Server Servers Stopping / Crashing since 1048 update.

[NightWolfx03]

I have 4 servers I run and as of the 1048 update every once and a while I check the machine I notice between 1 / All the server window(s) have closed and are not running.

Is anyone else seeing this issue ?

See your log file, some error is maybe clearly visible there? Send them here maybe.

 

[NightWolfx03]

Which logs should I attempt to look in ?

 

[®omano]

The..... crashed server(s) log(s)? :awkward:

edit: YourServer/KFGame/logs/Launch.log

 

[NightWolfx03]

I'll look when I get a moment, needless to say I have not have many problems with the servers until recently, so I never really had any reason to dig in the logs. And for an error / crash log, well, naming it launch is not exactly intuitive. I just asked here first since well, was curious if anyone else's servers where acting up.

Actually none of my servers are crashing to answer to your opening post.

The Launch.log file is not the crash log, it is the server log file, where everything that can be logged is logged so near the bottom are often found the reasons of the crashes, and most of the time the crash itself.

In the meantime you can verify your server files with the SteamCMD tool by adding the "validate" thing at the end of the update command.

app_update 232130 [B]validate[/B]

Dear Mod: I know this is likely the wrong sub-forum, how many posts does one have to make to be able to send someone a Private message?

Yup also having the crashing issue since 1048 my server has gone from being very highly ranked on Gametracker to now in the 200's because of this issue!

Has anyone had any luck in finding a fix?

app_update 232130 [B]validate[/B]

I've done a validate countless times with no download / repair needed on all of them.

What game type / difficulty you running how many slots have you got and can you post your start line arguments please just so we / I can rule out what might be causing these crashes

TIA

for sure you have a problem with your system date.. "Log: Log file open, 11/26/15 00:14:08". Your log does not even contain the full start log unfortunately so we don't have anything to look at.

You can try to reset the config folder by deleting all the non DefaultXXXX.ini files.
You can try to reinstall the server in a new folder and see if it works with 100% fresh files.
You can give your server specs.
You can detail what you run on your server: is it a stock server, or do you run custom maps/mods/mutators?
you can try to start the server on NON DEFAULT PORTS especially if you run the server on same computer you play on.

EDIT: just saw that http://forums.tripwireinteractive.co...21#post2281321 do you have same problem when running kf2 server in a normal way I mean without any extra tool (download server, start it with the .bat file)?

 

[NightWolfx03]

I got mine to stop crashing by turning off the Server Takeover feature. They were crashing every few days and now they have been up for almost 2 weeks solid after changing that.

Try doing that and see if it helps, though if this is whats causing it I suspect the devs will be curious why the servers are quitting or crashing.

It's pinned in a sticky in this sub forum.

Also side note, I wish that when you update the dedicated server it would not wipe out server configs. It keeps turning my web admin off when I update.
