Hello,
Has anyone used the ServUORepack and used it on a long term basis ?
I am using this repack, with a few more custom scripts, on a live Shard that I own. With my friend
@Serenity , we have put plenty of energy and time into building a cool custom and fun shard. People seem to really enjoy it. So we are very positive about it
But we are cursed with sort of "crashes" for a few months now, which has made us loose a few players already.
The description of those crashes are more like they are freezing the server. Players stay connected in game, but cannot move. No-one can connect to the game anymore, until the server is retarted. There are no crash logs.
It's kinda very hard to fix without crash logs ...
We started thinking about what could cause this and when the freezes started to happen.
We first thought it was due to tokens from the OWLTR system. It seemed to coincide with the moment we created a "Token Crypt" with lots of mobs which were dropping tokens (through xml addition).
So we first turned off the token crypt, and even disabling the tokens from the OWLTR system.
But still, freezes were happening.
Serenity and another of our staff member (our dear Celestial
) spent A LOT of time creating seasonal events. Today is when we launched the Summer Festival. And starting today, we are getting the freezes on a regular base. It already occured 4-5 times in one day.
We have more or less 1.9 million items in game and around 60k mobiles. We have a lot of static items.
Could the freezes come from the high number of items ?
Anyone has an idea where I could look into to get rid of those annoying crashes ?
I am currently looking in the NetState.cs file. You gotta know it's the version that was on ServUO in January 2017. The file has been updated since in the repo. But I fear I can't update the file to a newer version without having the change the whole Network folder, which would lead me to update the whole Core .... and then the entire Scripts (distro and custom). I have started that work, but it requires changing thousands of lines of code.
That's why I was asking if anyone was using this version ServUORepack and if anyone would have experienced such freezes.
Thanks to anyone who can help. We are in some kind of trouble with our server right now, as it doesn't restart by itself. It's just waiting frozen to be restarted manually, which is very unconvenient even if we are two having access to the console.
Anyway, thx for your help ! And thx for creating this great Repack
