Here's a couple of screenshots from another incident: http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/lag_problems/cp_steel0093.jpg http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/lag_problems/cp_steel0095.jpg
The server time when these screenshots were taken was around 22:32:30. The log from around the incident is available here: http://www.sourceop.com/randomimages/lag_problems/log_segment.txt This particular incident happened five minutes after a prior one. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, but it does affect multiple people. The admin that took the screen shots said this: The first incident of this happened at 8:34pm server time and then again at 8:39pm. I was healing a heavy, mic was silent, kritz was up and he said "I need ammo" and then I froze. People had been chatting periodically for that 5 minute timeframe but mic chat was lower than usual. At 8:39 it happened again but I don't recall anything specific happening before. For the first second or two that it starts, I can still look around and don't always notice it but by 5 seconds in, everything is completely locked up and then it's obvious. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Paloma Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 8:52 AM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2: Players locking up I'll try to get a console log from a player and the server when this happens. There are no custom sounds on the server. There are no downloads at all. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Haven Meyer Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 6:34 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2: Players locking up Good Morning, More specific : See if you can get someone to send you a screenshot of the console when these lag outs / crashes occur, or pull that log. Reason I ask is that it looks to be another issue with Netchannel overflow. -Things to look for. Are you running any custom sounds in server? I can go into more details if requested, but simply put is that those custom sounds could be what is causing the server to run like this / dropping users but not crash the server. I have the logs / screenshots to back this up, as well as a way to fix it if that is the issue. -While I don't see anything in the screenshot, there are ways to crash other players using the same svc_VoiceData from someone playing custom sounds in server. If when a certain someone plays a .wave file and then things start going crazy, it could very well be that exploit at work. I could be incorrect for your specific situation, but it would match what we are seeing on the graph. Good luck, and feel free to contact me via email if needed.
