After that i start to tink that i have someware a bug that make big memmory leek .. reinstall runuo b34 (original, witout custom scripts) and put only save folder in new installation when start it first time its ask me to remove some items after that its start ok but i have the same problem in next 5-6 hours runuo get all resources from the system

You have to use binary saves....

How many NPCs do you have in your world.... and what do you mean by "eating all resources"? ean all memory? All cpu %? Both?

Also if you are running base Beta 34 package the player range sensitive is NOT set to true, you must set it yourself.

Periodically RunUO consume all processor time. In other moment it use only 2-4%.

This is normal


You can get a better computer or increase the prioirty for RunUO.

This if abused can make it worst, you have been warned.

31000 is an EXTEREMELY high number of NPCs, there can be several reason for this error, maybe even a hardware issue.

Most probably somewhere on your shard there are a few hundred npcs in a small area, and when a player enters that area it brings the shard to its knees.

i have
12000 Mobiles
and
153000 Items and have this problem
and after restar runuo get 140MB memory and 2-4% CPU usage in this moment i have 56 Players online after 1-2 hours runug get 580MB memory 100%CPU usage and i have 24 players online ... that looks very strange ...
is it posible Saves to be corupted in some way ?
(stuping of electrisity or ingorect shutdown when save is runing)
and if that is posible how i can read bin stucture ?
SDK ?

This is a little off topic but how do I check my CPU usage? im on Windows 98. I know how to check for RAM but not CPU.

I have spawned Trammel Felucca and Ilshenar. 31000 for this normal.
For server uses Athlon 2700+XP, 500Mb RAM, 30Gb SCSI HDD, mainboard on Nvidia Nforce.
Normally RunUO server use ~260-340 Mb RAM and ~2-4 CPU

I already try it.
If i set priority to "realtime" all work normal, but problem not disappear. If server begin eat resourses, all other process die, and machine stop on half hour.

I have had this problem since beta 19 and I have done tons of research and testing to try to solve this issue. I have finally determined that the server does leak memory somewere. My server does not have a ton of RAM (384 mb). It runs well for approximately 24 hours. After this, I would start to see the CPU bouncing from 2-3% to spikes of 100% for 1 to 2 seconds. I have gone thru all spawns (13k) and made sure none of the spawns were too dense causeing trouble when a player walks on the screen like Zippy said and this is not the issue. Of course my PlayerRangeSensativity is set to true. I did alot of testing with changing TimerPriority of most of the timers and this did not help either. I have tried to alter save intervals and this doesnt help. Also, I tried removing all custom scripts and using all stock server.

The only thing I have found to help with CPU spikeing is a memory manager. I use MemTurbo and it does make the CPU preform well, but after a 12-24 hours of uptime, I can sometimes get worldsaves that last more then 100 seconds and periodic freezes while the mem application recovers memory. This has been an improvment for my shard because instead of constant lag caused by the CPU spiking, it only freezes maybe once every few hours.

When I start my server which has 13k mobiles and 125k items, the process uses ~120MB according to the admin gump. After 24 hours my server uses ~160MB. So in 24 hours, server eats approximately 40MB RAM. I have grown used to this issue and try to restart my server on a daily basis and before any big events on the shard. Only trouble really comes in when I go out of town and cannot restart the server. I have also not been able to keep RunUO server running for more then 5 days without crashing my win2k server (without a crashlog).
