<h3 style="color: #ffffff; margin-top: 20px;">⚠️ Port Security Notes</h3>
|
||||
<ul style="color: #fef3c7; line-height: 1.8;">
|
||||
<li>Only open ports that are necessary for the game server to function</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider using non-standard ports to reduce automated attacks</li>
|
||||
<li>If using cloud hosting, configure security groups properly</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor connection attempts and unusual traffic patterns</li>

|
||||
<h3>Server Not Appearing in Browser</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Players cannot see the server in Black Ops browser.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify <code>+set dedicated 2</code> is set</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure UDP port 4976 (or your custom port) is open in firewall</li>
|
||||
<li>Try direct connect using IP:PORT</li>
|
||||
<li>Master servers may have limited connectivity</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for background processes consuming resources</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Crashes on Startup</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Dedicated server crashes immediately after launch.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor resources:</strong> Use <code>htop</code> or <code>top</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check disk I/O:</strong> Use <code>iotop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Review server logs</strong> for errors or warnings</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count</strong> or increase server resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Optimize configuration</strong> based on server capacity</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Memory Leaks</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Monitor memory usage
|
||||
free -h
|
||||
top -p $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server regularly via cron if needed
|
||||
0 4 * * * /home/gameserver/restart.sh
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Check <code>games_mp.log</code> for error messages</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify all required Black Ops game files are present</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure <code>server.cfg</code> syntax is correct</li>

||||
<li>Verify <code>sv_maxclients</code> does not exceed 32</li>
|
||||
<li>Remove custom mods temporarily to isolate issue</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Problems</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Players cannot connect or timeout.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits
|
||||
echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||
echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
|
||||
|
||||
# Network tuning
|
||||
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=16777216
|
||||
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=16777216
|
||||
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 87380 16777216"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|
||||
<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify firewall rules allow traffic on game port</li>
|
||||
<li>Check <code>sv_maxPing</code> setting</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure server is not full (max 32 players for MP, 4 for Zombies)</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable password if testing: <code>set g_password ""</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Verify clients are using same Black Ops version</li>
|
||||
<li>CPU and memory usage</li>
|
||||
<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|
||||
<li>Player count and activity</li>
|
||||
<li>Error rates and crash logs</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||

||||
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
|
||||
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/gameserver"

||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>

||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is sufficient</li>
|
||||
<li>Lower <code>sv_maxPing</code> to restrict high-ping players</li>
|
||||

|
||||
<li>Use Black Ops-compatible RCON tools</li>
|
||||
<li>Test RCON from in-game console first</li>

||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
