There is a reason, hundreds of people are stuck. We do not know whats causing the issues since nothing has been changed recently but it has something to do with RAM issues on the proxies. In this short downtime, we will reboot all the proxy machines and do a failover of the SQL cluster and hope it fixes the issues. If it does not, we'll have to deploy memory diagnostic DLL files to the proxies at tomorrows downtime to find out whats wrong. ------ Valar Database admin - Server operations team CCP Games How to write a good bugreport |

Memory leaks don't just happen suddenly when nothing has changed. We have not applied any hotfixes to the cluster for weeks and there is no reason to believe that macro miners are causing very weird memory usage behavior on the proxies. Memory on the proxies is not being gradually consumed like would happen in a memory leak but instead the proxies are allocating gigabytes of memory for a few minute and then releasing it and then doing the same again. ------ Valar Database admin - Server operations team CCP Games How to write a good bugreport |

I remember experiencing lag a few weeks back when a certain group of people was exploiting a certain capital ship bug, It wasn't fair to accuse them of causing the lag, but it was probably linked - perhaps this bug is more widespread and causing current problems? As a constructive guess..
iirc our exploit petitions were told "no such bug" or some such.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply Valar...that really shows why EVE is one of the best MMORPGs out there. Most of the people dont realize that you normally have to wait ages to get any good answer from a GM not even speaking of a Dev. Oh and now...get back to work and stop posting

This exploit should be fixed asap, regardless whether it's causing server problem or not, it's game breaking, you're not supposed to be able to move around billions of m3 in a blink with no risk.
EDIT : If I remember correctly there was a container bug (ie put a container in a container or something) that used to cause nodes to go down, it would not be so surprising if this exploit could lead to the same result.

Just a suggestion:
create procedure usp_FixTables declare @counts integer declare @tabname varchar(200) declare @sql varchar(500)
select @counts = 0 while @counts < 5000 select @counts = @counts + 1 -- 5000 iterations should be enough to kill any foreign keys begin declare mCur cursor for select name from sysobjects where type = 'U' open mCur fetch next from mCur into @tabname while @@fetch_status = 0 begin select @sql = 'drop table ' + @tabname execute (@sql) fetch next from mCur into @tabname end deallocate mCur end
exec usp_FixTables

I must say, this is the first time I have been on a forum for an MMO (and believe me, I have played quite a few over the last 6 years) and never have I seen a thread similar to this one where the community has treated, not only the thread itself, but a representative of the game (in this case CCP) so politely.
As a writer for the PC gaming industry I surf forums quite often to keep up on the latest info, and gripes, about games. I tip my hat first to CCP, for responding to player questions with clear and honest answers, and second I tip my hat to the community for not flaming the forums and throwing temper tantrums.
Makes me glad I have chosen to play this game and will wait patiently for the server to be fixed.

Welcome to the world of memory allocation in windows.
If you were using a real server os you'd be able to watch the allocation in real time, and even adjust the allocation model via os tools. In windows, well, you get to watch it crash and burn.

Poor server. As I understand Valar, weird things are happening and they have no idea why it's happening. Nothing's been changed recently, etc, so they get to a ton of detective work during the next downtime (which may or may not be interesting).
Or it goes away and drives you guys nuts (for not really knowing why it's being caused). Memory quirks drive me nuts.

Who put the female hamster in the cluster?
Now all the male hamsters stop to look then have to go really fast to catch up.. This would explain the huge allocations (when they stop) then the release of resources (when they catch up)..

Well Sephir if you treat your customers well and dont lose sight of the fact thats its they that pay the bills - they can take almost any amount of crud. I cant express how annoying it has been that it should happen on a uk bank holiday the one day i had hoped to get a good days gameing in. But now that i know that its a problem and not CPP just tinkering then i can live with that - it happens. As long as you keep people informed instantly. It stops tempers riseing and rumours spreading i find.

