Server Problems

[[DI]Pvt.Zetki]

Over the last 2 Battledays we have encountered numerous Server Crashes. We currently do not know the reasons behind them but ViperMaul is currently is looking through serveral RPT files to try and track down the source of the crashes. We apologise for the server crashes and hope to get back on track soon. We will keep you updated via this thread.

Just so people are aware...

If you can attend - I appreciate 1800Z on a weekday is hard for many US players - please do so...


Thanks Zetki and team.



We are going to update the MOD with some ACE bug fixes to the wound system.
And we are going to mirror the server setup on Jimmy's Server for emergency backup.

And we are going back to the Server Network Config of the last successful full 3 hour Fun Battle.


1800 GMT tomorrow (Monday) I am hoping we could get 25-30+ willing to come and test the new server configs. USA has a holiday so 1800 GMT might work.

If you will be here in the next hour to help us test I need you to do a couple of things get yourself ready.


Use this Direct Download v3.04 (128 MB) -> Click Here (http://www.arma-tow.com/downloads/updates/AToW-ACE-MOD_v3.04update.exe) <- Do Not Install Yet

Again do not install until we ask you for the 2nd or 3rd session of the test.



Thanks for those willing to test. I hope we can get at least 25+ players.

Thanks for those that showed up yesterday. We had as many as 14 people I gather.
Judging by the server RPT file comparing session 1 (using v3.03) and session 2 (using v3.04) it was very encouraging to see. We had no more Network Pending Error msgs.
And we got rid of some other RPT error msgs as well.

We will never know until we have at least the 30+ players. But we are on the right track.

Expect v3.04 (128MB) patch to be released later tonight. And v3.05 (~250MB) to be released Wed or Thursday. I know it is two files but it is necessary as ACE changed their build system.

Actually if you use the direct download link here or the updater, you will start v3.04 now. The MEPS server has been updated to v3.04.
