Yup, had this recently. No match server crashes, but reports of in-game lag, when box CPU, disk and net utilisation is fine. Haven’t quite caught it in the act (people keep telling me AFTER the fact :/ ) so I don’t know if the server’s FPS is degraded
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Renshaw Sent: 13 January 2011 07:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Server crash reports I run a few match servers, the issue for me behaves more like a dos attack, the game server lags, fps drops through the floor & pings rise massively until everyones connection drops, within about 30 seconds of getting disconnected we can reconnect the time is still counting down & the game is as we left it no crash.. so no dump file generated, during the issue cpu usage doesn't rise memory stays about the same, other match servers on the same box run fine throughout the period. Only had this occur 2 x my servers, 1 incident we played one team where we changed server 3 times before giving up the issue followed them, they speculated that they had been playing some sore losers who were attacking there games. 2nd incident playing freight against a mix team and issue occurred 5 + times, sometimes the connection would time out & we needed to reconnect, some of the time we were ok & issue ended quite quickly. set this app up last night as a trial http://www.wantedgov.it/page/62-srcds-query-cache/ and non of the clans reported any issues last night & we didn't have any whilst we were playing, but hard to tell if it worked or we just weren't attacked, other clans have been reporting success after de listing themselves from the master servers & hiding the server. all my tf2 servers are hosted on windows but people hosting on linux are also reporting the issue on etf2l.org. we don't run a custom white list & we use sv_pure 2.
