| Summary | 0023684: Multiplayer: find a way to export likely runaway lists on clients. | ||||
| Description | Thanks to the sync logic, it's entirely possible for a list to not be cleared properly, but just have a new set of data added to it, and thus grow infinitely and slow the game to a halt and eventually crash it. I need to build in some mechanisms for us to detect this sort of thing, probably using a debug menu button that people can press to export any lists that are suspiciously large. I will likely use a modified version of ObjectDumper, which we use elsewhere for other reasons. This is going to be time consuming and feels like a waste to do so early, but these sorts of leaks absolutely tank performance and it's a matter of happening to discover them without this. | ||||

Good grief, this took several days but is now done! And I can rest a whoooole lot easier with this code in place. * New explanations on how to use the log dumps for multiplayer debugging purposes are in here: ** This one is less likely to be useful: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=Category:AI_War_2:_All_About_Multiplayer#cmd:dump_data_tables ** Whereas this one is very likely to come up as something to check: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=Category:AI_War_2:_All_About_Multiplayer#cmd:dump_external_data Plus this is just plain useful for mod authors and for us devs checking our work even outside of MP. |
