<div class="IPBDescription">Why!??</div>UPDATE: There was some affinity issue on my machine. Fixed now. (S1 was 2,3,4 and S2 was 0-7, changed S2 to 5,6,7, problem fixed)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since upgrading the server to 230 i keep getting this constantly:

Too many moves to process in a frame(6 allowed, 6 run), discarding move.

It starts choking the server... anyone have any ideas why it's doing this??

Also:

"Client sent a move too far in the past" and similar message for the future!??

WTF?!??

    I got this to but I didn't notice any issues with the server. If anything is played better. I just assumed it was more debugging information so they could track down issues.

    Hmmm i moved some cores around, looks like server 1 was cores 2,3,4 and server 2 for some reason got un-restricted (0-7). I'll update the situation in a moment, so far the last 5 minutes have been ok.

    Confirmed, it was the affinity. Fixed.

    Hmm

    I checked my log and it has this too - however I am currently running a batch file where it automatically sets the affinities to 567

    not sure if it is lagging or not.

    also getting these?

    Client sent a move too far in the past (39380.23 ms behind)

    Client underflowed time credit (35.81 ms for move)


    etc

    I'm getting this information too on my Combat Mode server. She's running on an i5. Stock everything. This computer has a fresh install of Win7 (before I littered it with NS2 files). I just tried setting the affinity to cores 3 and 4. I'm still getting this 6 steps thing. Just wanted to give more information. I normally have solid performance <a href="http://ns2servers.devicenull.org/servers/30368/98.214.176.106:27011" target="_blank">ns2server link</a>

    edit: Also I just noticed this after updating to 230. Hope this helps!

    The "Too many moves to process in a frame" message is nothing new. It was always doing that, it just wasn't displaying the message. The other message about the client underflowing the time credit or sending a move too far in the future are part of the server-side verification of the client input. This is necessary to prevent speed hacking. Some of these messages will get logged under normal circumstances, but I left them in there so we could make sure that legitimate players were not being affected by the anti-speed hacking code.

    I have been getting this on my server since the 230 release and it is destroying my server.

    It will spam the console window with "Too many moves to process in a frame(6 allowed, 6 run), discarding move" enough to delay chat input by at least 3 seconds and will lag the game out until the performance is 0%.

    I already change the affinity and it is still doing the same thing.

    I will see this message come up about 18 times before seeing a "Client sent a move too far in the ...." message when the server is running fine.

    It usually happens near the end of the game and I have seen it on different maps. I only have standard ns2 maps running in the rotation at the moment so I am not sure if it does this on modded maps or not.

    It happens in an instant and not gradually. Everything is running fine one moment then it lags the server to a halt.

    Only mods I am running are ns2stats and DAK Admin Kit.

    Happens at random as some of my regulars and friends have stated that they played a few maps without any problems.

    Any ideas?

    It has been causing minor rubber banding to some players. the cpu also doesn't look to be over taxed at the time of the error.

    Just to check whether it's caused by something in my code... did anyone get this issue when the server wasn't running Combat Mode? I wonder if it's related to some of the OnUpdate hooks we're doing...

    Same for me on my server (with and without mod)
    i got this message like spam by 5-80 lines in one time causing freeze/lag
    Another issue but it's with the webadmin when we refresh it may causing freeze on my server.
    Before the 230 my server runing fine but since the last two build it's hard ....

    Wild guess: Could the console spam actually cause the performance problems? Writing the log is very disk intensive because afaik appending to files is broken and you have to rewrite the whole file every time you want a new line in. Could be totally wrong though.

  • ZEROibisZEROibis Join Date: 2009-10-30 Member: 69176Members, Constellation
    That does bring up the good point that the non ability to append files is an issue.

    If i refresh the web admin tool i will see those errors.

    If i refresh it lets say 5 times in a row - it will show those errors then the server tick rate goes to 1.

    Ever since the latest build i have been having the exact same problems. I always find when the match getting most hectic, either aliens finishing off marines or vice versa there is rubber banding. A symptom also not yet mentioned that I have had twice now, when it starts writing this line probably close to 30 times a second the server actually locks up, it still shows 24/24 but you cannot connect and the server requires a restart.

    I never had these issues before, I was even running 2 servers off the same machine no problem with plenty of hardware and bandwidth to spare for another server so I'm assuming there is now a problem with the server its self.

    Why is the debug code on by default?

    Should there not be a -debug line filter, that UWE can use on their official servers to garner this log info?
    How is making that spamming the console on servers UWE do not control, going to help them?


    EDIT:
    I have a server 2x Xeon 3.6GHZ and 8GB ram. I should be able to run at least 1x 16 slot server. I cannot. I have actually only tried to run a server on it since 230, so I don't how it would have gone in 228/229...

    being able to disable this debug would be great, this mass spamming of errors is most certainly causing the problem.

    Have we thought that the actual underlying problem causing the messages might be the issue, not the displaying of the message?
