Disconnects and Demo ban, when will it end?

[hunt4rd]

Imho it's quite evident that the demomen aren't the cause of the disconnects. I suspect another change made at that time, maybe the reserved slots or more likely the bombfrog. The disconnects happen very often when the countdown is at 1, ie when the player is about to explode. Personally I think the bomb frog is very OP anyway, you can blow up a whole team and easily cap points, especially on Attack/Defend maps with only 2 points. All you have to do is run in the general direction...

Please do something, I'm tired of the restarts, of 2Fort and Dustbowl and I really miss the Demo.

Yah im pretty sure ive crashed the server from killing too many people with my taliban frog a few times now.

And can't you just ban the targe if thats the problem? i miss the spamoman

I agree that the bomb frog might be cause of the disconnects. Many times the counter has reached 1 and just as i am about to explode the server disconnects. Ash, maybe you could try removing the bomb frog for a while to see if the server is more stable? I personally dont like the bomb frog that much anyway as it is wayyyy too powerful.

Will you please take off these player nukes, arhh so annoying in so many ways.
I also agree that they cause around 40%+ of the server crashes, and on top of that how cheap and overpowering are those things anyway. I mean, if it was made so you got 500 hp when you picked it up and it slowly drained you down to 5 hp until you explode then people couldn't sprint into large groups of people and blow up killing 7 or 8 without even doing anything.
Or possible make the map random each time the server crashes? Most people don't use the 'rtv' feature so you end up having to play 2fort on every crash.
But aye, remove the nukes! Evil things.
