DJ-Mills Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 if run a MTA:VC 0.2 server on any computer on my network, it runs fine at first, shows on ase, people can play and all. However, if the serving computer comes under stress (loads a lot for some reason) and little free resources remain, then my entire network falls and my router resetts, knocking everyone out of the game. The server was set for 4 players and all 4 were present the last time this happened. If anyone knows a way i can fix this it would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: The same thing used to happen with the MTA:VC 0.1 server!

DJ-Mills Posted September 22, 2003 Author Posted September 22, 2003 what is the system specs? also how is the server connected to your router, thru a hub, switch? Specs of the comp are AMD Athlon 1700+ 7200rpm 40GIG HDD GeForce 4 Ti Graphics with 128Mb DDR ram Hercules Fortissimo II Surroundsound 256MB DDR Ram 16X DVD ROM 32X CD-Writer 17" relisys monitor ThermalTake Volcano Cooling system And yes all 3 computers connect through a router and all the correct ports are open! EDIT: the internet connection is 1Mbit Cable
Cray Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 You have a badly designed network then. I have never heard of this Server bringing down a proper network ... so there is not much we can do about this. We will try to fix the crashing bugs, that is all.
Pic0o Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I had a Similar Problem before. It was on a DSL line w/ 0.1, and the player limit was too high. You probally flodded ( ) Your Connection 5 Players works good for me on a 256 Cable line btw, I had the Issue on a 128 DSL

We will try to fix the crashing bugs, that is all. My network is relatively simple, 3 computers 1 router 1 cable connection, thats all. EDIT: Nevermind, il try buying a higher quality router such as a NetGear One.
DJ-Mills Posted September 23, 2003 Author Posted September 23, 2003 Thanx for all your help guys but.... I SOLVED IT, w00t, I bought a nice NetGear router, now its perfect!
Cerbera Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Thanx for all your help guys but....I SOLVED IT, w00t, I bought a nice NetGear router, now its perfect! So, does this mean your server will be back up with so we can play some street racing with 0.1 somewhen? Grab me on MSN if we will.
b0b0 Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 You probably had yourself set up with a hub. That would definately screw over your network. Besides, you can't trust these routers. The best way to do it is to use a unix router , never fails.
crUshed420 Posted November 17, 2003 Posted November 17, 2003 I think I'm suffering from the same problem you were... I'm currently using a Linksys Wireless-G Router (WRT54G), and sometimes (usually at high loads, but not always) EVERYONE will get disconnected from my server at once; a mass timeout for everyone. When this happens, my Internet IP address changes as well. The weird thing is that this doesn't happen at any other time other than running the MTA server. If I'm uploading/downloading from ftp/web/irc/etc no problems, my other game servers never crap out (Ghost Recon and BF 1942) when under stress... it just seems to happen when mta is running. Has anyone found a solution for this, other than buying a better router? Not using the router is also not really an option...
