Reply With Quote #1

Hello guys, I have been having this issue for so long, I tried figure out what causing it but no success

After few rounds of Versus game server, the server bug like the image below, there is no survivors or infected at all, and it will last for ever unless u changed the map or restart the server





I tried to remove few plugins and test it, but since the bug is unpredictable, its hard for me to remove and test all my plugins

So does anyone had similar issue before and knew or have idea on how to fix it

Thanks

You could try installing [ANY] Restart Empty Server (or Map) that would probably fix the issue. Only way to figure which plugin is causing this is half all the plugins, and restore half or remove half and repeat until you find the culprit.

Thank you Silvers

I already have Dragokas restart empty server plguin, but still issue persist

It also happens if there are already some players in the game once we finish one of the campaigns and we are going to the next one, it bugs as well.

And there is no log errors

Then it seems you have no option but to half the plugins, monitor, restore half if no issue, or if the issue persist cut half again that are running and maybe restore the previous bunch. Maybe a plugin conflict which would be worse because you might remove 1 of the 2 culprits and think they're fine.

Good luck.

Yeah, I've been halving and restoring plugins for 2 months now on a test server trying to figure out what's crashing. Finally down to 6 plugins out of ~250. Reason it's taken so long is server not popular and not being able to check often, every few days.

I think I was able to detect the issue

All the times where the server bugs, I have this message below in my server console and when it bugs this number usually > 19

PHP Code:
SCRIPT PERF WARNING --- "__RunGameEventCallbacks" ran long at 19.870798ms 
Its usually about 1.5ms

But in few times, it takes more

I have heavily changed maps using stripper and about 120 plugins

Is this usually related to any?

I will mark this as solved

I think by minimizing few plugins and removing unnecessary strippers, now kinda working

Not sure if any of them is the actual reason, but I did mass filtering of everything

Thank you Silver for your attention

SCRIPT PERF WARNING is just warning from VScripts being executed and is normal.
