I'm running MetaMod and SourceMod, with SuperLogs and HLStatsX, that is all, and i've disabled most normal SourceMod plugs on the L4D2 servers.
I found this binary plugin, DoS Attack Fixer. http://sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=9 I can get it to load on TF2, but not on L4D2, anyone else had any luck getting this to work? As I said, i'm not sure that this is the cause of it, but I have found multiple references about A2C_PRINT dos attacks, and it sure looks like it could be the case. But, if anyone have any ideas as to what could cause these intermittent freezes / disconnects, i'm all ears. >It's in the first line of the log he pasted ;) > >Are you running any addons (+ plugins) on both servers? >The "No challenge" lines can usually be ignored from what I heard. > >-----Original Message----- >From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com >[mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Saul >Rennison >Sent: Mittwoch, 12.
