Server Status Thread

rage rage rage....

Would be nice to get some info on what's causing the constant lag and crashes...
The first few days the world worked surprisingly well compared to previous resets, and now all of a sudden is having lots of issues.

[ShoX]

Any chance we can get current Mine Pyre timer reduced to accommodate the downtimes?

What this man said. Minehole timegate is long enough without 12h server downtime on top

down again?

[WESKERBOY]

God I hope the horse I was on didn't buck me during the pre-crash lag

ese compa ya esta muertoooooo nomas no le han avisado!!!!

You need a better alarm

Probably, but I think you do too. Previously, I've just been grepping the syslog over SSH, but now I wrote this which should hopefully be a bit more robust:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python3

import sys, os, urllib.request, time
url = "http://www.havenandhearth.com/mt/srv-mon"
spath = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), "audio/sounds/takeya.wav")

while True:
    try:
        with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as s:
            while ln := s.readline():
                words = ln.decode("ascii").split()
                if len(words) == 0:
                    sys.stderr.write("haven-alarm: connected\n")
                    continue
                if words[0] == "state" and words[1] == "crashed":
                    os.system("play -q " + spath)
    except urllib.error.URLError as exc:
        sys.stderr.write("haven-alarm: warning: could not connect: %s\n" % exc)
        time.sleep(60)
        sys.stderr.write("haven-alarm: reconnecting\n")
        continue

Using /mt/srv-mon is nicer, because it gives you the information both immediately, without having to do repetitive requests and without having to parse HTML.

Shouldn't it be words[2] == "crashed"?

LET ME IN

[Mediocre]

This is taking too long. Seems like there will be a w16 when the server finally comes back up again.

down again?

Both as a simple player and a supporter of a f2p game I am a little bit annoyed by recent server crashes and lags. It would be nice to have something done it about, here are my ideas:
- Notifications about server status from devs
- Reserve server to switch while first one is down
- Notifications live to devs about server status, semi-live communication through Discord or other SM channel about server issues.
- Post some details of server's current hardware and investigate lags.

I will be honest - early game is most fun and being switched out of the loop for 2 days straight makes both me and my friends kinda "meh", thinking about dropping the game. There goes the premium, loyalty cascade etc etc.

Where is H&H hosted? Server is single-threaded I believe? Is it a self-hosted solution? Cant we just throw more daka-dakas at it in a typical H&H way? Open a crowd-funding campaign, tell us the exact price of that Intel Core i9 5.8HHz or Ryzen 9 5.6HHz, wont this solve lags?
More SSD, more RAM - what do we need for this game? Make a special premium hat+support package for this goal in the store and we ll get that upgrade in no time.
