Issue with Level 8 Purges

For months my friends and I (who play on a private Isle of Siptah server) have been doing Purges. We finally got up to level 8, which was the highest we intended to go. We did several of them with no problem at all. However, yesterday we tried to do one, almost got through the whole Purge, and then the server crashed.

We tried again. Same thing happened.

Today we did a level 5. A level 6. A level 7. No problem. Just to be save, we kept our use of noxious gas to a minimum. I’d heard that too much gas can be a problem.

But it seems as though we’ve run into a brick wall. We can’t complete level 8 purges anymore.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this issue?

Thank you!

On the Exile lnd on the official server, purges level 10 are achievable on ps4

I have not finished my configuration on siptah on the official server

But I will share a video by tomorrow

For one player or two player

Are you per chance using Gas Orbs, Explosives or something that inflicts a AOE status effect or provokes an animation? (Like the Darkness spell)

We do use noxious gas, but, like I described, we keep it to a bare minimum because I’m aware it can cause issues. Maybe two clouds at a time.

I guess I could try doing a level 8 with no gas at all and see if that works. Might be a bit hairy though.

Purges are somewhat taxing on the servers.
That’s a lot of moving parts and when the fireworks start going off, it can be very intensive.
Have you discussed the matter with the server admin?
As it is a private server, they may know something else.
This one has been on a private server that oops dropped a couple times because the admin needed to reboot it and may have forgotten to mention the impending reboot to everyone.

Not necessarily your issue, but there are factors the admin may know.

Yeah, like I mentioned, I know about how gas can cause issues. That’s why we cut down on gas for level 6 and 7 Purges and had no issues. But we get to level 8, and even using the same amount of gas as before causes a crash. Also, the crash always comes right before the end of the Purge. We survive multiple waves of golems and other enemies and almost get to the end where the Stygian dude appears, and the server crashes. I’m just wondering if there is something special about level 8 that might cause issues. I was wondering if this level 8 thing was a known issue somehow.

In any case, thanks for the suggestions.

Purge level 8 done without too many problems on official pve server on Ps4
A little lag, but nothing more than usual
No crash
10 players online
Elaborate base without any particular restrictions
Solo purge
raw video without editing without blabla tralala

I allowed myself to participate because I usually eat my curly

the siege cauldrons work less well on siptah…
avoid building above the cauldrons.
gravity seems reversed…
The tar is stuck to the ceiling

Edit !

after analysis and double blind testing
I recommend you play naked
Conan is not originally intended to wear clothes
The source code is therefore not adapted to the recent addition of cosmetic products
The more you wear armor, the more bugs you will notice
That’s why the hunt event was added

This one noticed a similar issue at a base near mounds of the dead in Exiled Lands.
The burning tar was pouring up the near wall.
Will get a picture of it happens again.
So bizarre.

you need a block of space between each cauldron
Tar and fire are cumulative effects but if the cauldron is identical, the effect is not cumulative and can cause display defects
3 blocks out of 3

I would, but it gets a bit chilly in Finland in the winter.

otherwise for info

Purge lvl 10 complete
don’t do 2 in a row…

I was able to complete a level 8 purge by not using any gas. Still not sure why gas doesn’t work with level 8.

You might want to talk to the server admin and coordinate with them to turn it into an experiment. Start the server, run the level 8 purge without gas, then shut down the server and make a copy of the server log. Then start the server again, run the level 8 purge with gas, and if the server crashes, make a copy of the server log. Then submit a bug report and attach the logs. If you can also make videos and attach those, that would probably also help.

need to ask, where is your server hosted? gportal? whats the capacity they are paying? cause if you got one that looks like official server, that can be the culprit.

the reason behind it is logical,

the purge is resource intensive, gas when dealing damage to a large group of enemies also is a resource intensive, and the servers cant handle it, therefor the server crash… it is EXTREMELY easy to reproduce., the reasons most people do not complaint about it is that in most cases people are cheesing the purges at the volcano, using lava to kill everything, so its a free pinata for anyone building in the right spot.

in my siptah server i do run lvl10 prges, but i do not use arrows, and noramlly i like to run purges when there is very little people online. or none… but i have noticed, if 2 or more people are calling purges, there is a high probability of the server crashing. and if you use plenty of gas arrows it will crash the server.

SERVERS needs a major overhaul (upgrade) as they are right now they cant keep up with the game, i do understand there is a cost associated with it, but i am sure funcom could reduce their number of official servers undersdtandtiing that a lot of them has very little activivy merge them but improve the remianing ones so people has a good experience.

i believe some of the nasty bugs including the fall thru pieces is also affected by poor server performance.

I am on a private server (the Waknation Unofficial Isle of Siptah). We usually only do Purges when we three are alone on the server.

I have noticed that if two people do Purges at the same time, the server will invariably crash, so we make sure to announce them if there are others on the server.

Again, the odd thing is that we can fire dozens, if not a hundred, gas arrows during Purges level 1 through 7, and we complete with no problem. But if we use just one gas arrow at level 8, then the entire server will crash near the end of the Purge. Just a single arrow will cause this effect.

That seems peculiar. My theory is there’s something about level 8 Purges that adds an element of instability of some kind.

Dear Wak, do you use gportal servers right?
