Dedicated server (' on save boots evrybody ')

Post by Triskelen »

Hello all

I'm currently trying to run a dedicated server the map size is the 4096 x 4096 and not using any NewGRF at all.
When the server does the autosave after 12-months it disconnects everybody even me (' server computer')
I adjusted the config file so far to allow max_lag_time but that does not really help.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards.

play a smaller map.

it's not the lag time that is causing the disconnect, because during the autosave, the server isn't ahead of anybody.

what's probably disconnecting is the clients deciding the server didn't answer for a while and is probably dead, so you have to adjust the timeout on each client.

I recommend turning off automatic game storage on the server because after the game is backed up and restored, the Openttd game does not remember companies passwords, everything is unencrypted and therefore somewhat problematic ...

It is better to start the game from the beginning.
