=VG= BLuDKLoT Posted August 22, 2012 at 08:08 PM Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 at 08:08 PM PR is unstable, horribly coded, full of bugs and unreliable! I tried again to play and quickly remembered why I stopped playing it. Server crashed twice, 2 different maps, it's just frustrating and impossible to have fun while enduring that nonsense.

Bottom86 Posted August 23, 2012 at 09:37 AM Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 at 09:37 AM When the server is populated it attracts the more serious pr players. That is when it is second to none.I have a STEAM account with some games we do not play anymore, perhaps you could use them as prizes, or incentives to other STEAM account holders who play here.Bottom out.

=VG= BLuDKLoT Posted August 23, 2012 at 09:06 PM Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 at 09:06 PM From Branzone regarding the purge we experienced yesterday:Hi Scott,BF2 still have exploits that allow servers to get flooded or crashed. I checked the logs and it looks like a player was kicked and 10 seconds later everyone else disconnected:[08.22.2012 14:56:59] Kick Command Issued (MD5Tool Mismatch: dbghelp.dll (len=2048)) for (slot#6) 212.226.75.95:60883 cd98e855c1c24e9de2470 (Fin)samsppa[08.22.2012 14:56:59] Lost Connection (slot #6) 212.226.75.95:60883 cd98e855c1c24e9de247(-) (Fin)samsppa[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #10) 173.206.169.224:57551 2de752edebefc7efc06d(-) aarongooding[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #13) 75.84.54.0:53002 df089391f52a7bff6ae2(-) =VG= BLuDKLoT[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #14) 71.192.12.154:64806 e47089245633db7fd6706c(-) Born2Kill(Airborne)[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #16) 99.251.119.139:59649 7cc8ba22849e75671e4c(-) =HOG= NaturalBornTarget[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #12) 50.125.87.18:53075 992eff9f0bc0a102db66e41f7d(-) =]H[= De4dByD4wn[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #7) 91.97.199.252:64221 46c70f4f3d5147c56056d8a810(-) [GER] NordwaII[08.22.2012 14:57:09] Lost Connection (slot #8) 79.186.54.212:53105 8ffcae1d477dd01a95e22a7c06(-) Oskar1582[PL][08.22.2012 14:58:52] Lost Connection (slot #4) 83.168.75.169:1424 f92012cca4d38cdfca8553dede(-) RafiPolPerhaps that user triggered the disconnects. We have other busy BF2 servers that get crashed several times a day because they are ranked high on server tracking websites. There's no preventative measure that we can take to prevent these types of exploits from happening. I wouldn't say that every instance is caused by this but this one looks like that's probably what happened.--Brandon M.GUID's edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Melon Muncher Posted August 23, 2012 at 10:19 PM Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 at 10:19 PM Blud sams a regular player and a good guy he was telling me a few weeks ago that he was getting kicked by PB. I'm quite sure he's not responsible and I'm sure others would agree with me.Blud Albasrah is a very unstable map deployment and coop wise maybe move it to the end of the rotation and will help slow down some crashes.

=VG= BLuDKLoT Posted August 24, 2012 at 02:38 AM Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 02:38 AM Something is wrong with the maplist. It won't allow me to edit, rather it won't keep my changes. After I reboot the server it reverts to it's default maplist...wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTF_MB Posted August 24, 2012 at 06:47 AM Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 06:47 AM Hi Blud.I am personally not bored with the game.But then again it?s not that often the game itself. It?s the gameplay. And I love the coop when we are many on it.I just wish that more played it. It?s a bit sad that other servers have players and Vg is empty.I try to go in and with a presence attract players, but playing alone. That?s when the game, or any game get?s booring.The crashes are a problem that?s true. They interrupt the game when yoo finally has got something set up.

=VG= Fastjack Posted August 24, 2012 at 01:57 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 01:57 PM MD5 Tool Mismatch - happens, if u mess around with your original pr stuff and/or modified it accidently.It can happen, if he installed a map, that was not renamed and modified the original one.That can be tested.6 guys joining a server (any map).One of him modify any map, doesn't matter which one. Than, all joining the server.If the guy with the modified map get kicked for MD5Tool, we can look if the otherones get kicked too or the server crashs.More infos about the error:[08.22.2012 14:56:59] Kick Command Issued (MD5Tool Mismatch: dbghelp.dll (len=2048)) for (slot#6) 212.226.75.95:60883 cd98e855c1c24e9de2470 (Fin)samsppahttp://www.winasm.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= BLuDKLoT Posted August 24, 2012 at 10:44 PM Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 10:44 PM I'm still not sure of the solution but the problem is, once we get the server going, it crashes and then nobody comes back. It's been like this for as long as I can remember, even with our last provider. But at least with them, we didn't have all these other issues with the maplist. Not sure if it's even fixable?

Bottom86 Posted August 25, 2012 at 07:32 AM Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 at 07:32 AM I haven't been getting kicked for that md5tool thingy since i reinstalled and no longer run the sound mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted August 25, 2012 at 12:48 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 at 12:48 PM Any changes we make to the map list (PR or FH2) using BF2CC do not stick on a server reset and we have to log back in and change all the maps again.
