Why does direct connect crash renegade, whereas connecting to a server through XWIS is more stable?

What do you mean? Direct connect is just as stable as XWIS. It's just that with DC, if you disconnect from the server it is programmed to exit. Which makes sense when you consider that DC was only created to support Gayspy.

I've never really had problems with DC, to be honest... how exactly is it unstable?

Well players that use RR, Gamespy or Direct Connect to our server crash out constantly, whereas the ones that use WOL never crash at all.

This needs to be in Win32 FDS. (Or Linux FDS if you run the Linux FDS)

Any server side modifications on your server?

Do they crash at certain moments / times (e.g. on game join or when using a command?)?

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Well, obviously something is wrong at your server then, as none seem to have this problem besides you.

hmm, really it seams that skins are the main factor, leave hook can cause problems at times but they are the only player related issues.

The only thing I could think of that may be slightly different is bandwidth control. It may be so that it doesn't take the settings set up in the WOL config correctly. Other than that, there's hardly a difference between WOL and direct connect. I've never heard about any problems with it either...
