Hey everyone,
since the last update from November 3rd my server get's haunted by massive kicks due to packet flooding player tick.
I did not change anything regarding plugins or anything - and it suddenly appeared.
Does anyone else has this issue? Is there a way to fix that?
I may provide you with more details, but right now I don't know what would be important.
Kicks due to 'packet flooding player tick'
Yes, we are having it too. I think it's just a glitchy server build, hopefully they will patch it soon.
Merged post
The Steam Networking update will be here in the next couple of weeks, that may fix it.
No the steam networking "update" will F everything that whole month as FP pushes crappy update after crappy update attempting tofix there rushed and broken "update"
If you want actual help with your player packet flooding provide a list of mods and the full error players get when getting disconnected.
@Razor14150 the error message is "Packet Flooding: Player Tick". The issue happens the same regardless of plugins, I've had it happen with no plugins running at all.
I used the -swnet Steam Networking on my server for about 6 months last year. It was absolutely rock solid, noticeably better than Raknet. The only reason I stopped using it was because they switched it off until now.
yes it CAN happen on a vanilla server when its lagging horribly but 95% of the time players are kicked because a plugin is hanging up. Most of the time an addon needs to be updated and this issue is resolved... but we wont know if we dont have a plugin list to work from.
Yes you may have used it a year ago but look at all the half baked shit rust put in its game that needed 3-5 patches after the horrible release before it was working right.... honestly I dont look forward to the day they force the switch

Shows you howto fix
That fix is very specific to someone causing it via local console, it doesn't apply here but thanks for the suggestion.

ya'll could try this fix, it worked for me. added it on server.cfg and never looked back again.
