Ya the minidumps only work on Windows. It shouldn't be spamming your console though, but I found some issues on Linux that may have made it more spammy than it should be. I'll fix that, but it won't matter since it's not writing dumps anyways.
I'll see if I can get it to use breakpad to write minidumps on Linux. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 11:52 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released I have a TF2 linux server and I don't see the dumplongticks console command. Is this only for Windows builds? If I enable the dumps from command line using -dumplongticks argument, server's console is spammed with "Long tick after tick..." messages, but no files are saved. From what I see LongTickWatcherThread calls WriteMiniDump, but this function is empty. Am I missing something? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Paloma Sent: 09/16/11 12:14 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released Ya, it can be used for that. It will create up to 10 assert_*.mdmp files in the working directory for each long tick (and thus you shouldn’t leave it on without monitoring otherwise you could get a ton of dumps in your directory over time). You can also enable/disable it from the console using the “dumplongticks” command. But if the server is completely hung, you can just generate a dump from taskmanager (the 32-bit one) or Visual Studio (or gdb on linux). You can send me or JonL a link to any dump file you suspect caused by replay. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of E.
