ServUO freezes completely 5-10 minutes after startup – no console response, game freezes

Endless Journey

I'm running ServUO on Windows Server 2022. The server starts fine and I can log in and play normally. However, after about 5–10 minutes of runtime, the server completely freezes:

• Console becomes unresponsive (cannot type any commands)
• Game client freezes (no movement, no actions)
• No error messages or crash logs
• The last line in the console is always: Enabling Rising Tide

Here is the last part of the log:
02:34:03 [Honesty]: Generating...
02:34:03 [Honesty]: Generation completed in 0.00 seconds.
02:34:34 Enabling Rising Tide
(no further output, server frozen)
My environment:

• OS: Windows Server 2022
• ServUO version: 57.3 (compiled from source)
• Client: ClassicUO (also tested with official classic client)
• UO data files: same source for both server and client

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my last attempt before giving up.

Thank you.

First of all, thank you for providing all the info you have.

How much memory and how many cores are you using, or are you on a dedicated machine?

Have you tried waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes (shouldn't take that long) to see if it ever finishes?

Thanks for you reply.

I am using cloud host, maybe shared cpu (4vCPU) with 8GiB memory.

For you second question, I have tried waiting for over hours to see if it ever finishes.

This isn't easy to be answered, the specs should be fine as you can run a shard on an SBC if you wanted to.

If it doesn't generate error logs in the main folder, then I feel like you wont find out where / why it gets stuck without an debugger.

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll try looking into the problem.
