    Why does Settler II keep crashing?

    I don't want any stupid answers like "Because it sucks" etc.

    In the downtime reports, it always says something like "Cause of Downtime has not yet been established".

    So, what is causing them? If it's high load, why aren't the umpteen anti-load features doing anything?

    Can't expect a Mini to carry the same load as a truck or humvee

      It seems the load is still a problem.

      Unfortunately, I have had to temporarily disable them again as a measure to reduce server load. We'll see "where we're at" in 1-2 weeks time.

          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

            As has been referenced in this thread so far, high server load has been the result of the most recent crashes. The exact reason as to why there has been this extended high server load as of recent is still being investigated. Avatar disablement has in the past alleviated these problems, and is doing so again, but the institution of this measure should not be necessary in the first place (or, at the very least, not to the extent to which it has had to be employed as of late).

                Settler II is the name of Apolyton's current server. Diss, you've been here several times as long as me, you should know that by now.

                  So what's going to happen when a couple of thousand new members sign up and dissabling the avatars won't cut it anymore?

                        Isn't there another expansion for Civ3 coming up? I agree we need to be pro-active rather than just reactive.

                            Asher, you are unaware of the actual problem. The problem is not the OS, the problem is the number and length of connections. Any server would crash when subjected to the load Settler II recieves.
