Deleting non-local object produces RPT spam
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

This causes:

  • Increased, unnecessary Network Traffic
  • RPT file size increase (file operations are not cost-free?)
  • Unnecessary diag_log/logFormat calls.
  • RPT becomes illegible. 2,000,000 lines with only a few thousand are any use.

Deleting a server-owned object from the client, causes server to write to RPT a message like this:

Error: Object(4 : 481) not found
Server: Object 4:481 not found (message Type_162)

Deleting a client-owned object from the server, causes client to write to server RPT a message like this:

Error: Object(3 : 119) not found
Client: Object 3:119 (type Type_119) not found. {F26505} {F26506}

Steps To Reproduce
  • snipped unreliable repro *

View attached PBO, run on dedicated server.

Once in session, use action menu to start/stop the repro.

Once the test is running, view the servers RPT file.

Additional Information

I don't think so many recursive diag_log/logFormat calls is good for performance, neither is a growing RPT file.

Also it is the client writing to the servers RPT file, meaning each line represents network traffic.

Seems as if there is an object array being iterated through. Perhaps delete the null element from that array rather than log a report, or at least allow scripters the ability to switch off that diag_log/logFormat call to cut down on network traffic, RPT size, diag_log calls, and make the RPT more user-friendly.

I have no idea how you cant reproduce this?
This is literally in every multiplaye game thousands and thoussands of this lines.

Do you even play your game?


BIS Adam
Thanks for the repro mission! But unfortunately i only got one
0:42:44 Server: Object 3:30 not found
for the 5-10 mins the server has been running


Did use the 'Run Test' action?

Also, are viewing the client RPT or the server RPT? The pasted output above is from my dedi's RPT only a few seconds into the test.

Client RPT will not show anything of note in this repro.

I was viewing the server .RPT of course :). I also did run the test action.

Adam added a comment.Aug 25 2015, 10:18 AM

Scratch that. Finally managed to reproduced thanks to your awesome repro mission!

i am running 1.54 hotfix and still waiting for a fix :/ is there any progress?

My 800,000 line RPT file (zero script errors) from yesterday says no. At the very least we should be able to filter this crap out, similar to BE filters.

The most useful solution is simply to remove this logging since it serves no positive value and simply renders the RPT file useless for quick review.

_object remoteExecCall ["deleteVehicle",_object];

Little workaround, because the command will executed where the object is local ;D

already try with bis_fnc_mp but without success

In my opinion a better solution (workaround) is to add garbage to a global array and each machine can run a (local _x) on it before deleting the element. Then the server comes along and removes null elements periodically. Still a sloppy fix for a problem that BI could easily solve.

I think they are trying to fix it completly without a workaround. For clients the -nolog should help. I think there is something bigger behind this rpt spam than just the spam.

i try _object remoteExecCall ["deleteVehicle",_object];

but always the same spam

Still having this issue running 1.54.133741.

WTF? @Dwarden

I had this message 18,221 times in 4 hours for this object and it is like this every reboot.

Yeah ffs Bohemia please mute this useless garbage once and for all, it provides no relevant information whatsoever to end users, all it does is clog I/O and make everything else harder to analyze.

Can't change owner from %d to %d
 
Server: Object info %d:%d not found
 
Server: Object %d:%d not found (message %s)

Together, these 3 message types make up 97% of a 13 MB log from a 4-hour peak-time session.

Confirming this is still an issue as of 1.68.141205 on Linux Dedicated server. We have about 40MB in the last day of "Server: Object 2:2841 not found (message Type_93)" and similar.

Edit: This is happening even when the server is empty.

Still occurring in 1.70

This is still an issue, and very annoying. Fills my logs with information we don't need to see.

Doubtful, they seem to fix things that affect normal clients directly not back-end things that cause instability such as this. The true disconnect is that they (BIS) don't see or care that this causes issues for those clients in the form of lag. But yessir they're too busy atm making objects such as cans have physx (they now fall over and roll sometimes when you shoot them...) to fool with anything such as this. C'mon let's be real the only reason we now have a x64 .exe is because someone close to them or in the community trolled the Sh** outta them for being in the dark ages....

Can be reproduced with setunitloadout on a multplayer game.
Just run getunitloadout then setunitloadout from a client.

It is creating backpack and Supply20 or (Supply40, ...) outside of map with simulation enabled.

@Dwarden This can cause massive performance issue in multiplayer

Has many duplicates -> T79285 T83321 T77860 T76277

Mods like ALiVE trigger this problem really hard... because of there virtual ai feature i suppose?!?!
To many AI that get deleted and created?!?
They dont use setUnitLoadout/getUnitLoadout for there virtual ai feature... so this is not the problem there.

