i have a 1 months old shard.
the saves always take 1.8 and max 2 second time.but now adays it takes 6 seconds.theres no lag in the game.what can be the problem?
not:i have only 1207 activa accounts.18081 mobiles,502 mobile scripts,345936 items and 1852 item scripts.
did you always have that many mobiles and items? 6 seconds sounds about right for the number of items/mobs that you have.
You could always check to see if you have things piling up on the internal map.
1) Run [xmlfind.
2) Unselect the regular map checkboxes, and select the Internal and null map checkboxes.
3) Select the 'Hide valid internal' checkbox.
4) Uncheck the type checkbox so that it will search for everything.
5) Then do a search and see what comes up.
the age of my server in relation to accounts and items is about a year and my saves are around 10-12 seconds usually.
That's with 405 Active accounts (I clean out old accounts weekly), 53,321 mobiles, and 374,813 items.
ok i searched but it didnt show any results.there is nothing anormal.
please help

this save process is very annoying

so there is a problem in my shard

about 3 days ago saves always taking 1.8 seconds

what method are you doing for cleaning accounts?
I think it's simply a situation where more mobiles/items = longer save time.
However I'm very good at being wrong...
I do account cleaning by hand.

but it wasnt like that

i am only using xmlspawner as a custom script (very detailed script)and web accounting script, other custom scripts are very very basic.but in the 1.8 seconds saves xmlspawner is already there.its not releted with scripts.but whats it reletad with
the only server related thing that affects save time is number of items and number of mobiles. If you added more spawns, then your save time will go up. If you have players accumulating more items, then it will also go up.
If it is something that has just started and is not related to items or mobiles, then you might look at other processes that are also running that might be slowing hard drive access.
my server machine is
p4 3.0
2gb ram
it cant be reletad with my system properties.its just appeared and i dont know why and its very annoying
have you added spawns recently?
tha last spawns i addet that you know also are 40 books to a one bookshelf and spawns to the chest to be auto locked you know.and the stealable artifacts.
are you running any other programs on that computer?
Are you running low on disk space?
Have you defragmented your drive?

no for all your questions
now it saved again and its 7.5 seconds.what the hell is going on in my server
what is the size of your saves (size of the Saves folder)?
You may be having hard drive problems. You might want to check your system logs.
