Linux server crashes when Game Starts

[Richy]

To explain, the server runs fine by itself... as soon as a player connects and tries to start the game the server will crash.

The errors I get:

WARNING: Thread 'main': idGameLocal::ServerClientDisconnect Client Slot Not Empty with Disconnected Client
WARNING: idBitMsg::WriteBits: value overflow -2147483356 9
FATAL ERROR: idClip::DeleteClipModel called from a thread other than the main thread

I get some others during startup but these are relating to the map?

Also in the demonware_server.log I have:

2007-08-16 11:21:07 : libs/DemonWare/DemonWare-1.80/bdLobby/bdMatchMaking/bdMatchMaking.cpp(231):
WARNING: Transaction ID 1323940377550356539:5345005501000614400 failed. (101)

[verbal]

having exactly the same problem :/

[Richy]

Very odd.... I can't see the problem.

I'm using savePath and homePath or without that it doesn't work.

Just dies once I try and start a game... are you using bots?

[Richy]

Ok, disabled bots and it still crashes as soon as the game is about to start.

Does anyone have a working Linux server? :D

[hackjoe]

I have one that works fine. 3Ghz P4, 512Mb RAM, CentOS 4.5 (LAN server only).
Tried it with bots too.

[Richy]

Cool.. I wonder whether it is a config setting then...

Did you use the config generator?

I used the config generator that comes with the game, running a windows server until the linux server came out.

I will post the configs tomorrow.

[Deemer1]

I've got a linux public Server that is running great...

connect to

redbirdhost.com

[Richy]

Tried both in and out of screen, no success.

Same errors... very odd :(

Yes, I read, but my Linux kernel version is 2.6.8-2-686.
Thanks

[verbal]

i had the same "FATAL ERROR: idClip::DeleteClipModel called from a thread other than the main thread" problem on end of warmup, but fixed it by updating the kernel to 2.8 (debian).

hope that helps someone

[SaltyBallz]

similar problem here, I got kernel 2.6.8 though
I can't start the server with screen -A -m -d -S
instead I have to open a new screen and then run.sh inside - somehow that works but it crashes as soon as one map is over and the next is about to start

[8Ball]

We had other problem, but in our case it was the kernel. But i cant say to u what we changed because its selfmade kernel from our admin.
But if u still have probs u can msg me, scripts to start the servers u can find in that part of the forum (page 2 or something).
But make sure u have the right kernel ;)

8ball@etqw.com

[Richy]

Mine was Kernel related too, had a really early version of 2.6 updating has fixed this :)
