I am having issues with this error: Reliable Channel Overflow. I know this is often caused by plugins, Ive noticed this error a lot when developing plugins but now I also have them on my main server and it's really hurting my traffic.rnrnAs far as plugins, I've come to a point where I only have one plugin enabled, syns_weaponmod. Ive never had this issue before with this plugin so I highly doubt if it's this plugin.rnrnI've contacted my server provider and he claims that it's an old steam bug which never got fixed. Anyone have some intell on this matter as this is clearly messing up my traffic flow.

What do you have in your motd I got rid of mine by moving my motd to my webserver and putting a redirect on the gameserver

I put like 3 lines of text in motd.txt, however someone else told me about motd.txt as well, I might change that one to see what that does.

ok thats odd, i got alot of shit running and no problem at all, take a look at the imessage plugin and disable its console prints and maybe take a look at the nextmap one aswell, i made my own version of that nextmap one e.g. ... i cant comeup with any other ideas..

its usually caused by too many 'messages' (usually reliable msgs, most commonly tempentities) being sent to clientsnnbut if you only got one plugin running, that probably isnt it lolnnnn..also i cant remember if its this, svc_bad, or both.. that can be caused by having a bunch of LARGE text files being used, such as an extremely large amxx.cfg, motd.txt, map configs, etc...

btw do u have that /rank stats thing running? cuz if 10 ppl say /rank at the same time something might happen idk tho just a thought.. Iam pretty sure it isnt that motd. i use alot of those and no problem here... overall i dont think the HL engine really can manage 32 for more then maybe an hour or so.. I havent seen a dod server with 32 slots that can say full all the time. not even that korean one that #1 on gametrackers ive added that to hlsw and it also makes some huge drops sometimes... it would be quite easy make it throw some time stamps in a log file and see how long it can say full or over 30... mine made a good job the last hours but it also have some drops sometimes.... http://www.game-monitor.com/dod_GameServer/195.90.98.19:27016/GSSMOKERLOUNGEAVA_247-History.html

dod_kalt is an map that can result often in servercrash or bugeffects like you told ..the best is to minimalize your plugin amount by running maps like this. maps with fewer amount of entities are often the source of servercrashes. the servercrashes comes only with plugins running that fires entities too - that can flood the serverengine..

any plugins shots to many entities...maybe launches set_task's or remove wrong tasks...that can result in problems.rnto check what plugin is responsible you have to read the sources of all running plugins and solve all (logic) bugs in them.rnto check if ANY plugin is responsable for your problem just disable ALL plugins for an time of one gaming-evening - if nobody has the problem anymore that shows you that any plugin is the ,,bad boy,, .

Yeah, thats what I figured....but now comes the good part, I even get it without plugins...rnrnThats why I am getting sick and tired of this. Normally disabling plugins fixes it...guess someone above (Steam) has it going for me

Metamod: Latest version is v1.19 (Apr 17). nn
what cpu-type of rootserver is used to run the gameserver?nNo idea what you mean by this, this is the info NFO provides me:nn
Your server is currently being hosted on a node with with 4 Intel processor cores, each running at 2.66 ghz, and has 4 gigabytes of RAM. The database code for this node is nyc-quad266, its OS is Windows, and this is its current health, based on the last 5 minute period:nnCPU usage: 18.11%nBandwidth usage: 2.57%nFree physical memory: 1514mbnMachine uptime: 119 days, 9 hours, 17 minutes, 52 secondsnn
what type of binary is used for the gameserver-prozess?nnAgain no idea what you mean by this.nnMax amount of players possible: 32

binary type - just look at root cmd top what binary is used (maybe like hlds_i486 or ..i686 ).rnrn-try to reduce to 31 slots that no 32th slot is used! (fullhouse-bug)rn-have you the startcmd for the gameserver-process ? so that can help to solve problems..
