Topic: memory usage

i installed dedicated server file and used fs server launcher installed with server file.

when i checked all process, BF2142_w32ded.exe took the memory - aprox 918MB...@_@

how can it be? i also used BF2 server, then BF2_w32ded.exe file only took aprox 30MB memory.

Re: memory usage

There seems to be a memory leak in the dedicated server.
I can confirm from the Linux servers we run that they use 250mb+ on startup and keep increasing until the server restarts.

Would be great if any dev could look into that wink

Re: memory usage

Any information you can give (I.E. which map(s) are running during the memory increase) would be wonderful.  We are indeed looking into it smile

Re: memory usage

Hard to say, because on my testserver i have all maps in the rotation.
But i will keep an eye on that, maybe i can be more specific.

From the timing it seems that a full rotation (or just a map in that rotation) adds around 10-20mb ram usage (on a 16 player server that is).

Re: memory usage

Ive been trying to get my 50 player server up and running but this memory leak keeps shutting it down.

Its taking upto 900mb then the server crashes,the map is tatooine mosepa.

Re: memory usage

From the looks of all the MP games I've been in today, Endor is the bad map. All others run fine, but 5-10mins into Endor. Server crashes and client goes TDC. I would suggest, till fixed, all servers take out Endor of the rotation and all should be well.

Re: memory usage

I'm running a 32-slot dedicated server and I've taken the Endor map out of the rotation.  Currently, with 2 players in the game, the dedicated server is using about 850MB of RAM.
