Rcon bans someone for too many failed password attempts (to discourage guessing/brute forcing). Currently, when it tries to ban someone, it just flat out crashes instead.
You can fix this by blocking rcon access for all IPs but ones you pre-approve, with whatever firewall you're using on your server. Rcon uses TCP on your servers port (27015 by default), all other game traffic uses UDP. - Neph chillicane wrote: > for us noobs, can you elaborate this, are you saying if you use the wrong > password and issue ANY rcon command the server will crash? > > > On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Matthew Crain<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > >> It looks like the RCon bad password crash is back following this last >> update.
