Hello everyone,

I can now fully disclose this issue. Since I have put all database fields to
"text" or "mediumtext" rather than "longtext" and the server has not crashed
since.

Thanks for your help,
omacha

Great! I guess this issue is solved then. Haven't had any crash up until now.

I guess you should write it, yeah, or just make a copiable text to write everytime someone posts about this issue... Your choice!

Thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated! :)

Hello Torndeco,
thank you for your help and quick reply.

Our server is using largetext fields for storing data, but the text field never contains over about 5KiB of data (until now at least, I checked), so we should never be over 10KiB for the whole query. I will look into this with the server host. Why would my server be set up to use largetext fields if they are messy with the database system? I have looked up Tonic's database initialization commands and he's using 'text' fields. So the problem shouldn't be happening with those?

Hello Iceman,

The only mod server-side is @life_server version 3.1.3.5 extDB from Tonic. There are no client-side mods running. Clients don't experience crashes, they only experience by seeing the yellow closed chain, turning red after a while. So the server is clearly server-side.

Everything works as expected up until the server crashes. So Torndeco's issues description sounds very believable. I will look into this and give you feedback.

Hi UGoBooMBooM,

I'm deeply sorry, I somehow landed on the wrong issue via my mail. I will delete my comment as of now.

Edit: I maybe followed your issue once... Whatever, good luck with your problem and I hope you're going to find a solution :)
