i know this has been brought up before, but its the number of times the servers crash or lag out are ridiculous. gungame is the worst, on a normal 2 hour or so session it probably crashes about 2 or 3 times. zm is slighly better and from the small amount i play the pub server i really cant tell. wether it be by ddos, randomness, or due to the fact that the server has so many mods that one of them may be causing this without our knowledge. all in all i think something needs to be done because my no other server i play on crashes this often. thanks

In the case of the gg server, is there any maps that seem to always make it crash or lag? Such maps may need to be removed.

no

it crashes going to anything such as deagle all the way to off the wall new maps such as flower... its just kinda random and u never know when its going to happen. Sometimes it is more noticable if an admin makes the map change, but even that is inconsistant in getting it to crash. But more times than not it is caused by an admin changing the map. Hell the other day it crashed going to texture jungle.

For the gg server I have not seen it make dump files for more than twice a day. In each of these cases it is due to engine.dll crashes that trace to valve as the cause. I can not do anything if the engine crashes. If it was being caused by say sourcemod.dll then I could do something as that would indicate that a plugin is causing it to crash.

Well ZERO is there a way to detect the "type" of crash so can get to the bottom of it for you?

Maybe you overloaded the server with too much useless crap and now its coming back to bite you in the rear.

tentoes kiss my ass

nothing really but the goremod is fucking up with the knife mod and causing the missing weapons glitch plus it creates lag for people with normal computers and a diecent connection

also it cant be helping the server any in its current condition and is probably more than a little bit responsibile for its current crashes.

GG server has some issues that needs to be addressed. It's not so much that people aren't noticing the issues, it's just that everyone has adapted to deal with what's going on. We shouldn't have to adapt to the issues with the GG server, there are too many active paying members of IBIS for this to have gone on for so long.

Pub is fine, ZM seems to be fine, and the status of WCS is just pitiful.

I will say this the amount of regulars that used to play GG have definate moved on. Im tired of still getting kicked for not having a reserved slot. so Ill play one or to games and go fuck it Ill just play something else and move onto the many new games that are out this holiday season.

The real question is why is engine.dll is failling other servers dont seem to have that much of an issue as ibis does. So there has to be something where overlooking that makes the Engine unstable.

I have just done a major update on all servers. This should fix problems like the reserved slot issue along with lag and crashes.

...that's the point.

unless you're talking about each map change. in that case, zero, have the bots spawn 30 sec into the round. there, problem solved.

Yes, Whats the point of fake clients? i looked into that all it does is eat up slots why do you have fake clients? Also theirs still horrible maps and the reserved slot is caused by that and also psycho stats panics out sometimes my rank dropped way below for using a shotgun. And also your reserved slot&playing a round twice got my deaths higher too.

yea the slays for late joining people at the begining of a map is getting really old too. although it doesnt happen to me because i have reserved slot, i can feel for the 10 or so people who dont get to play the first round because they "played the round twice" ....needs to be fixed

:cry cry:

the bots make the server look populated. keeps people in there. they get kicked as others join. unfortunately, the way that it's working now, they're there immediately upon map start, even before people connect. BUT, the auto-kick for them doesn't activate until several seconds in, so people get refuse for server being full.

also, shotties have very low weight for stats. using a shotty won't o much for your stats. same w/ para/p90. if you want your stats to increase, mp5 is your best bet.

Will look at the code and see what is going wrong when I get a chance.
