Server keeps freezing !

[Airwulf]

Hi

I am using AMX 0.9.x now for 1 year and have 2 public HL Cs 1.6 Servers running! (1 with 20 and the other with 16 slots)

I have taken a look into AMXX because i always want to be up to date, so i upgraded to version 0.16.

I used the glibc 2.3 compiled files i686 and the MMx3 for my Servers. They are both on different machines but both run under Linux RH 9 !

I only used 3 plugins: deagles mapchanger, atac and swaer filter with punishments, whitch is only 1/4 of the plugins i used with the old AMX, but after playing 1 or 2 maps the game freezes complety and you have to quit it trough shell directly. There is no entry in logfile or anything, just freeze an thats it. :(

Here are some detalis that might help for dev team:

mmm, there has to be some sort of error that is causing this, I would suggest using 386 binaries also, I read around here that the 686 are not very stable.

[DoubleTap]

That would be the best first step... try the i386 binaries to establish your base (I gave up on the i686 versions) and ensure the install is correct... if that runs stable then add/replace one i686 module and restart to see which if any of them are causing the problem. I doubt it's a plugin issue because you run a clean setup.

Ok i ve now tried the i386 modules and te amxx_m_i386.so file. Now the Server ist not freezing but it crahes and starts up again.

It was running for 20 minutes 1 map, then crashing ....

i guess i have to stick to max 098 till that is resolved !

recent server freezing has been caused by steam updates check to see if your steam update.

[ngr2003]

Man we need to talk cause the same crap is killng me.

My cs 1.6 server runing metamod 1.17 and amxmod 0.9.8 freezes, and I too have to use ctrl + C to kill it. My CZERO server is also doing this with metamodx and amxmodx latest version. Even with no extra plugins both servers will randomly freeze up for no tracable reason. Some times it can be right after someone dies and sometimes it can be when the server is just idle.

MY 1.6 server had been running the same setup for years now and I started noticing these problems right after a steam update a while back. It seems like the newest steam updates are making the problem even worse for me. AMXMODX can freeze my czero server with in 2 hours sometimes.

Specs
Slackware 9.1 on 2.6.4 kernel
scsi 160 10k rpm
1gb Memory
AMD 1400

Can someone please shed some light on this topic and explain why this might be happening. I cant even begin to use amx anything on my servers anymore because its so unstable now when it used to be so great.

PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!!!

don't use metamodx with non-steam games

[[Gladiator]]

Hmmm I have now changed back to amx mod 0.9.8 but still uses metamodX and no crashes?? Must be something in amx mod x that kills the server and makes it freeze not the metamodX...And to make it run on CZ you need to use the metamodX because regular metamod wont work... :cry:

BTW
HLDS in steam sucks because it´s just eating up all memory it can (huge memory leak)...HLDS 1.1.x.x it´s for steam games but only the server so you dont need the account to log in only start the dedicated server....Maybe I should say that HLDS is for steam 1.6 not 1.5..

BTW2
I like the amxx because all plugins I use in amx mod are better done in amxx so hope to a fix/patch/update soon so I can run that one without problems...

[ngr2003]

I tried running my server with just metamodx and nothing else, and my server still froze!! Right now im running my server with just metamod 1.17 and nothing else and im waiting to see if it freezes. I tried your combo of metamodx and 0.9.8 and im still freezing. To me it seems like metamodx is freezing my server.

And why the heck or the download links for linux dedicated server czero still bad. Can we ever get that pos working.

[ngr2003]

what distro and kernel are you using ??

what distro and kernel are you using ??

If you ment me I running windows 2000 Pro and all client/progz/plugins for win32 only.... :P

[ngr2003]

boo hiss

I have no problems with running czero server and amx on any windows platform.

Wheres the linux guru's at.


THis damm linux port is horrible and only getting worse with every steam update

[QwertyAccess]

I suddenly got amxx to work and running for about 7 hours now without any errors...Did inactivate all non-standard plugins like adminlisten,ptb,swearfilter,atac...Did after every 2 hour activate the non-standard plugins 1 by 1...The plugins that is not active yet is autoslay/slaylosers maybe this is the one who makes my server crash with amxx... :D

[BAILOPAN]

also csstats has some bugs, try disabling it

[seek]

hello ,

well the server crashing is because of the swearing filter (RS Advanced Swear Filter + Punishment) ... i was also having the same problem until i disabled it ..... it goes in some kind of recursive loop ..n keep on checking the word !!

can paste the logs later here !!