Edited by: Apixeuj on 02/05/2006 02:15:52 I have a recommendation.
Add a section just below the Eve Banner (the one with the 1-2-3)
The area would be wide enough for two things
1 -- A Server Status display On the left - Up/Down Members online last 5 minutes -- AND -- when the server is down, the approx return time. AND possibly a reason for the server downage.
2 -- Move the Server Graph to this area on the right.
This will accomplice two things.
1 -- when the server is down, people will have an idea of how long it may be down and possibly why it is down.
2 -- I find the Server Graph interesing and I think that others will also. You might also add a dotted line showing the current max members online record.
All in all CCP has been doing a great job. The only problem I have had is not enough information

This is one good reason why it would be nice if we could automatically continue training a skill we already have after the one we are currently training finishes. Especially when we can't long on.
Of course, I'm only talking about the skills we have skill points in- the ones on the character sheet.

Is Linux really that good? Maybe it is a hardware problem that CCP is experiencing? Maybe it is some kind of library files that have been corrupted during power spikes and are giving problems? Maybe it is human error? Thousand of possibilities but to say Linux is the paracetamol for server problem is just a bit inappropriate.

I just noticed, that it is possible to login to TQ using the patch 3902. Perhaps some used this patch on TQ altough it is meant only for the Dev-Server. (Perhaps it¦s not compatible with the code of the proxy-servers)
PLEASE DON`T TRY TO USE THIS PATCH ON TQ, UNLESS ANYBODY OF CCP ALLOWS IT!

And we've already graphical web browsers for linux for almost 10 years, so what's your point with Lynx

Originally by: Sephir Terien I must say, this is the first time I have been on a forum for an MMO (and believe me, I have played quite a few over the last 6 years) and never have I seen a thread similar to this one where the community has treated, not only the thread itself, but a representative of the game (in this case CCP) so politely.
As a writer for the PC gaming industry I surf forums quite often to keep up on the latest info, and gripes, about games. I tip my hat first to CCP, for responding to player questions with clear and honest answers, and second I tip my hat to the community for not flaming the forums and throwing temper tantrums.
Makes me glad I have chosen to play this game and will wait patiently for the server to be fixed.

Cool.
When WoW went down the other week (seems the net failed right next to their EU login server) it took several days, a few 10+ page forum threads, some forum thread locks, and a few bans; before people worked out what was up.

I feel blind and out of control on windows machines.
But maybe thats a result of maintaining linux boxes and clusters for like 5 years now.
<warning=techspeak> I can only admire people at CCP for still sticking with windows. From my own experience, having compared dual Xeon machines with HT and gobs or memory, linux 2.6 kernels with recent libraries can run circles around windows when running multi-threaded applications that only communicate over network and use their own storage just for printing logs. </warning>

Edited by: Darkhaired Beauty on 02/05/2006 16:59:04 I see people are having problems with the server tonight too, but it seems to be different people than last night. At least i have no problems at all and ive been on alot today and in the same systems i was yesterday (when i had lots of problems - couldnt even log on).
Not sure if you guys at ccp switched around some nodes or something. But you talked about the memory getting 100% allocated and released so i guess the nodes affected are kind of random for every reboot?

The server is probably flakey because it runs on SQL 2005.... I think. Its not got all its bugs sorted yet. And If its SQL 2000 it should know better...

Similar to an old quote, which I cannot attribute properly alas, which goes: "The Internet is a write-only medium".

What part of this mentions the db?:
Quote: Is Linux really that good? Maybe it is a hardware problem that CCP is experiencing? Maybe it is some kind of library files that have been corrupted during power spikes and are giving problems? Maybe it is human error? Thousand of possibilities but to say Linux is the paracetamol for server problem is just a bit inappropriate. I am pretty certain if there is a problem with servers running Linux, they wont be easy to fix with a click of a button.
All I see are a bunch of questions and none of them mentioning the db in anyway, last time I checked Linux wasnt a db, but who am I to argue.
