Find What Crashes the Server and Earn 3 Donors!

Post by Henhouse »

Currently there is a bug that crashes the server almost every 2-6 hours. Sometimes the server will stay up for a day without encountering this bug, and then it will crash.

The bug is related to the despawning of a gameobject, or possibly spell related to a despawn of a game object.

If any one person can find the legit source of this bug, which can be proven and fixed by us, we will grant them 3, completely free donor characters. We would like our server to be able to stay up for days, not crash like these. So if the server crashes, what were you last doing? Were you possibly related to why it crashed? Help us find out, and get rewarded.

Sometimes there spawns a zeppelin at the battlemaster island and thrall tells a RP story blabla, as soon as thrall walks back and the whole bunch dissapears the server DCed, that what i noticed once, It might be it i only was there the first DC.

The second thing that can cause can be the Lv70 ETC Band at the battlemasters island, makes me have HUGE lagg spikes and may causes it.

If this isnt helping, I tried my best :)

WOW that actually might be it -- because the Zeppelin is an object that isn't suppose to despawn, or at least never does correctly until you leave the map and come back. Wow, you might have discovered it, but we'll need to test and do some stuff before we can figure out if that's the reason.

Give us a bit more time to have several days of uptime to test. This, we believe was the issue along with people getting stuck inside raids that didn't exist which we addressed that problem.

Amazing observation though, so far we've had good uptime but we've been restarting a lot to put in new cores and stuff -- so sorry for the wait!

I have no longer seen this error since we despawned the boat, sadly there are a few more things that crash it such as segmentation faults and grouping in instance problems, but other than that -- well done!

3 codes have been PMed to you to get your donors.
