Bug or hax?
« on: December 01, 2006, 09:06:42 am »
Now, I know I've posted a similar post in the troubleshooting section, but I think this is an issue worthy of a wider coverage, as it doesn't quite fulfil the criteria of either.

Recently, some of us on the GA (gamearena) servers have been plagued with messages about how we cannot join the aliens/humans because that team is too large.  In the middle of a game.

This is a serious issue, as whenever we go to attack, it is activated repeatedly, stopping us from attacking.  It is almost definitely a hax, as it happens when I'm a human and I'm plagued with alien messages.

If this is indeed a hax, as it most likely is, I propose that a call be made out to all programmers/hackers/1337s to make a counter hax.

If it is not a hax, then a solution would be appreciated.

Thats a known and OLD bug, just tell the admins of your server to be a little more up-to-date  :roll: I m quite sure there is a patch for it...but others will tell you this better than me

Fixed in SVN829 (9th October 2006).
If my answer to your problem doesn't seem helpful, it means I won't help you until you show some effort to fix your problem yourself!

Yes, very old bug, and annoying one too. Pity GA has no admins.

Simple solution. Don't play on old abandoned servers.

You missed the feedback thread..

Making 2 identical threads in different sections helps noone.. it allows paralell communication on the same topic and just creates confusion.. people read both, and people who were interested or had something to say would read the section with this thread in it anyway.. please don't thread spam for attention.

Negative.

There are 3 GameArena servers, and more often than not all 3 are full, or almost full. Currently the only Australian servers, its just GameArena (ISP Provider Owned) has not seeked admins.

Then you should seek out what causes this error...
The one that gets this is always on player-slot 0 ...
