Hi Boys!, We are here once more :o, Lets get it!

Hello everyone, you can call me actinic.

A month ago, my brother and I compiled the CMaNGOS TBC source, and it’s been a really fun project so far. We’ve been learning a lot along the way and experimenting with server stability and AI bots.

our server hardware:

• 2x Dedicated Linux servers
• Each has quad NVMe SSDs in software RAID 10
• Both run on Zen 2 Ryzen 6c/12t CPUs
• 64GB DDR4 RAM each (Dedi-A with non-ECC, Dedi-B with ECC)
• We run world/auth on Dedi-A and the database on Dedi-B
  
  At first, the TBC server was unstable — crashing every 15 minutes and dropping players through the floor. Once we re-extracted the maps, vmaps, and mmaps using a different TBC client, those issues were fixed.

Right now, stability is much better, but we’re still hitting random crashes every 4–6 hours when running with 200 AI human beings. I’d like to push that number way higher, but we crash if i do mate .

I wanted to introduce myself and also reach out in case anyone has tips, tricks, or optimizations to help improve CMaNGOS TBC stability, especially when scaling AI human beings. Any advice or shared experience would be hugely appreciated!

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Hello, i'm new as well. After reading your post, just wanted to share my experience: I've tried a wow server named SPP from Celguar, i think was the name, who did solo player with bots. i played vanilla and TBC it was in Cmangos if i remember correctly, i played with around 500 bots, did you try that one ? It was pretty stable.
