    Hi all.
    I know that server crashes are very common but I wonder if there is anything extra that I have to setup in order to keep the server at least 24h running.
    I followed the main server setup and created a 24 player CTF server and a 20 player TDM server.
    Both servers are totally default, as I said I just followed the main thread for server install (here)

    THe TDM server crashes even more often than the CFT, is there a known reason for that?

    I know that there is a thread teaching how to install the debug on linux so I can know exactly what is making the server crash and send that report to the devs but I see many servers online 24/7 and it seems they have figured out how to make the server to stay up, and this is the information I'm looking for...


    Here is some more info about my setup:
    - 2 game servers running on linux VPS that meets the minimum spec perfectly
    - each server is on a different screen, but both in the same machine (I followed the main tutorial)
    - tdm server seem to crash more than cft
    - sometimes the server freezes the entire machine (ykes) and I have to reboot
    - sometimes the machine shows stuck 70% CPU usage even if the servers are empty
    - servers get auto killed at 3am and auto reboot (just like the main tutorial teaches)

    Thanks

    KAG needs a LOT of CPU, you can't run the game on a cheap VPS.

    @makmoud98 do you mind sharing your autoconfig file settings? Is there anything you do to the game server or to the vps that makes the game run smooth and not crash?

    not really. mine just runs smooth, every few days or so, it will crash due to the api bug, but other than that, it works pretty good, i dont have issues with cpu usage unless ive got like a 30 slot server going. i use the 1 core vps on https://www.nfoservers.com/ its pretty nice and it works great for me. i bought the 6-month plan, for like 45 on sale.
