Title: FIXED: Random Waypoints - CPU killer
Post by: Rommel92 on 24 May 2009, 01:55:02

A random point I've noticed, and want to see if theirs any feasibility to the notion.

I have map running persistent;
its flooded with random placed waypoints.
its taking the server down to 2FPS after about 4 hours.

No addons, and now no scripts with same issue. I can only imagine its the way points that are doing this?

Flooding is always a good way to create a DoS... ;)

What are the exact symptoms? Is the CPU load 100% or is the server swapping to death or both?
Did you check how many waypoints exist when the server starts to break down?

We don't actually have full control over the server, but the #monitor return is giving us the FPS of 2 after four hours.
Debug checks return at: 0000h 47fps // 0100h 36fps // 0200h 29fps // 0300h 17fps // 0400h 3fps
With variation of course, but no more then +- 4.

I haven't checked that far yet, I'm just eliminating all possible sources of error in regards to add-ons (had some minor ones loaded).

Fixed: Turns out it was just some loaded addon (GMJ_Sight adjustment) that was killing the server.
