Servers lags, crashes and disconnects (for admins)

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 9:37 am

We are renting cry2 server at gameservers.com and last 2 weeks (or all the time) have a lot of problems with it, so we need some statistic how other servers running, to make a decision what to do.

We have:

- server crash with automatic restart - the biggest problem
- random kicking - 1 or (...n) players can be randomly kicked (you has been kicked message)
- random disconnect - 1 or (...n) players can be randomly disconnected
- sometimes server has a big lag (not orbital strike)

The uptime is 1.5 - 2.5 hours, sometimes less.

So we have to make decision, choose other ISP, move server to new machine with new IP or stop renting :)

Automatic restart happens on my server too, we're on NFOServers. According to our tech support, this is just the nature of Crysis 2 -- frequent server-end crashing. It happens almost once every 2-4 hours. Very annoying, but switching to MultiPlay didn't work, and if you're having the problem too over at Gameserver, then this probably means the base server code is faulty.

I've seen official EA servers crash too, just so you know. Can't tell you if it's just as frequent, because I don't enjoy playing on servers where there's no admins moderating against cheaters and poor sportsmanship.

Look at the history: past week month. It pretty much stays full. At 3-5 am it may drop players. wtf, it's not like there's 1,000s playing this game. RastasKH and DonovanHock say their servers crashes every 2-3 hours. There are also times the server locks up/hangs the players in the lobby and they will drop out. Another reason is that there's not always an admin on to start the game when it hangs in the lobby or ban a hacker having his way on the server. But for the most part, I think our server stays up for days at a time without crashing.

thanks for your answers, i were asking LEET's support about crashes and describe our situation, they said crashes is ok for cry 2 servers, i think we have to wait for patches :)
