Our database is being cheeky lately and giving us troubles all the time with Psychostats. For some reason it keeps corrupting tables which makes the streamer crash. Therefor the last couple of weeks the stats have been offline most at the time.

We're looking into the issue, but are unsure what is causing this behavior. We think it could possibly have something to do with the harddrive, as sometimes also maps on the gameservers get randomly corrupted (which is even stranger as its a pure read action it performs :0 ).

As we have planned to upgrade MrWhite with 3 new harddisks (RAID 1+0) already, we will now try and speed up the proccess of replacing them.

We have to do alot of work for this, as the whole machine requires a re-install, and its hosting all of our services (accept of most gameservers).

We expect to have the new harddrives in place somewere early in january, which should hopefully also fix our database and random map corruption issues.

Stay tuned for updates.

In the meanwhile, have a look here, its a highly intresting section on our website http://www.specialattack.net/node/47

Btw, could it be that these problems also influence the Sudden death melee mode, because seomtimes crits appear, or the last time we had 10 engis +1 heavy + 1 pyro fighting against 10 engis + 1 sniper + 1 scout.

No, SD melee has nothing to do with the database. Demm fixed an issue yesterday with crits being enabled for some strange reason.

That seems to happen on custom maps, normal maps were fine...

Saint whats wrong with the stats?

Yeah stats seem to be on and off atm, kinda good sometimes though as if I play a bad game one day and the stats don't work, it doesn't count

btw is it possible to turn stattracking off?
