batchmode multiple server instances

Hello,

I'm trying to run serverals server instances in batchmode on windows.

It appears that when I execute more than 1 server instance, all other instances doesn't seem to execute their flow.

If I run them in "normal mode" with rendering/input, everything goes fine but once i run them in batchmode, only one instance is processing.

Any idea?

 

are they all running on different ports ?

 

Yes they Do.

In fact, if I launch 2 instances of the server (with different ports) in batchmode, In the windows task manager, only the first instance is using CPU (about 50% due to dual core), the other one takes 0%.

When I launch theses 2 instances without batchmode (so with rendering process), in the task manager, one instance is using CPU at about 30% and the other at 20%.

The result in batchmode is that the client cannot switch from 1 instance to another because the second instance cannot process client connection.

 

did you enable 'Run in background' under Edit/Project Settings/Player ?

 

Yes I did, that's why everything goes fine in "normal" mode, but why doesn't it work in batchmode ? -_-

 

it does work in batchmode, we have multiple ones running in parallel, during testing it were over a dozen.

likely you don't have code that handles the situation without a user giving input correctly or an endless loop which eats 100% cpu time

 

Thanks to you! I could solve the problem.
It was the Camera Gameobject that was enabled in server build and then was eating all the CPU. When I disabled it, everything worked.

I'm still curious why the camera component give this behaviour in batchmode. Thought it was skipped.

 

are you on v2.6.1 or one of the betas ?

 

We're using v2.6.1
