’re running a linux box, I could do a write up if you like.

They are also rolling out test branch for their servers.

Servers from steamcmd are using TestBranch instead of a Production/Release build, timings included, likely performance hit

I play on a sever with you. I actually did some research and had to adjust my position. The error seems to be occurring on private servers as well. I read the above post. Also the error occurring before the crash seems to be information related. Similar issues occurred in Ark when players tried to transfer characters with too much data/ sigils across multiple servers.

Gportal seems to be doing the best they can and the issue is probably what you say, the code.

@Daddydore

I play on a sever with you.

Ya I’ve pretty much given up on playing on #1744 because of the crashes every night, my clan of 7 is just me now… sad times. Everyone stopped playing on Official because of the crashes, even when we had so much stuff.

Oh well, I will continue my Trump wall when I can stone tools and cloth are easy to replace =), perhaps if we break the server good enough they will be forced to fix it.

We need G-Portal to not be able to fix it, then they will contact Funcom and be like hey we cannot fulfill our contractual obligations with this server you need to do something. I’m thinking like 5k+ fish traps might do it.
