Everynight, starting from like 5:30 central to about 2:00 the amount of server restarts is insane.
Its been acting like this for the past week. Impossible to run a server on...what is the alternative that bhs has made?

i still think some one has figured out a way to crash the system

at all the same time, watch various server chans

servers crash all at once

Yup. My 42/44 player keeps crashing. At first I thought it was the FDS Exploit as I hadn't patched it.. but it's happened many times after I did patch it. Very annoying when you got a full server and their happily playing Evil or Very Mad

Yeah, I've also noticed allot of big servers crashing at the same time. It doesn't matter what server-side software or bots they are running. They all crash.

I really don't think this could be caused by WOL.

Even with our alternative, I don't see how it would help if this is a batch FDS exploit attack.

I'm the bawss.

!setnextmap <map>

listen here, you can only do !setmap once every 2 maps because the next one reverts to the original rotation integreity. Not to mentio this method is buggy and sometimes results in permanant rotation alteration.
OHH this can only be done by mods.

None of this would be an issue if people would just host on gamespy :rolleyes: perhaps wol being down for a couple of weeks would be a good thing Razz
