is there a way to wait a bit in the lobby before it loads the next map in the rotation? i noticed sometimes the server crashes on mapchange so i wanna try and see if this works, + its just nice for people to say GG and stuff :P

Yeah, I ask the same. And It does not only crash the server, it crashes my game as well if I am inside the server because as the server crashes it must start again, and when it starts it minimizes my game which means crash in this BETA.

Back again, server seems fine, unless it switches a map it POSSIBLY kick me out -.- it wont crash but in server console give message: Session Deleted, probably the lobby session, but is still online and i can rejoin.... into the new map.

And now it just worked fine...

Ill see tomorrow morning if its still up ;)

@Hernan_ER: Maybe in your case its better and more logical to run a listen server, aka ingame server?

As far as i know a dedicated server is ment to be run on its own machine for best perormance, hence the word dedicated, just a tip, saves you crashcrap also...And you can manage the lobby. :)

Can someone try to make server with 32 slots and tell if it works?

To do it - use this var:

Variable : "sv_maxplayers"
Type : int
Help : Maximum number of players allowed to join server.
Example : "sv_maxplayers 16"

I wanna add:

Use "wait_seconds" instead of "gl_startgame" in server.cfg since gl_startgame is bugged and might crash the server during the match.

i.e. wait_seconds 25


i got a bit confused here, i meant use wait_Seconds instead of g_nextlevel in server.cfg, it doest the same but its more stable and lets you set the wait time betwen maps

I think everyone is already annoyed with "Terminate batch job (Y/N)" message, which stops your server from auto-restart after crash.

I have made a little PowerShell script, that starts dedicated server and in case of crash, restarts it within 5 seconds.
So you don't need to keep an eye on server anymore.
PowerShell is very popular and powerful Microsoft scripting engine, you probably already have it preinstalled. If not, download it here (Windows Management Framework Core at the bottom of the page)

First you have to allow local script execution (this is one time procedure):
Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. Open Command prompt (Start-Run-cmd.exe-OK)
  2. Run PowerShell - 'Powershell'
  3. Enable powershell script executing - 'Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned'
  4. Exit PowerShell - 'exit'


In root folder of game create 'server.ps1' file with following text:

Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. while (1)
  2. {
  3.     Write "Starting server"
  4.     $proc = [Diagnostics.Process]::Start("Bin32\Crysis2DedicatedServer.exe", "+exec server.cfg")
  5.     $proc.WaitForExit()
  6.     Write "Server closed. Restarting in 5 seconds."
  7.     Start-Sleep -Second 5
  8.     Write " "
  9. }


and the file 'server.bat' with following text:

Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. @echo off
  2. PowerShell -File "server.ps1"


Now run server.bat, then try to close server, you will see that it started again after 5 seconds.

Will that function also automaticly kill the crashinfo screen of the cryengine?

(Leave a thank you post, if you think this was useful for you, spent much time trying to solve this sucky problems)

(Tip) Here i use firedaemon to enable all my gameservers core affinity, priority, and manage restarts etc. but doesnt help when crysis gives the nice crash report, restarts after crashinfo report is closed.... x( (FIXED thx nomad)

The wait command works, thanks for the info:
g_nextlevel wait_time 25

My server kicks people out session 15 seconds before end of SOME rounds and says: session deleted in console for the "player" that "leaves", but server stays online...., with an critical exeption while reading the system.cfg.??? -.-

I tried loading the system.cfg via shortcut, so it basicly would only load at server startup, but nogo yet....

I cleaned the cfg.s out to the minimum requirements, so the server runs "cleaner"

You could use these in your startpost, they,re alot cleaner for server, since alot of commands are only for clients :)

My system.cfg:
(this clean .cfg also fixes server startup error bcuz: useonlineservice = listed)

Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. sys_game_folder=GameCrysis2
  2. sys_dll_game=CryGameCrysis2.dll
  3. sys_user_folder=Crysis2
  4. sys_no_crash_dialog=1 ; Thx Nomad!
  5. g_useOnlineServiceForDedicated = 0
  6. net_profile_socket_budget 512 ;(just added from startpost, will be testing tonight)


My server.cfg:
Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. sv_levelrotation = "levelrotation"
  2. sv_servername = Crysis2CrashFixReTest
  3. sv_password = ""
  4. net_setOnlineMode = 1
  5. net_enable_voice_chat = 0
  6. sv_cheatprotection = 0    ;(1,2 or 3)
  7. ;(probably not working, since names arent even registered in ;server ie: Ban/Kick)
  8.  
  9. sv_gs_report = 0 ;(GameSpyServer not up yet...)
  10. sv_gs_trackstats 0 ;(Only ranked servers)
  11. sv_ranked = 0
  12. sv_dumpstats = 1
  13. ;(dumps/saves? clients progresses/stats in file on server)
  14. sv_enableNetLimbo = 1  
  15. ;(TestTest with limbo state for connecting clients (my disco problem 15 sec b4 end, nogo yet i think)
  16. gl_skip = 1
  17. g_useOnlineServiceForDedicated = 0
  18. g_nextlevel wait_Seconds 25


Levelrotation.xml:
Code: Select all | Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1.  
  2. <levelRotation randomize="0">
  3. <level name="cw2_rooftop_gardens" gameRules="InstantAction">
  4. </level>
  5. <level name="cw2_alien_vessel" gameRules="TeamInstantAction">
  6. </level>
  7. <level name="cw2_lighthouse" gameRules="CrashSite">
  8. </level>
  9. <level name="cw2_collided_buildings" gameRules="InstantAction">
  10. </level>
  11. <level name="cw2_church" gameRules="InstantAction">
  12. </level>
  13. <level name="cw2_city_hall" gameRules="InstantAction">
  14. </level>
  15. </levelRotation>


This is a simplified testrun cfg to check minimal loadage of bs ^^
But overall should be alot cleaner, and runs fine here.

I run these files in my crysis root in seperate folder called dedi (look earlier posts)

Server runs great!! but the unexplainable system.cfg exeption error kills me!!!, especially when server is used and it kicks people out EXACLY 15 seconds before the end of game! GRRRR, and noone ever rejoins after it, since it takes 20-30 secs before next map is loaded from that moment (15 secs left on map/25 wait_time/and 3.5 seconds map loading from server...

Please give some feedback on this, how it works etc... or just a thx for the effort ;)

@ post under here: OMFG THX I LOVE YOU (not in a gay way x) )

Hi thanks,

Why to 1?
It,s probably for the online matchmaking system of xboxlive and ps3online, and 0 works just as well :), not loaded when not needed, should be better imho :)
If the whole command is taken out system.cfg OR server.cfg server fails to show online :)

I,m only here to help explain crysis server crashes, if not needed its good also ^^

You Could take some more commands out the startpost ^^, to make it look more pro, dont worry, with some help of others, you still will be the first who fixed it :) together we optimize it :)
If i find some nw stuff ill post it here :)

Edit: my damn name in game, i cant change it... stays at stupid pc-admin name, tried a few things, but nogo, anyone a tip?

Well, one time I set it to 0 because I was thinking just the same, and it turned out it didn't work... Maybe bad luck ? ^^

Sure, we made this together anyway :D !
But there's a reason I let some commands in the first post, less is better, but sometimes better is good's ennemy (if you know what I mean)
