Latest Update Crash

THS.Shiniri

Since the latest update my Zombie Servers won´t start anymore. They just crash and restart because of the command line ...

@THS-Shiniri did you update your server by running the !updatePluto.bat file or whatever it's called? If not then this is most likely your issue

THS.Shiniri

@lResxt I used the included !updatePluto.bat as always and It went from working to not working with just the update in between.

Thats how it looks https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1TLm9v0VQGZcJ-Y2g8Jq_pCZphzFwRABD

Yeah my servers are done too. Good update guys....

@THS-Shiniri Proper_12 Do you have any mods/plugins loaded on your servers? With every update there is the possibility of mods/plugins breaking.

THS.Shiniri

JezuzLizard Well yes I have, but since I wanted to test if this error is caused by my VPS or something else I copied my cfgs and server related stuff to my private PC, where the server was not able to start either. But on my PC, are no scripts installed.

I got it going! It's buggy though the terminal that hosts the server.

I run the server on Debian 10(Linux).

I was launching with nohup ./town.sh &...now I launch it with ./town.sh, then I Ctrl Z, type bg to make it a background job. Now it works fine.

Also I notice connhost.exe running now. Is that an addition from the update?

THS.Shiniri

Proper_12 Thats great. Do you think it is replicant to windows, cause I host my servers on Winodws Server 2019.

Edit: Its not, When I remove the goto loop the task dies nonetheless

@THS-Shiniri

Hmm. What I did to update my server was I updated my client on my personal PC(Windows 10)via plutonium.exe.

Then I transferred my %localappdata%/Plutonium to my server via SCP after removing iw5, demonware from storage folder and deleted .json files.

On Linux I can't use the goto loop so my config looks like this....

# Shell Script for Linux Server T6 Plutonium
PAT=~/T6_Server/Server/Zombie # Your Game Path
KEY='example' # Paste the server key from https://platform.plutonium.pw/serverkeys
CFG=town.cfg # Name of the config file the server should use. (default: dedicated.cfg)
PORT=4980 # Port used by the server (default: 4976) -> Don't forget to allow server port in ufw fail2ban
MODE=t6zm # Game Mode ( Multiplayer / Zombie ) -> ( t6mp / t6zm )
NAME=Town

title="PlutoniumT6 - $NAME - Server restarter"
echo -e '\033k'$title'\033\\'
echo Visit plutonium.pw / Join the Discord for NEWS and Updates!
echo Server "$NAME" will load $CFG and listen on port $PORT UDP!
echo To shut down the server close this window first!
echo "($DATE)  -  ($TIME) $NAME server start."

cd ~/T6_Server/Plutonium
wine .\\bin\\plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe $MODE $PAT -dedicated +set key $KEY +sv_config $CFG +net_port $PORT
echo "($DATE)  -  ($TIME) WARNING: $NAME server closed or dropped... server restarts."
wine .\\bin\\plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe $MODE $PAT -dedicated +set key $KEY +sv_config $CFG +net_port $PORT

Proper_12 Already tried it the other way arround (copying configs and batch files from Server to Private PC) but resulted in the same behaviour :/. The config is the same logical wise. You do even use wine for linux didnt know that thats kinda funny tbh. XD

EDIT: We have discussed on the official Discord what might be going on. To Sum up only a few Server Owners have struggle to get their Server going live again. But those having the following issue:

"Plutonium crashed because of an exception caused by external software.                                                  
Module: ntdll.dll"

We tried and figure out some things that won´t make a difference:

clean pluto (including localappdata) & redist install
setting up a fresh Server folder and config
removed every script
starting the OS only with needed drivers would´n help either
occures on VMs and Systems
error appears since the update @12 AM 10th November (CEST)
the error also appears on machines where the newest update is installed and you can play it without any problems

EDIT 2:

So a Friend have a running Server under Version R2462 he send me his AppData Folder and I still get the same error ...
