Arma II Linux Server 1.04 Public Alpha

[DFFChiel]

HI,

Thanks for the reply.
I monitored both our servers.

One is an Pentium4 2.8 with 1GB mem. CENTOS 5.1
2.6.18-53.el5xen #1 SMP i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

SERVER LOAD: FPS 43 MEMORY 476MB OUT 61 KBPS IN 3 KBPS

Now , I want to believe that this server is a little old, but was good enough to serv Arma1 and BF2.

================================================== =======

The other one is hosted by server4you and is a little better.

Processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 107
model name : AMD Processor model unknown
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 2109.750
cache size : 512 KB

4GB MEM. CENTOS 5.0
2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

SERVER LOAD: FPS 4 to 6 MEM 430 to 431 OUT 83KBPS IN 19 KBPS


Now I can't believe I need more than that.

We hosted a Windows dedi arma2 on the AMD64 on VPAR without problems.

There must be something else as the standard missions like Civil War the AI is doing what they must do.
But COOP missions we made or Downloaded like co12_hijack_rev.utes.pbo and co12_spetsgruppa_dracul_v1_5.chernarus.pbo
don't run the AI scenario.
They just stand and do nothing.

I think this is not a hardware problem.

Thanks

ERVER LOAD: FPS 4 to 6 MEM 430 to 431 OUT 83KBPS IN 19 KBPS

Is quite low already.

Ofc there can be very well a problem with the linux DS.
However without more testing to pinpoint the source, it is hard to say.

Hi KJU,

funny that the old P4 2.8 has a FPS of 43.

But that doen't matter, same isseu.

Seems to be we go back to the VPAR with Winblows.
Pity.
We have to wait, i'll guess more of you encounter or already have problems with downloaded COOP.

Keep up the good work

Thanks for your reply, Dr.Pulp.

The poblem was the server-binary itself. Downloaded it again and now it's working.
je, that took me quite a while

So, thanks again.

Burning fires seem to have a very bad effect on server fps. [...]

This counts for every kind of fires. Even the fire of destroyed vehicles.

Server log:

Error during evaluation of expression _color[i] in SmallFireF
Error during evaluation of expression _color[i] in SecondaryExp 

The first one is for fires, the second one was created by destroyed vehicles.
Appears very often in the log.

yesterday we played some hours coop missions on our server. At some point our server completly froze! everybody weas still connected, but the server didn't log anything anymore...nothing moved ingame and #monitor 1 stopped working too.

restarting resolved it...but that was wierd!

After that we played some Domination Mission...and the performance went downhill the longer we played. startet with 45-50 fps...and as we ended the server ran at 19-20 fps.

After disconnecting while plaing a custom mission a slot was still being used accoding to the server browser. I tried reconnecting but I was stuck on "waiting for host."

Other than the server fps issues the default Superpowers mission seems to be running fine.

[DFFChiel]

HI X,

I agree that the default missions runs fine, but did you ever tried a COOP Downloaded one.
I just want to know if you and I have the same IA problems.
Just IA that do nothing than a little fire back without scenario.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

we tried now to install the server on a much heavier Node 64bits.
The FPS is now 50 and memory 10 before starting a game.
That sounds good, also in game between 45 and 50 wit 20mb mem.
Lovely.

Still on both 64bit nodes the server start in 5 minutes.
On a simple P4 2.8 in 30 seconds.

Still the AI is dumb, and is not moving or reacting in COOP.

But perhaps something for you in the logging.

Before the game start we see alot:

sleep 0.01;
"colorCorrections" ppEffectAdjust [1, 1.1, -0.004, [0.0, 0.>
Error position: <ppEffectAdjust [1, 1.1, -0.004, [0.0, 0.>
Error Missing ;
File ca\missions\MPScenarios\MP_Deathmatch.chernarus\in it.sqf, line 276
23:23:37 Game started.

Then during game:

23:29:25 Game started.
Error in expression <


if (!isnil "_showrules" && _grpSideId >= 0) then {
_ruleId = _showr>
Error position: <_grpSideId >= 0) then {

Error position: <_rule <= 0) && _n < _allgroupstotal && !>
Error Undefined variable in expression: _rule
Error in expression < "_icon"


This repeats on and on.

And the log ends with:

Sleep 0.01;
"colorCorrections" ppEffectAdjust [1, 0.8, -0.002, [0.0, 0.>
Error position: <ppEffectAdjust [1, 0.8, -0.002, [0.0, 0.>