Commands that seams to trigger this:
setGroupOwner
setUnitLoadout
deleteVehicle

In my case are the 150mb rpt log all Supply* containers that are -1,6m in the ground from dead ai...
i use the corpseManager and i suppose that that dont delete the supply* things.

shukari added a comment.EditedApr 4 2018, 6:26 PM

The most spam was produced because of the corpseManager...
I use the manager for every corpse... and it deletes the body but not the Supply100/20/40/120 container of the corpse/backpack ... this container is then 1,6m under the ground.
Only the server has this Supply??? container... and the rpt is spamming:

Error: Object(4 : 481) not found
Server: Object 4:481 not found (message Type_162)

Please look into this corpsemanager problem!

Manzarek added a comment.EditedMay 13 2018, 1:02 AM

@Wulf @Adam @Dwarden @razazel

The Error: Object(x:xx) not found happen when changing gear (rapidly for best results).

Its a few line of RPT spam when a player connect and you have to equip it.
A few more RPT lines when a player disconnect and you delete the unit
A few more RPT lines when a player browse the clothing shop
A few more RPT lines when a player dies/respawn
...

And all of this make the RPT unusable.
This is a repro that make it quite obvious

TEST 1:
Connect on a dedicated server and run this

for [{_i=0}, {_i<100}, {_i=_i+1}] do { 
    loadout = getUnitLoadout player;
    player setUnitLoadout loadout;
};

Do you need a new task for my comment?

By testing script alone with a server and two games (on the same computer), with only CBA and a mod from and for me (a personal light console), I have same Spam.
My script is executed from mission files, without any mod.

During tests I observe that spamming messages are linked to objects that are not present in several players interface. So several objects are not created among all clients.

Goal of my script: follow an object with an infinite smoke.

  • If any player take the oibject, a smoke is created and attached to the player
  • If this player enter into a vehicle, smoke is now attached to vehicle
  • If this player put the object on the ground, smoke is attached to the ground (dummyweapon)
  • If this player put the object in a box, smoke disapear

(no event handlers used because of possibility to lost the object by using some actions where none EH could see... it was a high puzzle but it works very well)

This script is completely oriented Server. Clients don't execute nothing.

What I observe:

  1. In the server spam

Server: Object 2:XXX not found (message Type_XXX)

since starting game. I regret to not have tested all of them, but one of those objects was a dummyweapon that was "jumping" at [0,0,0] position. I was surprising to observe this object was well knows by the Server but not to both players! I've just done this to stop spam :

deleteVehicle objectFromNetId _x;
  1. In Client those dummyweapons (or objects which spammed the server rpt file) was unknown but no message into the client rpt file.
  2. In Client, there're spam :

Client: Object 2:XXX (type Type_XXX) not found.

But this problem was also physic in game : This object is the infinite smoke! And when the rpt was spammed, in game the smoke wasn't visible.
I could have:

  • no errors
  • only player 1 can see the smoke and was not spammed
  • only player 2 can see the smoke and was not spammed
  • both players are spammed and can't see the smoke

And always no error in Server about the infinite smoke.
Client spams stop when server deletes the object.

I hope to be understandable, if needed I could shared my script...
In SP I had no problems.

First ask: is it possible my errors are just from a bug because both games and server are all executed from the same computer? (i.e. same IP address...)

First ask: is it possible my errors are just from a bug because both games and server are all executed from the same computer? (i.e. same IP address...)

no

Thank you, that information is awesome! Yes please share your script, if possible in a minimal form.

I've deleted all scripts that are not about this subject.

The smoke works thanks function TEK_MISSION_fnc_followArtefact, with the parameter _step = PUT_SMOKE.
Just launch this test in solo / multi host / multi server with at least two players...
And take the helmet, throw it on the ground, take it again, put it in a car, drag it from the car to the ground (event handlers don't permit to check this last action, that's why the complexity of my script), etc, etc.
Only the initial crate doesn't react with the helmet. All others objects and players react.

So I try to follow an item called in script artefact (the helmet) and mark the wearer of the artefact.
You could find in initPlayerLocal.sqf that I create deliberately an error to avoid a popup in game, because I didn't found a function that permits to check if a file exists or not. This is only for functions that change texture and materials. Except for object damages where I've "convoluted" problems, this function work very well.

I wished to delete IA playable units in solo for this test, but isMultiplayer doesn't seem to work during initialisation game. *should I create a task for this remark? ^^ I'll go to move for several days... don't have more times now...

Hope this could help you.
