Server.exe stops responding after 2000 Entity Count

Hey UWE.

Can we please fix this asap?

It seems the limit as to how much a server can handle for entity count is 2k

More than once instance where I've seen my servers crash/freeze because of this entity count going over 2k.

<a href="http://ns2servers.devicenull.org/servers/52074/199.192.205.182:27016/?date=12%2F06%2F2012" target="_blank">http://ns2servers.devicenull.org/servers/5...=12%2F06%2F2012</a>

Our servers are more than capable of handling 24 slots - and unfortunately it's the game coding not being able to handle it...

Thanks

    Something funky is happening here. Next time it happens, can you post the server logs?

    I am curious as to how you are hitting that 2000 cap, I checked a few other 24 slot servers and the max I have seen is 1500ish. It's possible you have a lot more stuff going on in your server but I would expect to see a few others with the same bug.

    Logs would be interesting to see.

    Well it happens on my Van and Chi server

    the only thing about the Chi server is that for some reason it is spammed with the "underflowed time credit" and also the "client moved too far in the past / future etc"

    If the Chi server is full for 24 hours, the log file is actually 500 Megs.

    I run a script which deletes all these errors / too many frames to process etc and the file becomes 2 Megs - it can go even lower if i decided to delete the lines that have the "consistency hashed" when the map loads :)

    but here is the end of the server logs - however I'm pretty sure there was those errors too that i erased

    Happened again on the Van server this time

    <a href="http://ns2servers.devicenull.org/servers/52401/24.86.96.240:27016/?date=12%2F08%2F2012" target="_blank">http://ns2servers.devicenull.org/servers/5...=12%2F08%2F2012</a>

    no weird logs or anything in the last 5 mins of the server freezing.
