Server: Network message XXXXXX is pending

[Brutus]

Since the server moved to mod 1.0.4.2 the arma2oaserver.RPT spawned with those error 

and getting constant come and go yellow and red chain

 

What's the problem and what to do for fixing this?

These are what I have set. and the msg's went poof.

Axle,

 

Did you by chance take the 

MinBandwidth=204800000;

MaxBandwidth=1600000000;

 

away as suggested in a few posts before hand. 

 

Mine currently

 

MinBandwidth=204800000;

What do you recommend about these settings? I made some adjustments based on what you said, but is there anything else I should tweak here?

[NUTTER]

 

Looks good to me, could probably increase the min bandwidth or just remove it all together - I've not noticed any real difference specifying the min/max (especially during peak loads).

 

I generally try one setting, monitor the server during peak and then swap the settings around a bit and try the next night at peak.

 

 

 

Well, you certainly shouldn't see these messages with only two players - the server must really be struggling.

 

What's your server FPS (in chat box, #login <rcon pass> hit enter, then type #monitor <interval> and hit enter, where interval is the amount of seconds you want information to be reported)?

Dedicated box? Or hosting with a "server provider"?

 

Either a mod is eating up all your CPU cycles, or something is severely wrong with the hardware/network where it's being hosted

 

[Shizweak]

something wrong with the host more like something wrong with the actual  mod itself

[GGDayZ]

 

MGT mentioned on the github that reducing his MaxMsgSend to 256 in the basic.cfg is working better for his servers running 1.0.4.2a.

MinBandwidth=1097152;
MaxBandwidth=524288000;
MaxMsgSend=256;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=512;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=128;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.025;

adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=93750;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
serverLongitude=2;
serverLatitude=49;
serverLongitudeAuto=2;
serverLatitudeAuto=49;

confirmed. been testing it for 2 days now, less RPT spam with 50 players.

No difference at all for me I'm afraid. Still getting way more errors than is reasonable.

 

Can't get the server FPS as requested either thru Dart or BERcon...some reason the commands are unrecognised.

 

I'm still confused why with the same bunch of addons I've had since day one, these errors have only become prevalent since 1.0.4.

[LancerSolurus]

You need to play on the server then type those commands in the chat window to make them work (the #monitor command), make sure you have logged in as an admin first using #login yourbattleyepassword

How many objects in the objects table?

Shared host or dedicated host?

Peak players?

 

(post the server fps and data in/out at a peak time also, once you figure that out)

Thanks for the input guys. Had a quick look this morning with only 2 players on. Will edit this post later when it gets busier;

 

1707 Objects in database

Hosted by DeluxeGaming (so i guess thats shared)

Peak players was about 18/20, but that was a one off. Average is about 10 on at a time.

Server FPS this morning was hovering between 41 and 46.

[Shizweak]

And you were still seeing network messages pending during that period?

[Stranger]

If you change that network message stuff, no Players with provider vodafone / arcor / o2 can connect to the servers anymore. Vodafone prevents from accepting packages in a size they dont want to.

If some players have trouble to join your server - change the settings back to normal!

[Kroenen]

And you were still seeing network messages pending during that period?

Yes. Had more time today to check further. This was with 6 players online, messages spamming as usual;

 

1811 objects in database

FPS - 19-20

MEM - 694MB

OUT - 242kbps

IN - 942kbps

 

The IN/OUT seems to fluctuate alot, but I'd expect that.

 

Hope that helps some. One thing I have noticed, is the RPT can be running normally, then all of a sudden, you get a thousand lines of these network error messages, then it disappears for a while again. Doesn;t seem to be any pattern on what happens preceding it either.

[Sukkaed]

I get best results when I don't put anything in basic.cfg. This is all I have in it.

MaxCustomFileSize=0;
Windowed=0;
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=1;
Resolution_Bpp=32;

The only setting which will affect this is maxPacketSize inside the sockets declaration, which is the MTU - setting it above 1400 will start to cause issues. You can even put it in lower to mid 1300's if others are having issues.

[MGT]

Just posting our basic.cfg we are having success with.

 

In a 3 hour restart period it's around 600-700kb with 7k items in database and constant 50 players. Paste this in and on restart the latitude and longtitude are automatically inserted. MaxCustomFileSize optional for custom faces.

What sort of server FPS are you seeing at peak load MGT, and hardware specs if you don't mind?

[MGT]

Server FPS at peak is 15fps on Cherno

Intel Xeon 8 core, 32gb ram, 2tb raid 0

Are you using any AI's? Thats pretty amazing fps with 50 players. I can't get even close to that and I have only 4000 objects atm and running more than enough powerful server.

[Deeplînk]

15fps? Wow! We have an i7 8 core 4,2GHz with SSD and only 3fps with 50player / 7000 objects

[Deeplînk]

Additional Question to MGT:

Can you tell me your server startup parameters?

[MGT]

Additional Question to MGT:

Can you tell me your server startup parameters?

 -noSound -world=empty -maxMem=2047 -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=1 -noPause -noCB

[Deeplînk]

We have cpucount=2. We also have tested 4, but same server fps.

Server runs with 2-3fps with 50 Player. After restart we have 8fps for 5-10 minutes.

 

Server mods only selfblood, take clothes, buildsnapping and infistar Antihack.

Any idea? Can you tell me your mysql my.ini settings?

Are you running the mysql server on the same machine?

[Stranger]

What exactly does "-world=empty" and "-noCB" do?
