|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Not Appearing in Browser</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Server not visible in the in-game server browser.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify UDP port 27015 is open in firewall</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure <code>sv_lan 0</code> is set (not LAN-only mode)</li>
|
||||
<li>Check that master server communication port (26900/UDP) is open</li>
|
||||
<li>Try direct connect using IP:PORT to verify server is running</li>
|
||||
<li>Wait 5-10 minutes for server to appear in master server list</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Logs not capturing kills/chat</h4>
|
||||
<p>Set log on; sv_logfile 1; sv_log_onefile 1; verify write perms to logs/.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Players cannot connect or timeout.</p>
|
||||
<p><strong>Solutions:</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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 firewall allows traffic on game port</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server is not full (<code>maxplayers</code> limit)</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable password if testing: <code>sv_password ""</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Verify clients have same game version</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server logs in <code>dod/logs/</code> for connection errors</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>High Ping/Lag Issues</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Players experiencing high latency.</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
|
||||

|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Increase <code>sv_maxrate</code> and <code>sv_maxupdaterate</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Set <code>sv_fps_max 1000</code> for smoother gameplay</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server CPU usage (should be under 50%)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is sufficient</li>
|
||||
<li>Reduce <code>maxplayers</code> if server is overloaded</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>RCON Not Working</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Issue:</strong> Cannot connect via RCON.</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

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 <code>rcon_password</code> is set in <code>server.cfg</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure TCP port (same as game port) is open</li>
|
||||
<li>Use RCON tools compatible with GoldSrc/HLDS</li>
|
||||
<li>Test RCON from in-game console first</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>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Crashes on Startup</h3>
|
||||

||||
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "backup_*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="security">Security Best Practices</h2>

||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
