Solved Server Crashes on Startup

[B4udig]

It will start at times but when it crashes it may take 5-15 times of restarts to get it up stable again,

Heres the Crash-Report:

Description: Exception in server tick loop

Edit this occurs when people are macerating blocks or ore when there isn't room for the surplus and there's more waiting.

It's fixed in a later version.

The alternative fix is to keep restarting until it manages to complete processing which could be a very long time if someone stacked multiple hoppers full of ore blocks.

This do not apply to all sorts of oreblocks, those that just arent compatible with ending up as a complete stack

Yeah bad wording, I'm multi tasking so not easy to concentrate on posting, I meant like Lapis, redstone ore blocks (as in silk touched) <- usual culprits that cause this.

What later version do you recommend to overcome this?
As we have a few expensive machines and not keen on loosing them.[DOUBLEPOST=1355964143][/DOUBLEPOST]As the current default with FTB is 4.4

 

[b0bst3r]

Yeah you can't upgrade it I don't think as the fix also requires IC2 to be updated which in itself will most likely cause a lot of other mods to break. Also I can't see any MC version info in the changelogs so no idea what version of IC2 and advmachines go with which MC versions.

 

[B4udig]

Ok loaded 4.5 and booted straight up, hopefully it keeps going

All clients connecting just have to update their client advancedmachines to the same version

This is the newest version that is still listed as for IC2 1.108
