I assume it looks for a master server to tell people your server is there, then when it can't it just doesn't start. Just a guess though, glad you got it fixed!

Hey,

I might be able to help with this...

Are you using BVRM/BFSM? If so, I assume you get lots of errors when you try to enable internet mode and restart the server? Even if not, try the below.

You need to edit your hosts file to point to a different location for a master server, I've used qtracker for ours:
https://www.qtracker.com/master-gamespy.php
or more specifically:
https://www.qtracker.com/master-gamespy-hostfile.php

Not sure if there are others, but this works for us. If it doesn't, let me know. I've got 2 BFV servers running so hopefully it wont be too difficult.

The RM will remain connected, but the game server itself will be crashed, so it needs to be stopped and started before anyone can rejoin. I say crashed, but when checking it on another server I have root access to, the process is still alive but running at 100% CPU. It's impossible to join before a restart and will show with a ping of 9999

Our main server is rented, and I have FTP access. Not helpful, I know, but the host has always been helpful before so I'm hoping that, if needed, they'd be willing to get further information to assist in getting this fixed.

Hey,

Thanks for your response!

Player numbers make no difference, we can have 2 players or 20. When we ban the player in question, or don't let him get his way, the crashing starts and he's admitted to being responsible.

I can't tell you if we have iptables running on this server, it's rented from a hosting company unfortunately, but I know they do have a firewall as they've blocked IP's for us before.

Hey,

I'm hoping someone here can help me out...if it's not the right place or whatever, then I apologise.

I run a server in Battlefield Vietnam, but recently a former disgruntled player has been crashing our server as we wont let him get his way.

When it happens, we get the following RM error:
Couldn't send message to console! Resource temporarily unavailable (11)

On the one server I was able to get more info, the CPU seems to max out to 100%.

From what I understand, our Linux binaries are patched with the patches that were provided for some of the other exploits, and we're running v1.21, the latest patch. I'm personally running low on ideas, and considering I believe some of the people here were key in patching both BF1942 and BFV servers, which I'd like to thank you for, I was hoping I could get the help I needed with this issue too.

If there's anything else you need from me, I'll do my best to get it for you. I'd just like for myself, and our other players, to be able to play the game.

Regards,
SucceededKiller
