discussion about Server Locking/Booting

Recommended Posts

Right guys, this is a general discussion, not reporting servers or giving any ip's but want to know if you guys seen a increase of servers booting players/locking them up even though this breaks the ToS of server hosting?

 

A a few servers I've been playing on since they were opened but half of them seem to be booting everyone and even one of them have password there server, I don't know who is there host in order to report them to the correct hoster.

 

I believe they need to have some sort of tag to show what server host there with, in order to report abusive admins/server owners?

Yes. I have noticed im getting kicked right when I join a server lately. A lot more than a month ago.

I also think that the people renting servers found an exploit where they can be in the game, but anyone else joining just gets the wait screen. I base this on the fact that I see a shit load of servers that have only 1 playe in them, but when I join. It never has any attempt at loading the game. It just says wait in white and act like the server does not exist.

Does anyone know if this is a server exploit or a glitch?

There's only 3 or 4 different server hosts. See the stickied thread in the "Servers" section. Just send an email with all the hosts cc'd.

The real trick is knowing which server you may have joined in the first place. I tend to not pay attention to server names, just ping, game time and number of players.

You can see your last joined server in your profile config file. I hate being kicked...lol

I saw this issue back in 0.45.  I forget the server strings, but they were all from a similar host as they shared a large part of the title, with some identifier number tagged on the end.

Never associated it to what you say, but interesting...  There was usually 3-4 players and i could never get in.

Yeah, its like the guys who want to loot farm found a way to make their server seem offline when try to join. As if they changed a game file or something to make their host not talk to your client.

It could just be a glitch though since the other dirty tricks of kicking once in game works and even password protected which I have no way of understanding how they can add password protection.
