DiscoveryGC Server Status Thread - majkp - 07-22-2008
We are doing all we can to ensure the stability of the server, but flserver is a buggy and not very stable program, we use modded files, we use several patches (flhook, 128 limit crack, multithreading patch) and we're also getting a lot of cheaters/modders lately so all this together obviously causes server to crash and regrettably it's normal.
The software we run server-side is capable of detecting that the flserver is down and it can start it up automatically (it usually takes up to 10 minutes). But it can happen that the server is down for a longer period of time and in those cases you help us all by posting in this thread which draws attention of someone with access to the server.
Post here only under these circumstances:
- Server is down for longer than 10 minutes and you are almost sure it's the server (not your connection).
- Missions are not spawning any target NPCs and cannot be canceled.
- Infinite jumping sequence where jumpholes stop working and turn into an endless loop.
- No one else has posted recently and you see no one posting anything in here.
- Keep your post brief and apposite; no essays, specify the time server was last online
Thank you!
