Niuva

Ah, that is good to hear. My server has been up for around 14 hours now; people aren't reporting such issues occurring anymore. I guess it fixed it self, even tho I didn't really do anything?

According to Steam - no. Oddly enough, it's been stable for at least an hour now. People have been connecting an playing on it. Even tho I changed the ram allocation to 12 gigs, it kept crashing - but after a few crashes it seems to .. work. Neatly even shows up in the server browser and all. Odd.

This happens even with only one player. I haven't actually tweaked anything ram related, it is as is; out of the box. I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the documentations on the forums before? Edit: Apparently it is set to 2gigs. Edit 2: Now I've set it to 12 gigs; still occurring.

It's hosted on a Windows machine. Basically it's my old spare sitting in a corner, with an i7 and 16 gigs of ram, which I turned into a server.

Heya folks! I've been fiddling around and trying to get my server functional, but I've run to a problem that I just cannot figure out - don't know if it's a problem at my end, or if the early state of the alpha multiplayer is to blame. Anyway, here goes: My ports are open (16261-16326, both TCP and UDP ) and even tried setting the server outside the DMZ, with disabled firewall and Antivirus(Not recommended, but only for troubleshooting). People can connect, but after a short time interval new areas stop to load for them, locking the player down to a small limited area, with black borders around it. Zombies still are active and everything in the limited playable area is functional. Manually disconnecting or attempting to quit at this point crashes the player client. Such issue does not appear on other servers for me, only on mine so far. Here are the excerpts from the consoles when the 'incident' happens, both server and client.
