33+ in zones causes ms rise/eventual boot

[Uleat]

It's a known issue .. and, unfortunately, we don't have a solution for it atm.

Two of our devs worked months on end trying to isolate the cause of that to no avail.

Part of the problem is being able to reliably reproduce it. (It only affects windows servers...)


Can you post a few things about your server?


* Are you running it on a local computer or a hosting service?


* Does it run on the main os or in a vm?


* Are you using pre-compiled binaries (eqemu_server.pl/installer downloaded) or do you compile your own?


* Are these BOTS or non-BOTS binaries?


* Can you post a few examples of zones being affected by this?

I was always curious about this particular issue. I remember way back when Akka announced on the EZ forums that they had switched over from windows to linux. Has this been a problem throughout the history of Emu>windows ?

Yes. I remember having this problem as far back as 2007-2008.

Ya, I had my server going in 2010'ish, but I didn't have a big population, so I never saw 30+ players in one zone at a time. I love to be able to experience this (test), but it makes it kind of hard, since a test box would need those 30+ test players, lol
