Re: [hlds] %n - Change your nickname today!
uh, interesting theory. In CPP having "%n" in a string is supposed to indicate that after the string there's a pointer to an integer, and obviously there wouldn't be one, so it has a fit and dies. Perhaps that's more likely :/ - Bruce "Bahamut" Andrews sebastian nielsen wrote: I think the bug is as following: When a client dies , he send a deathMSG containing name of player he got killed by and her own name.

I did this and noticed that almost everytime I died (not very often), someone would time out. We should all prefix our names with %n.
