Re: exiter.exe

Everything runs nice and smooth until the exiter application starts going crazy. tongue then requires a manual closing of the application (restart of the gameserver) then things run as normal again.  It's a random occurance and nothing unusual is going on when this happens.

Re: exiter.exe

I'll look into it, but Gwynzer feel free to explain how you set it up to run without it.  I think you had it update, then just turned off the updater, right?

Re: exiter.exe

Can the exiter.exe application be removed, as it is not necessary and causes extreme performance problems in a production gameservers environment.  Along with the additional changes that were made that are out of the norm for regular mods updates, and general running of dedicated servers.

Re: exiter.exe

Just turn it off with taskmanager -> processes once the server is up to date.  At least, I am led to belive that is how the BlackIntel server admins did it, I'll double check then post back.

Re: exiter.exe

I've got things working correctly, but by default this and the extras running should not be there.  For gameserver admins that do not have remote desktop access to their servers ( due to them having ranked servers BF2, BF2142, ETQW, etc. ) I have to make manual changes to their server in order for them to run a first strike server without the extra stuff running causing problems.  The mod is one of the best there is for 2142, but these extras are killing it performance wise for those running the game in a dedicated server environment.

Server side nothing should need to be modified (except a command line or configuration files if needed) to run 2142 mods except for copying required files from the default directory to the mod directory if needed.
