HG Server Issue

[regnik]

Ill start with the question and you can read the background information if you want.

Can someone crash your HG Server and cause mini roll backs?



HG Server will run fine for like 5-10 hours. Then it will crash giving me a windows error send/dont send common diag. All I need to do is reload the HG Server and its back online, but 99% of the time there is a rollback to last data save point. At first I obviously assumed it was the hgserver coding or at least something to do with my configs.

After a few days of testing this issue, I noticed it did not matter how many users were on. Sometimes 10 sometimes 30. It would still crash. It also wouldnt always last 5 hours. Sometimes it will crash 3-4 times within 1hr and other times it will be fine for 10 hours.

I check all the gameserver logs I could read, and didnt notice any correlation with any issues im having. At first I thought maybe someone was logging in and crashing me. All the chars i tried to trace down turn out to be dead ends.

I am at a loss here, if it were DDoS the server would be laggy and dc but not rollback I presume, even so I dont have reports of lag.

I appreciate your feedback.

It shouldn't be reported in logs and it may not be someone doing it although it's still a possibility. If you have sources to it, hit debug when it crashes and find out why it's doing it.
