[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Addendum: Okay now I have confirmation that this bug is present on all types of server -> even linux (got some more info from linux users as well as log files - same problem there). This should make tracking it down much easier. We just can hope that VALVe will pays more attention to this problem! I know this may not be first priority for many of you, but as you see many sites are already starting with log parsing for their homepages as well as their TOP10 lists etc. and people finally begin asking hey why they have so many suicides, missed kilss etc. cant you fix it -> I always have to say the same, that till VALVe fixed the log messages we cant do anything...! Lets push this, I guess that this bug will not be hard to fix, it just needs to get recognized... Thanks in advance,
