[BUG][Dedicated version: 22-May] Crashing dedicated server with much players.

[toffe]

Hello there,

During the Spam Weekly (the first in MP4) we got several issues, such as the lags when switching modes (viewtopic.php?f=601&t=41344) the scoreboard issue (viewtopic.php?f=601&t=41238) and the most frustrating issue the crashes and unstable dedicated server.

I can't find anything in the log files, in the system logs or any other logs. Please work on those issues as much players will give up on playing large cups and events, and eventually give up on playing trackmania.

I will crosspost this with several of the found issues, and update the post if I found out some things about the situations.

EDIT After looking at the syslog logs of the machine it was caused by a linux OOM (Out Of Memory killer). Maniaplanet server was using 922372 rss. This means: 922372 * 4kb = 3689488 KB of memory usage (3,7 GB memory).

This is fully related to the other issue reported out there: viewtopic.php?f=561&t=41337

I hope this issue will be solved as soon as possible, this is ruining a HUGE tournament that I am hosting, not only does it bring over 1000+ players per month to the game. People see it as a fun tournament during the weekends....

I hope this can be solved indeed real soon.
What will happen with these huge events if it is not possible to run them anymore? After all such events are really loved by the community, and give each and everyone a chance to compete with each other and have fun!

So i really hope this issue will be investigated and fixed in a short notice!

These bugs really need to be fixed ASAP in my opinion.

Events like Spam's weekly, ESL cups, smurfscups and any other cup are bringing people to this game and without these this game is pointless.
