Saturday Stress Test - Round Two

January 28th, 2012
The SWGEmu Development Division



Greetings testers and community members,

Starting at 4 PM EST (check your local time here (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Saturday+Stress+Test+-+Round+Two+01%2F28%2F12+&iso=20120128T16&p1=179&ah=3)) on Saturday (January 28), the developers and QA are looking to perform another stress-test on Nova Test Center that will last roughly 3 hours (thus concluding at ~7 PM EST if results are sufficient). We need as many people as possible to log in, so please join us and Nova's rapid progression by contributing to our latest stress-test!

http://www.swgemu.com/forums/images/stafflogos/news_nova.png

In addition to general stress testing, aka logging as many instances as your computer can handle, developers would like us to test some specific things:



Since TC: Nova will be wiped before the test, everyone will be required to create a new character and complete the tutorial.

Test MOB and NPC spawns and Loot in DWB on Endor and Geonosian Lab on Yavin IV


PLEASE NOTE: Teleports for the stress test areas are at Coronet Starport


http://www.swgemu.com/forums/images/stafflogos/news_dev.png



WHERE?
Nova Test Center (TC: Nova)



WHEN?
4:00 PM - 7 PM EST (GMT-5)




HOW?
Make a character on TC: Nova, complete the Tutorial, go to DWB and Geo Lab and kill & loot everything.




WHAT ABOUT LIBERATOR?
For the duration for this stress-test Liberator will be OFFLINE.




Once again and log in as many characters as your computer can handle. Remember this is not just stress test, there are specific tasks we need to complete. Those who never submitted a bug report should check this guide first: How to report bugs on Bug Tracker (Mantis) (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22463). A well written bug report will make QA's job much easier.

And please remember to keep up-to-date on our testing information, the latest of which is detailed in our latest announcement (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/content.php?r=235-We-need-your-help-on-TC-Nova) and in End of Liberator Milestone (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/swgemu/wiki/End_of_Liberator_Milestone).

Dwb currently has no spawns tho.

i thought that was implemented.

Any info on this?

Vlada
01-26-2012, 09:18 PM
Unless something changed there should be quite a few in there, i killed some SBD's, BD's, Bloodguars and Ghosts just yesterday, or was it the day before.

DWB spawns were removed, not to annoy you, but to make Screenplays (Themeparks, Quests, etc.) as modular as possible. I just have to commit the current DWB version for them to be there... With this stress test announcement I think I'll hold off with that just until right before that so it doesn't ruin the surprise :D

Does this also mean there will be a wipe before saturday?

xyborn
01-27-2012, 03:13 AM
There will be a Nova wipe before the Stress test Saturday. Players will be forced to partake in the Tutorial when creating a new character. Once in game, we will have "event shuttles" setup to take players to the DWB and GEO Caves.

Liberator server shows up. Nova TC server WAS up at 3:58 EST but has not been listed since. Not there now still.

I did a FULL Scan on each of my Launchpad Enhanced just to be sure. No discernable improvement. COntinue to wait and try to exit app and relaunch, login at 1 minute intervals.

I'm on the phone with someone who was able to begin creating a character. but it wound out at "Creating your Character, please wait ...". At this same time, my two machines offered the ability to select Nova TC in the Create area, but both interrupted with that "Invalid session ID" at the exact same time. Restarting apps again now.

16:40 update: On the phone with the other person is now In-world on Nova.

GREAT job guys. It is working. Time is 16:41 EST

16:46 My buddy was able to create caracter, was not presented a Tutorial, and arrived outside starport Mos Eisley. Others were there and standing. Noone was able to chat or do things (change clothes, interface with frog, etc.) Then connection was lost to swgemu on their end. Possible server restart.

Yes, we found another flaw! Fix incoming! If we could get some feedback on what would help you guys with getting back up and going after each crash/fix, I'll try to get that scripted in as well.

Tutorial keeps causing crashes. =/ It only gets wiped when either:
A) The server crashed before any data could save.
B) There was some type of DB corruption requiring a wipe.

Characters not able to chat or perform basic tasks (change clothes, interface with frog, etc.) Then 16:49 connection was lost to swgemu on their end. Possible server restart.

I have a Mcabook running Windows 7 on parallels
17:19 Launched Launchpad Enhanced and ran another Full Scan. Updating...

I have a PC running Windows 7

17:20 Quit and restarted Launched Launchpad Enhanced without running Full Scan and attempted to log in to create a character on NovaTC.
Connecting to the Galaxy ...

