Is it just me ? , or my server ? or what ?rnrnbut I have noticed since the next to last steam update that when we play kalt on my server.rnrnit runs fine for a while ( 10 minutes maybe ) and then the trouble starts.rnrnit starts kicking people , all the way to their desktop , untill the server is empty pretty much , you can rejoin and play for a little while and you get booted again.rnrnI noticed on it charlie of late too , but no other maps.rnrnKalt use to be a problem with dod_technican and "reliable channel over flow" "kicking when you used the zook" now its just random streight to the desk toprnrnanyone else ?

Yeah it's happend to me even before the last update, and we have an off sight motd set up a long time ago that was supposed to fix svc_bad errors, and it did for a long time.rnrnThe answer I found that will drasticly reduce it, or get rid of it all together, is to change your sv_timeout from 60, to 22 or less. Put it in your server.cfg and reboot.rnrnI have mine at 22 at the moment, and it has dropped way less people than before. I am going to try 20 to see if it will snuff it out completly.rnrnGood Luck.

I banned Kalt months ago... Kalt HAS always been a 50/50 map.. some servers have absolutely no problem with it, others get what you say.. connection errors trying to join it... n nMy opinion, the map is small and not always that fun, but there are still 30+ other stock maps.. one less isn't anything to cry over.. so simply count it as a non-playable map.

hmm i dont really understand how decreasing the timeout value would prevent ppl from crashing...nnall it means is the server 'waits' less time to actually remove them after they've lost communication to the client.. all i would think it would really do is make 'lagged out' players disappear faster...nntho im pretty sure i was reading on maybe the amxx forums that some other ppl were having trouble after the last steam update.. with it sucking up more & more bandwith for no reason..

had channel overflow but that was fixed when motd was fixed (reduced size of it) and took a bunch of unneeded plugins out. and also removed a shitload of map entities i added myself.

My channel over flow problem wasnt from the motd , its with the plugin dod_technician , i have found that the only way you can reload your zook or your sidearm is by using the quick switch method and when you quick switch enough , you get booted ( channel over flow boot ) if you dont play as the zook class on kalt , you dont get kicked with the channel thing.rnrnbut kalt has been crashing people all the way to their desktop and now charlie has been too.rnrnits like , you`ll go to jump or move or even fire , and your screen freezes for a second and you hear the gun sound repeat 4 or 6 times and poof you`re at your desk top.

2 words - AVALANCHE OWNSn nWhile I wouldn't go that far ... I will say.. it IS the map.. changing the MOTD (even making it EMPTY) does not help ... there is just some odd issue that only STEAM can fix.. and NEVER will... there response is simply "deal with it" and is why I simply stopped allowing it to be played..n nNOW, what IS an issue and still has yet to be identified and its not restricted to Charlie or any specific map I have determined (happens on alot) IS simply that players are getting disconnected .. it could be a third party plugin (which I have proven it is not by removing ALL of them) or the AMXX current build itself (or one of its modules) but without a specific error (and trust me the errors are stupid and cryptic) they will deny at amxmodx thats its them... so the fact of the matter is this.. the game is over 6 years old and has already surpassed its expected shelf life... SOURCE is out now and THAT is the top priority, and even DOD in source falls short of being at the top of the list... do not hold your breath waiting for a fix or a repair... just consider the map useless and move on...

the dod devt said a long time ago that they wern`t supporting dod 1.3 anymore.rnrnwhy ?rnrnbecause there is no money in it.rnrnbut I bet if there was a problem with cs , they would be all over itrnrnwhy ?rnrnbecause there is a lot of money involved in it.rnrnever since CAL dropped dod 1.3 things have been going down hill.rnrnthe problem that Steam has right now is , people still love and play dod 1.3 and they don`t like source at all....that poses a problem for them since they spent tons on source and went over budget and well , when it didnt hit like they wanted it to , they have been doing everything they can to bug dod 1.3 and make it unplayable.rnrnthats just my opinion , but i bet its close to the truth.rnrnwhy ?rnrnbecause when I asked the guys at the dod forums when they were going to start supporting dod 1.3 again , because no one was playing source , they banned me right away.

Has anyone figured out the problem with kalt yet ?rnrnI have nothing in my Motd and i still get the reliable channel overflow BS and kicked.rnrnthen Kalt kicks everyone all day long , over flow or not.rnrnI tried the timeout thing , and all that did was make it so many people couldnt get in the server ( thanks for that suggestion but it doesnt work )

Your MOTD is blank and it still kicks people?rnrnI put this in our MOTD:rnrn
<html> rnrn<frameset cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="no" border="0"> rn<frame src="http://www.502nd-pir.clanservers.com/Server/motd.html" name="frame_main" /> rn</frameset> rnrn</html>rnrnAnd having a MOTD.html in the DoD directory with the actual contents of the MOTD. This helped our Kalt problem, not sure if would work with you

i tried the "sv_timeout 22" thing for a few days..nnall it did was kill my overall server traffic.. because with such a low timeout value.. most players were timing out before they even got into the server...nnbut i guess it did help with mass player drops.. since most ppl couldnt connect fully to begin with.. they werent there to get disconnected mid-game lol

Do you have a plugin, like cl_timeout (v1.1) running?

I did notice today just a minor few having a connect problem, but for the most part It works. The question is, what is going on here.rnrnTry upping yours to 33 or a bit higher, better than nothing.

Shruggs, worked great for me, ask jondoe, he is MAUGHOLD, you may be running too many cfg,ini,txt files, or could be a ram problem, or not enough ram for that setting? https://www.dodplugins.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1013&page=2.rnrnI would like to see this setting explained more though, for larger amounts of ram up to 4 Gigs.

That now it drops so low the server crashes.rnrnWhat do your debug logs say about the crashes ?.rnrnDo you know how much ram is running on the box you're on ?.rnrnDo you know how many other servers on the box with your's.rnrnFinally: keep track of this thread i started over at amxx.rnhttp://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=589950#post589950rnrnI submited a bug question to the steam support help desk, I'll post my findings ASAP.rnIt takes them about a week to get answer the ticket. God i hate this bug.
