What's with the 128 player limit? - ChrisWade - 04-27-2008

Can't find any info on this...
Why is the player limit changed form 200 to 128 all of a sudden?
It's almost impossible to get in now...

Have there been any official statement about it?

one of the reasons is the crashing thats hapening latley prehaps

yes, I've heard that explaination too.. But nobody seems to acctually KNOW why this happened.
Could maybe someone from the team answer the question that is lingering on everyones lips?

Its been buried somewhere in the spamming of the official threads, but it was taken back down to 128 temporarily so Korrd & company could debug things.

My understanding is that the increase above 128 was done with a script. It seems that this script may have been linked to the death messages being incorrect as well as increasing the amount that the server crashed.
Chances are its fixable but will require testing and this means time. Please be patient.

Ok. Thank you for the information.
I will sit back, drinking space-brew in the meantime.

I've lowered the player limit, and removed the patch that allowed it because we are looking for the cause of the crashes.

As we are not sure about what is causing the crashes, we are going to follow the normal diagnose method. That is, to remove and shut stuff down one at a time, until the problem is solved. That way, we will know which component/components, is/are the cause of our trouble.

I ask for patience. We are doing this in order to improve the server's stability.


Thanks.
Korrd.

Have you tried asking the guys in Lancers Reactor or other Freelancer Server administrators? Maybe they could help. Asking around couldn't hurt.

Instead of annoying admins who are working hard to fix it with nonsensical question, think quietly about your RP, and check sometime if you can connect to the server.
1) Let the admins work.
2) Some people REALLY need this time to think about RP...
3) The less you talk, the fastest the admins can work, the fastest it wil be fixed.

As much as I might get yelled at for this... Is anything happening to Majkp's computer itself? Or is it the server programs in general that are messing up? We ALL can help troubleshoot (somewhat), but we need to know what the problem is.
