Death Warrant Forums

But IS it an attacker? The crashes occurred mostly just before till just after the map voting. Also, just before it crashes, Stat Net tells me that I recieve Unorderd packets(packets that aren't the same as how they were sent when they arrive at the server), this indicates that it could be a calculation problem in the server or the dedicated engine. I heard of servers with a similar problem, They were all talking about something called servertravel:
it might sound simplistic, but you will never know without checking

in ut2004.ini in tcp section
the servertravel=4 set to 0 or 2 and this bug will quit you
(Source: http://forums.beyondunreal.com/archive/ ... 69996.html)

Also, I read that commands like: Changename, changecharacter and changeclass can cause serious issues with the server engine, how or why that is, I do not know, but it is worth checking.

Maybe a stupid question, but did you try to reinstall the data? Clear caches? etc. Basic fixes never hurt, just make sure to backup:)

However, If it really is an attacker, it is either a 10 year old with no life. Or someone who is using the server as a tether to attack subservers. If it is the second option, it would be clear by now, as UT still actively monitors these kinds of hackings and shuts down any connection to the servers IP adress. If it were a DDos attack, we would experience massive lag before the constand crashes, but this did not happen(Stat Net shows normal numbers, but a second before it crashes, I recieve 2 to 4 unordered packets. It just went POOF after that and we could not do anything else the Simulation, which crashed after every 2 mins without lag as warning. I found 2 more sites with useful info(perhaps) about these kind of issues.

On the page of the link there are possibilities on how to easily attack a server, maybe you'll get leads from this info.

Contains Core.dll and engine.dll fixes, might be the key to figuring out what might be wrong in the gamecode itself, since the problem could be closer to home then you'd expect.

Epic games post about the usage of ports

The dangers of TCP against UDP

That is all I can do for the moment, My experience with servers is very limited and I have no access to the actual server files, so who knows, maybe the key is on these pages somewhere.

LoL!

"Perhaps some day, it'll become public again" - That does not sound good...at all.
Oh well, I'm getting used to playing on DW Chicago now, but it's just not the same.

Also, Sokoro's post is kinda scary...

well, sokoro is actually related to mafia and many criminal activities...
if he wanted to take a man out, he could just pay off someone to do it for him...

lol, where did you get that impresion? I actualy hate mafia and criminals and would prefer to just kill them too. I take it very personaly when someone try to negatively affect my life or my planet Earth as a whole. I would love to purge the Earth of all disfunctionaling humans so that the end reasult is close to heaven.

Yeah I know I sometimes sound like some psychopat or something, but I am actualy a nice person. I love to help people, whenever in-game or with some software development, providing information, mapping for games, donating various ammounts of money to free content providers ($500, $250, $67, $16), etc..

You all should love me ;-P

Sokoro, just buy all ISP companies that are located in the....whats the hacker's countryland again?

that will fix the issue....

He's hit the nail on the head - there may just be a fault with the server rather than someone actively trying to bring it down.

If someone had a vendetta against Monster Evolution, then why wouldn't they attempt to take down ALL of the clanDW servers? It doesn't make sense. The isolated nature of this disruption suggests to me that the ME server has just developed some technical fault and the "attacker" doesn't actually exist.

Um, no.

Posting some facts to backup your argument would probably have better effect than "um, no"

So I take it that you have a proof that it is a hacker, but just do not want to share it, right?
