Re: [hlds] Servers banning an IP without understandable reason

[P. Bhandal]

That's pretty unusual. If it's not doing anything rcon based, the only
possibility I can come up with is the frequency of your queries. Even so, I
don't believe that SRCDS automatically IP bans for excessive queries, to my
knowledge it simply throttles them.

Some relevant CVARs you might want to look at are:

sv_max_queries_sec
sv_max_queries_sec_global
sv_max_queries_window

To eliminate excessive queries as a culprit I'd just jack the
sv_max_queries_sec way up, and then see if the issue recurs.

Re: [hlds] ClipRayToVPhysics crash and other related crash

[Kyle Sanderson]

For me, one player joins then the server instantaneously crashes... After I
added this kids SteamID to my servers banlist it hasn't crashed for the past
36hours... Which says a lot to me.

However this topic has been hijacked so lets try to bring it back to Tony's
issue with ClipRayToVPhysics. Just thought I should throw out there that the
GSP is running CentOS and I'm running a Counter-Strike Source server.
Kyle.

Re: [hlds] Servers banning an IP without understandable reason

[Rolf Hanßen]

Hi,

does not work, problem re-appeared.
The query I do works without any password, it just requests the public
data (players, map, kills).

Please don't get me wrong! I have this issue since months but there were a
few days where it didn't occure; until yesterday.

I've read that this is only a problem according to windows servers, not
linux.

Well, I do support for a GSP and I haven't seen a single ticket about this 
issue. Either our customers aren't experiencing it, or they simply aren't 
seeking support from us for it.

Once you start running 50+ servers and have complaining customers, it 
becomes pretty obvious it is a bug.  In my experience Neph's plugin 
didn't solve the problem.

Once you start running 50+ servers and have complaining customers, it 
becomes pretty obvious it is a bug.  In my experience Neph's plugin 
didn't solve the problem.

I would have said this too until yesterday when one of my 6 L4D servers had
this timeout issue *three times in a row*.
My girlfriend and me have set cl_timeout to 120 seconds. This really helps.
After about a minute the server is back and the game progress isn't lost.

I would say it is obvious that it is a bug and not the problem of only a few
people.
