Server crash after 10-15min continues about forgottenserver-orts HOT 13 CLOSED

http://otland.net/threads/10-31-the-forgotten-server-1-0-915.207351/

Try using that exe, seems like its a problem with tfs not the server. Myself and others are using that exe and we are not having have crash issues. Its pretty stable actually.

Just tried using the executable x64 of that release, it crashed anyway =(, gonna try the 32bits one

from forgottenserver-orts.

Are you using windows 8?

from forgottenserver-orts.

Nope, Windows 7, updating my trial from before, I ran the 32bits version and its up for more than 30 minutes now, any changes i'll let you know.

You should use a debugging tool to fetch detailed crash logs and report it to https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver

Quick tutorial (LINUX):

First install gdb. If you're running debian-alike (like Ubuntu, Debian, etc), you can do this with

apt-get install gdb
(use sudo if ubuntu)

Now load TFS into the debugger (Make sure your are in OT directory)

gdb ./forgottenserver

You will see 10-20 lines as gdb loads the server binary into memory, followed by the prompt:

(gdb)

Now type: run

(gdb) run

And the OT should start.
At this point your server is running.

Now you just wait for the server to eventually crash, you will see something like this:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

After the crash gdb will wait for you to type a command. Now to get to the actual useful part which makes it easier for TFS developers to fix, type "bt full":

(gdb) bt full

This will dump loads of information which the TFS devs can use to find the error. Copy this, open an issue on their github page, send it there and they will probably fix much quicker than usual.

When you have reported the bug, you can quick gdb with "quit" command.

(gdb) quit

And you are done. Repeat these instructions to start it again and look for another error. :)

That is if he is using linux, but since he wrote he is using windows 7 he has to recompile the server to make it generate crashlogs via mcvcv~ aka microsofts compiler.

But about this bug, since its pretty much 50/50 and those who actually use the exe I posted got it fixed im saying its a problem with tfs. The newest revs aren't always the best, just look at 0.4 etc.
But do as he said, try to generate a crashlog even tho someone else tried it but dien't get any good repsones on it. But maybe you are abit more lucky, lets hope :p.

Yeah, this issue seems to only happen on Windows 7 64x. All crash info I get is it's happening in the NPC onTHink()-function. I've spent probably 10-20 hours crashing this server over and over again but nothing seems to work. I don't know if it's just the sheer amount of NPC:s or a hidden bug that causes the memory issue. (it has a memory bug that ends with terminated ntdll.dll/kernelbase.dll, which is a generic memory issue for an application)

Do you all use the latest rev? I use 915 and have't had a single crash, and
my npc pack isent that diffrent. Gonna try with the latest npc folder and
see if I get the same error.

Yes, it's the latest rev from mark (like 5-7 days ago). It's been the same problem for months

from forgottenserver-orts.

And also, the server wont crash in debug mode (at least it didn't do that for me). the 32-version works perfectly fine though

from forgottenserver-orts.

try this commit by mark:

otland/forgottenserver@b6b7d29

from forgottenserver-orts.

I think this crash was fixed, it was casued by svargrond arena that stopEvent was in same function as the addEvent. But it got fixed on the latest commit at TFS engine.

from forgottenserver-orts.

I had the same problem. I just compiled to 32 bits and all works good :)
