Game suddenly started freezing

Post by CanadaWest »

Hi Kent,

Our game has started freezing suddenly.

Only 9 players online. PMServer stops responding. Logged onto server and was unable to open the program from the syste tray. No response.

Could perform other tasks. Copied Crash Protect Files, checked email (just to see if I could). Task Manager shows PMServer pegged at 99% CPU usage.

Ended task and restarted PMServer. Reregistered the 9 players in a new tourney. 10 minutes later it freezes again. Same as above.

Nothing. No error log for August 18th at all.

That alone is strange. There seems to be one for every other day.

How about the event log? Anything unusual during the 10-minute session that froze? Was anyone seated and playing? Is it still freezing today? Any problems prior to yesterday?

Below is the relavent Event Log. Game started at 19:00 was 16 tables of 2. Sort of a simple Heads-Up tourney.
I think 12 were registered for the tourney, 9 were playing. 3 No-Shows were removed.
There will be no players online today until around noon.

I would have suspected that an error was occuring when the No-Shows were removed with 2 seats per table (the timing looks right), but we ran exactly the same format on Monday with no issues.

There's something odd with all those disconnects, about 1 minute apart and most involving just 2 IP addresses.

Yeah check the hand history files and see where the time stamps fit into that list.

If you do have those hand history files, please zip those up (all tables in the tournament that froze) and email them to me. I see an issue in my code where the tables aren't being rebalanced properly after the no-show removal and I need to see if I can replicate the conditions you had at the time.

Sorry about the delay, Kent. Other work.

The HH from the 18th shows the two attempts to run the tourney ending at 10 minutes past the start. In both instances, that was the end of the first level, when No-Shows would be removed.

I have included the HH from the same tournament that ran on the 17th. You can see it apparently worked flawlessly.
