{Trv} played a clan last night that dominated us for the first half of<br>
a HQ 4x4 match. Several of my Vservers had people on it.<br>
(Box is a DUAL 3.2Ghz P4 HT 4G Redhat ES 2.4, 2.6 SMP Kernel.)<br>
<br>
Ran fine that entire half, and 5 mins in to the second half until we<br>
started dominating as Allies. Then all users on this HQ server were<br>
kicked. (All other servers were not impacted at all). It happened <br>
3 mins later. Each time there was no error indication in the server<br>
log or console log, simply "Server Shutdown", and time starts at
00:00.<br>
<br>
It got so bad, it ended up in a nasty event once they were up 240 to 15.<br>
Then the server started crashing repeatedly. We kicked them and banned<br>
them.<br>
<br>
I never restarted the executable. We played on the server (9 of us) 5 vs 4<br>
(Mostly because I am so bad, whoever has be has a disadvantage, so in<br>
this case the team with 4 had the advantage :-0 ) It never crashed once.<br>
<br>
Anyone seen this? This is COD, not COD:UO.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
