Dedicated server crashes

[grasn]

Hey,
i realy have a problem with the dedicated server. KF crashes the server about 1-2 times at a day. This is what is in the console.

Please fix or help :-)

*edit*
And again, i was playing and died, the server wanted to change the map and crashed. Here the log:

Ah so your bruce campbell

[grasn]

rofl, this is a guy who joined the server

That is the wierdest thing I have ever seen.

Your server is crashing because of 1 letter differences in class names. Notice the last 3 or so lines of each:

Unhashed name 'GNSArtilleryCamThrusterBlue'
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Unhashed name 'GNSArtilleryCamThrusterBlue'

Each of those should read ONSArtilleryCamThrusterBlue.

And here:

Unhashed name 'CarmaParamsCollision874'
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Unhashed name 'CarmaParamsCollision874'

They should read KarmaParamsCollision874.

I have NEVER seen anything like this before, so my guess is that your installation is borked, or your server is malfunctioning. Maybe a too high overclock could do this, incorrectly replacing letters (or just shifting them), something like seeing artifacts on your screen with too high of a graphics overclock.

Make sure, most importantly, that all your components are running fairly cool (look into memory especially) then check your computer with a stress test (prime95 or something simmilar) because it is errors like this that it would detect.

Rest assured, this is NOT a KF bug.

THN is relatively stable, it has crashed a few times, though, but with a game this buggy i'm not at all surprised.

Here's what brought us down when i tried to manually restart the map:

I think the few other times it crashed were due to me fiddling with it, too. The errors you see probably indicate an unstable system, be it harddrive or memory corruption or just a bad install. Still a strange way of crashing though, i would expect GPF's.

[DaJMasta]

Now your crash may actually be KF related, since it is happening in our code. Something worth looking into, seems like a zombie was caught looking for or attacking a target, and when the level was changed, it kept trying to find the target. Dosen't make it easy to fix in the slightest, since the zombie controller should be destroyed on the level switch, but it may be fixable.

[pestcontrol]

Well, the function is in Skaarjpack.MonsterController and not subclassed in KFMonsterController. I took a quick look, and the only thing i can think of is the controllerlist somehow looping causing the for loop to go indefinitely (note that bGameEnded is not set to true on a manual restart!). Which isn't possible as both Controllerlist and NextController are constants, and i don't think you've been bytehacking to get around that, have you?

Perhaps it's just a freak exception. Couldn't find any functions that could call eachother either, but i don't think that's possible with this error, anyway.

[grasn]

well it seems my ECE Bonus Pack installation is messed up. If this will still happen, i will reinstall and try again.

[grasn]

i reinstalled everything correct. still got the same errors and a new one

[moo]

im no expert to the ut2k4
but i am an expert with the unreal 1 engine ..fuck u if u think its shit

it looks kinda funky that error ...nreal Call Stack: FMallocAnsi::Free <- FMemStack::Exit
IP: especialy that bit ...

[pestcontrol]

Hmm, what was your name in Unreal1, moo? I happen to have started there, too.

The error doesn't look killing floor related, have you hosted other gametypes without problems? Is your libc up to date? Kernel version?

[moo]

my nick name was moo ..and always moo MOO THE GREAT !!!!

people should be walking around with im moo on theyr t-shirts ...like the im spartecus ones

that error should be some crap that only comes from servers not the engine itself
