Couple of server dilemmas

[LLv34_Untamo]

S!

 

I have two things that are now bothering me with running a dserver. They are not fatal as such, as they don't stop me from running the server, but cause some headache. If someone has any ideas about these, please share.

 

1) Sometimes when I run the server, and then enter the Multiplayer menu in game, the server says that there are -1 players on the server, and if I try to join the server it says something like "connection cannot be established" or similar. This problem goes usually goes away with shutting down and restarting the server, but couple of times I've had to reboot the computer to get rid of it.

 

2) The following problem is much rarer, but much more troubling to me atleast. I have made a mission, in which I have several AAA and vehicle objects around an airfield. In couple of tests the following happened: I shot and destroyed couple of the objects after which all the objects suddenly disappeared. I waited a long time, and after 4 minutes they suddenly reappeared. I had enabled mission report logging, and when I checked them, there was a 4 minute gap in writing the files, the 8 files (which were missing for 4 minutes) were suddenly written in one second. It was as if the server had frozen for 4 minutes and then continued as if nothing special had happened :O

 

So, if anyone has any ideas what might be causing these two, it would be nice to know
