Bots have been turned off, this server is running FreeBSD using Beta 3 Linux Dedicated.

I had this problem on the server a lot, until I was advised to remove the bot files and it hasn't happened again.

Here's a screenshot of what the problem looked like:

You mentioned before that the Windows server also sometimes does this, correct?

I haven't seen this bug before on a Windows server.

Yah, sorry the confusion. The Windows server bug was something else entirely, I guess.

Hrm, I guess deleting the bots didn't help. The problem just occured. Ah well.

Those aren't bots.
This happens when the server crashes or gives an exception or any kind of error. Players get connection problems and the server fills with players with 0 ping:(. I'm trying to fix it...

Thanks for the post Michal.

I didn't think they were bots - didn't fit.

And I'd never heard of that in a Windows server before, thanks for ending that idea lol
