Hi,

 

i am the founder of our cod 4 squad, i am trying to stream our server.

 

the server runs fine for about 25 mins then the whole server just crashes, we get SERVER HAS DISCONNECTED.

 

i know its pb bans because ive left it off now for about 4 days with no probs and not had the server crash once.

 

i dont really wanna turn streaming off but if thats the only way we can get a game of cod 4 then thats what im gonna have to do

 

please help

I'm unable to locate any logs for your server. According to your team account information it's listed as a new server and has not been added to the Hub at this time.

 

Other than the timing of adding the streaming, what other reason leads you to believe streaming is causing your server to crash?

 

Have you reviewed the PB Logs at around the time of the crashes? It would be helpful review the logs to around the time of the crash.

well we had that server streaming before, it had been removed because the person who manages pb bans is not around this evening.

 

few days ago we had the server up for 4 days and not a single crash.

 

since then we turned pb bans back on this morning and had 5 crashes.

 

where can these logs be found ?

Also verify you have the correct PBucon profile. Only profiles of 0 or 1 are allowed.

 

The entry in the config file should be similar to the following:

 

PB_SV_UConAdd 1 64.27.21.46 pbbanshub pbbanshub

What version is your COD4 server (v1.6, v1.7, etc)?

Streaming does not cause server crashes Bro, we have 5,500+ servers streaming with np at all.

Your server was not streaming when the account was created.

We have logs that were streamed on 30 and 31 of December and today, thats it. (we have no logs for the 1 January)

You have a pbguidrelax setting of 7, that means any random keygen user can connect to your server and not get kicked.

To fix this you need to set a task pb_sv_task 60 300 pb_sv_guidrelax 0

Your heartbeat for the Hub task does not appear to be working, so your streaming will stop if the server is empty for long periods.

To fix this you need to set a task pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver

You have accept flags checked only.

Uncheck the accept flags and check the enforce bans flag, this will let the hub check every connecting player and not your server thus saving resources.

How many bans in your servers pbbans.dat ?

Do you run PBBans md5 /cvar scans ?

If yes whats the freq setting.

Do you run your own or another anti cheat sites md5 / cvar checks ?

Do you stream to another anti cheat site ?

After reviewing the PB log file, I do not see anything caused by streaming which would have attributed to the server crashing.

 

Along with the questions fozzer posted, please verify syntax/spelling of all commands in your configs (pb and server) are correct. Verify spelling of map names especially.

Here is a link to a generic COD4 pbsv.cfg file; http://www.pbbans.com/mci-view-pbsv-id27.html

 

There are many resources on the internet for the COD series game. FPS Admin is an example such a resource.

// Log Settings

set g_logsync "2" // 0=no log, 1=buffered, 2=continuous, 3=append

set logfile "1" // 0 = NO log, 1 = log file enabled

set g_log "games_mp.log" // Name of log file, default is games_mp.log

set sv_log_damage "1" //

 

 

Add that to your server configuration file. Then the logfile will log server errors and you can perhaps pinpoint the source of your crashing a little easier.

Can i jump into this? We don't have a crash issue as a lag issue to the point where in a gunship one second....freeze...then wallpaper (splat!) the next.

 

Can I PM an expert our config to look over? I PM'd bob (He gave me help before and I donated $200)but he must be busy. I will donate the same if I can get this fixed.

 

I had pbbans off on the server 72.51.40.216:17567 and no lag. Then when it was approved the same lag we experienced on our other 2 servers appeared.

 

Thanks in advance

Streaming in itself does not cause lag. Usually, lag can be attributed to poor configuration of the server, or perhaps having to many screenshot requests within to little time, how-ever. Do you also stream to other anti-cheat organizations? Below are the settings I use for ss on my cod4 servers with no noticeable lag at all. If you decrease the time between shots, or increase the size of the shot being taken, you will sometimes notice a short period of time where players "lock up" and can't move.

I see my pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 300 is 60 so I will adjust that. Also what about pb_sv_usessionlimit 16 is that too high? Thanks in advance for your advice.

nope ucon limit can reach the sky (but it needs places to stream before it will matter)

Thanks dan....well to answer the other questions.....we dont stream to any other cheat catching sites and its a full 2 sec freeze till you regain the proper spot you are in game. My ping is 9 and I dont have programs running in conjunction with bf2142 (turned off porn downloads....yeah c'mon if I just put what I was going you all would have added it anyway...hehe).

 

I have gone on other 2142 servers and noticed the same gap. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
