Well, it seems by the threads I asked an obvious question.<br><br>
Looks like we won't have stability before the upcoming
holidays...<br><br>
I figure Ryan's off after today, and there is still no fix for the
crash.<br>
I didn't know how it was done. When I mentioned to my 13y/o
son,<br>
a avid player and die hard, and spun it up on my test server, he<br>
knew about it, and down it came. Seems we are not the only
ones<br>
using this list!<br><br>
Happy Holidays guys. Will try back after the new year. Maybe we
will<br>
have a UO Linux server by than. Here say is there is no CPU
change<br>
so I see no rush. I have a test setup to quantify this, but the server
needs<br>
to stand on it's own legs first, not segv sig 11 every few mins at the
whim<br>
of some 13 y/o.<br><br>
MY 1.4e servers are still loaded 24x7... I guess they see no rush
either...<br>
Looks like other than CPU, 1.4e is excellent, and 1.5.1 has broken a
lot.<br>
Reminds me of "Don't fix spearhead, lets just release
"breakthrough". Fail.<br>
Could the developers have picked up SOME of EA's bad habits?<br><br>
Somehow, I think this "Fix patch, CPU, textures" turned in to a
partial<br>
rewrite of some type for the developers. Ryan's Server is really an
interpreter<br>
so can't be blamed for the failings of others IMHO.<br><br>
As normally the case.. they will fix a few and break more... Ryan has to
struggle<br>
to patch his interpreter to deal with their poor changes and is somewhat
stuck in the<br>
middle, while the developers that messed themselves, relax and enjoy the
holidays...<br><br>
