Something to do with Pech's causing server crash

Open Jerakl opened this issue 5 years ago • 14 comments

I don't know how or why, but apparently Pech's seem to be crashing the server I run. It's not the same kind of error I've seen in the previous pech threads, so I'm posting it.

Sometimes the server will go half an hour with no issue, sometimes it'll die after a minute. Only mitigation we've found is killing pechs through console periodically. It just started happening today, server has been running without this issue for at least a month.

Gonna bump this as it's happening to me too. Each time i login it crashes the server. So breaking the game entirely for me.

After posting this, we found a workaround that seems to work. Haven't had the crash since. Try this. PechCrashFix.txt

Hi, thanks. Do you know which file thats for. I looked in all the Thaumcraft files in the configs and couldn't find those lines.

I did fix it myself simply by stopping pechs from spawning. Have no idea if they are a key mob or anything.

If I remember correctly those lines are in the Forge config files. They are important for thaumcraft. IIRC they are the only way to obtain certain things.

ahh gotcha. Thanks

Wait do you mean pech mobs are the only way to get certain items for thaumcraft or have i got that wrong?

Can't say. It's what one of my players told me. I've never played TC6.

:D lol yeah same.

So how do you get around not having the pech mob spawning? if you have all bugging mobs being removed?

I don't think all pech's cause the issue. Just some of them, so it removes the ones causing the error and leaves the ones not? Not entirely sure tbh.

ohh i see. Was wondering if that's what it did or not. I'll make those changes

thanks again

Ok changing those setting didn't fix it. Server crashed again shortly after someone joining it. Before that it didn't when i had disabled Pecks from spawning.

Y'all, those settings are not a fix for the pechs. They're meant for emergencies when you're trying to save a world that has an entity or tile entity that's totally bugged out, and leaving them active is Not Good.

Given that most people are not having the crashes with pechs, it's possible you have a mod or mods that is interacting with them in some way that's causing the crashes.

I was told it's likely the Hats mod

ghost avatar Aug 23 '19 20:08 ghost

Very likely. Hats does modify entities.
