Random horrible crashes

Unread post by Riftoff »

This wasn't such a big deal a few weeks ago, but now that we're filling up the server, we need to focus on fixing this. It's one thing for it to be down for 10 seconds, but 10+ is a pain in the ass.

Yeah, last night it crashed during Badlands, after we played for 30 minutes
This would be worth money if you had it in writing

Nothing clears a server faster. Except for maybe rainbow.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice, then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it.

It happened a lot also when a certain admin was spamming commands from melee mode to non-melee mode.


edit: sorry, on the funserver is my example.

I can check the logs and see what might be causing it. If the server is down for more than a few seconds it has to be manually started again. The server will automatically restart itself if it is down for two server polling periods (anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes).

If anyone thinks they might know why this is happening, let me know.

I'll verify this and see if I can fix it. I don't know how much I'll be able to do but at the very least I could remove the plugin until it is fixed.