17:24 Macbook logging in attempt to create new TC Nova char and run through Tutorial.
able to instantly get to character creation screen.

17:26 PC attempt timed out with error session id. Macbook successfully began Tutorial.

Macbook char has no chat window to type in.

17:34. Macbook logged out the charcter and restarted the application
17:35 PC is in to the Tutorial, so far so good
17:39 Macbook Sullsty Noyes (Sullsty) able to converse with Imps, and pick up food from drum. Baning Terminal use attempt no radial. Market Terminal use attempt timed out. Connection to Galaxy Lost.

17:41 Exited app on both machines. To restart login attempt.



17:45 Question. Does it help or not help, for us to do Full Scan on the application during re-attempts? Make a difference? Posted this text in /forums/showthread.php?t=31545

Running Full Scan on apps on both the machines.
17:47 Pc completed Full Scan. Logging back in now.


17:52 PC Joorg Noyes is able (Tutorial) to use the Bank. I moved 10 credits from bank to cash. New cash balance is: 100010. Looks ok in Inventory.
17:53 Market terminal came right up. Didn't see any listed items under chest armor, or Weapons. Neither in Full Galaxy.
Walked down hall to continue.


17:56 conversed with C-3po but Connection to SWG lost!

17:57 restarting apps to give servers time to reboot.

18:01 Characters are kind of trapped in the Tutorial. Tutorial NPC's are gone but my chars are in. Stalled. Cannot do anything. Restarting both apps.

18:09 Deleted all but Sullsty of the Tutorialed chars.


18:38 Repeated attempts to log in to Nova are winding out without connect. Continuing to try. Cannot tell if anyone is actually in the NovaTC at this time.

Elvaron
01-28-2012, 09:48 PM
Tutorial has apparently gotten a few new bugs with recent additions to our LUA object model. Lua is pretty annoying to debug so we're going to disable the tutorial for now and debug it properly.

And no, scans on the client make no difference, it's all server-side.

Farden
01-28-2012, 09:53 PM
23:52 CET (GMT+1) I just got a client crash (return to desktop, no more informations) when I started talking to the first imperial officier (part two of the tutorial).

Incidentally, using the server status gadget is great for knowing when the server has been shut down. It works nice on W7.

Check the third party tools thread in the forum to download and install it.

No one can make a bug free code, but stress tests like these help devs find those bugs and fix them.

The last crash was from a memory corruption, which means we need to load the server in the memory debugger (Valgrind) in order to track it down. Expect the server to be a little laggy!

Yeah it's actually kind of impossible to make a big code without bugs, when people release games without bugs that does not mean they did not have to test and refine the game for months.

Vlada
01-28-2012, 10:35 PM
Oh, I agree. But you don't need to sound so cheerful about it...

Why, every time it crashes it means we helped devs locate and fix another bug.

This is a good thing. Stuff is getting done.

So if this stress test has kept the players from being able to actually test the geo caves and everything. Will the time be extended a little or just as long as the stress test event was supposed to be?

I've been trying to connect as many instances as I can, but the server went down this time when I was connecting the 6th. Is it possible that so many character creations/connects through one account in a relatively short time frame is causing some of the problems?

You don't lose connection, the server goes down or crashes. Right now is offline.

Elvaron
01-28-2012, 11:04 PM
Please keep in mind we don't just blindly put code on the server, we run the code dozens of times adding small changes each step. The code runs fine on our local machines so most of these crashes occur due to concurreny / many people on the server.
In this regard today's stress test is far more successful than last week's, since we actually found some bugs rather than just see the server run quietly.

Of course it's less fun for players than if there had been no bugs and people could just run through geo caves and dwb like we had hoped.

That's actually a stopgap on Liberator for it to work in Cloning Centers. It only should work in med centers, camps, and near surgical droids.

Is it just me, or has Nova been down since the big krayt fight in cnet? It has been well over 1/2 hr, and vlada was shouting that a DWB run was about to begin after server reset.

Note: it may be helpful to have the online status (indicated on character selection screen) actually be linked to the status (as we all know, it ALWAYS says every server is online)

Weird because I had a total of 0. My guess is you guys locked it after 4PM, or I found a bug.

Server went up and down more than 10 times last during the stress test, you probably tried to create a toon during one of the downtimes and gave up before server came back online.

This gadget has been so very helpful, especially during the test - thanks Darth Nautus! It shows straightaway when the server is down and you don't have to check the forum or IRC. Great :)
