Win Hlds Crashes Occasionally

Lornath

<div class="IPBDescription">I have logs & dr watson full dump</div> I run two NS3b3 servers on a w2k box, and I seem to get about a crash or two a day (total). It seems a few other people have intermittent problems with crashing, notably on map changes:

After dealing with this for a while, I decided to fire up Dr Watson and caught one crash on each of my servers.

Here's what was listed as the location of the crash in both cases:

One crash was on on ns_eclipse, right after a game ended, and the other was on co_daimos. I checked the logs, and in both games grenade guns had been handed out. I don't know if that really means anything or not, but I saw it in the dump...

Running the dump through windbg yields a teeny bit more info:

Im phasing to server forum.

Destroying something in particular with a grenade perhaps causes the crash? Must be a windows thing though, our linux server hasn't crashed once since we installed ns3.

If any crash of Win32 server occurs, you may try to use a nice program SERVERDOC (www.serverdoc.com) which restarts NS/CS/HL server after it crashes
<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also it allows to set priority level for your server, some times it helps

Yeah, I use serverdoc. But it still sucks when the server crashes

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one running into this problem with running a Win32 dedicated server for NS 3b3
