Duel servers crashing (1.04)

[Arker]

Running 5 servers, of which 2 are duel servers. Both duel servers keep crashing (about 5 times a day), while the other 3 (ffa, teamffa, ctf) never crashed once. All servers run on the same machine (1.2ghz dual p3, 1gb ram, win2k).

Any ideas why this happens, and how to fix it? I'd be very grateful for any tips.

 

thanks in advance!

Hi.

 

I run 14 duel servers, and I have approx 1 reload pr day totally.

Quite stable.

 

Please post details about your OS, start-string/script/bat-file and server.cfg

 

You are wellcome to read about my setup

[Arker]

Os is win2k, doubt that'd affect the duel servers only (theres 3 other non duel servers running on the same machine, perfectly stable).

Heres the config of one of the 2 duel servers (without the sets stuff):

Many recommend that sv_fps "50" should be set to 20.

 

Why do you have seta sv_allowDownload "1" ?

 

How did you make the cfg-file ?

[Arker]

sv_allowdownload is 1 because I'd like to have a particular set of custom skins/models downloadable, the skin/model-files aren't yet up on the server though.

 

Made the config by cutting & pasting together from a couple of example configs that people had sent me, and from one of the sticky threads above.

P.S. i'll fix sv_fps right away. thanks

Hmm, care to elaborate on what these variables do. I was just curious.

 

I also am trying to run 2 servers on one Win2000 server. I have made two separate directories, one for each server. Someone said that it runs better with separate folders. I just set this up so I'm not sure if its helping or not. I'll let you know if it helps me.

rivmin, some people like to have custom maps on their servers and allow people to download them rather then having to hunt down each map the server uses
