Buffer Overflow in Net Message

GeoKill-----> · 07-25-2008, 11:18 PM

I was getting PM that people were having Buffer Overflow in Net Message every time red team capture a command point on Palermo. Everyone on red team got disconnected after getting that error.

What do you guys think it is? Last changes I made to the server was the FF Hud Clock, I removed it and will check latter if that was the problem...

It was when the team captured CP4, the entire defending team got the error and disconnected as soon as the cap happened. The very instant.

Happened twice, with both teams.

That was fun, no?

Yeah, someone removed the clock on the server; we changed to Aardvark and it was gone, so we assume it was fixed.

We don't know the clock was causing it, though.

My kids been getting that error. I've tried everything I can think of short of reinstall. He's been getting 75 to 200 choke but all tracerts look fine and my rig plays fine so I'm sure it's a local issue on his end.

It sounds like some sort of connection issue

I used to get this all the time. It was my router causing it, though.

Very interesting we are on the same router maybe I'll switch lines with him even though I moved him from 2 to 3 already.

Also on palermo, other people on different teams were randomly getting it at random times, not just on the last cap. The last cap is where it was worst though.
