Linux Server version is not verbose.

[Destrian]

The Linux Server version doesn't show any console output. Windows updates on real time but Linux freezes after "Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 346110"

I've noticed nothing shows up in the log until the server is stopped (at least during testing with nobody on the server)

In GameUserSettings.ini, there is this entry:

RCONServerGameLogBuffer=600

But probably only applies to how many lines get returned when viewing remotely.  Might not trigger a flush to disk if this number is lowered.

I tried the "getchat" command via rcon to see if it causes the buffer to dump to the log file...however, there might not be anything to flush on my test server.

I find it really odd we don't have realtime access to log data so we could use a "tail -f" command to keep an eye on the log as entries are added.

You can set the following launch option to force the asynchronous writer to flush each outputs:

-forcelogflush

But it can be extremely resource intensive due to how noisy logging can get and how slow filesystem calls can be. Alternatively, the following option should enable real-time logging in the server console (or an external one if set client-side):

-log

Or, you can set it to any symlinked name you want:

log=foo.log -forcelogflush

And tail that buffer.

Ah sweet.  Shouldn't be much of a problem with a low cap server.  Even if it did pose I/O issues, one could setup a small ram drive to write the logs to and sync to HD once in a while.

Thanks for the reply
