TripleA Server Costs
-
@beelee My understanding is that TripleA has 5 servers on which the bots are located. The servers are all working but currently have 2 bots each instead of the 3 each @lafayette had them having. I've no idea if that is because 3 bots per server are just too much (so it has to be 2 as it currently practically is) or there is a problem or some problems with the bots which @lafayette (or an other developer) may fix eventually (maybe with help from @eyeswideshut).
Not sure if we should make a problem report in GitHub about this or if we should notify anyone anywhere when we see that some bots are broken.

Yea I'm not certain either but like you, I thought we were supposed to have 15.
The reason I mention it again, besides potentially paying for a service we aren't receiving, there's usually only 1 available bot or sometimes none.
I'm glad the lobby still popular but I was hoping to play on it again since new maps are now supported.
Anyway, it seemed noteworthy to mention again

15 bots are back.
Setting update has been deployed:
https://github.com/triplea-game/infrastructure/commit/54f11b2da26c9b9a7a18079a0489fdc76dc2c756The act of deploying an update would have booted the missing bots. They would have been crash/disconnected due to something within our control (system config, code issues, something we own).
I don't know if that setting will have an impact on the lobby bots. I do see that they are not full on restarting when a game is over, that seems more stable.
The restart of lobby bots was otherwise handled by systemctl rather than docker. Maybe a key difference, maybe not, I'm not sure.
I'll be interested if bots drop off again.

Hi Dan
sadly we had a bot malfunction. I was in Cali 103 and the game kinda just stopped. But wasn't frozen. I checked lobby and my bot was gone


as you can see no 103 and it looks as if we're down to 12.
Here's in game that is still showing 103 though after it dropped from lobby.

A couple guys said they had froze up at the same time.
Anyway, just a heads up.
Edit
Just checked and now they're back.
