My server keeps playing up. After about 20 or so minutes it comes up with the error thing that says it had to close. Anybody able to help?

um, are you using the console dedicated server (the black with white text) or are you using the built-in server in the soldat client?

Latest. The Box with a black background and white text. The one you have to download, something like 2.3.7.

can you take a screenshot of it the next time this happens, so that we can see what you're talking about?

Here's what I'm talking about

Also, I can't join through local, and it drains to much internet speed to join through the internet.

I don't know what this is, but I followed it through and came to this

This post will probably be huge, but maybe something for someone like MM to look at.

I used to get server crashes when I ran the dedicated server and the admin tool at the same time. Try running the server but don't leave the admin tool running, only open it when you need it.

When you want to join your own server, join through the IP "localhost"

I run the ARSSE to improve my server. Without it it becomes pretty ordinary.
Would it have any affect if it was run from a different location?

ah whoops, i didn't look close enough to realize that was ARSSE in the background. I think it is only the normal admin tool which has problems when run on the same computer, so nevermind what i said.

what else do you have running on your computer at the same time as this? Michal has done a lot to improve the compatability of the client with other programs running at the same time, but the server may have issues with other programs running in the background. Try closing all your programs for a while and see if the server crashes like it "usually" does or not.

I had it running all day today, no ARSSE, and it played up. Didn't touch the computer at all.
Would windows media player have any affect (just sitting on, not playing anything)?
