Cc and drunkenf00l, no one else is allowed look Cc: "Have you done a traceroute/ping to your server to see if it's a network issue?"
Yes, numerous times and see zero loss, but occasional an ever so slight raise in the ping. traceroute gets through just fine as well. Cc: "Is your server running on a higher priority than other services on your machine? What else is running on the machine? It's possible another program is taking over the available resources on the server and causing this "freezing lag," or you are having some type of network issue." Yes, the game servers are running abovenormal and at one point used to run them as high. I messed with assigning instances to different processors and then dropped it back to all processors. No, there is nothing else running software wise. The box is solely for game servers. Removed IIS and everything else I could. Windows defender, all... Cc: "Do you guys have the anti-DDoS plugin installed? There is a flood script out there that can do something similar to that which that plugin can help deter." I am running to see if its an exploit the following plugins at the time: sm_rconlock "0.2.8" (Just added today and its still happening) sm_commandblocker_version "1.0" dosp_version "1.0.0.0" daf_version "Version 3 of SourceOP.com DoS Attack Fix Plugin" DFool: "It is an attack. It's A2S_INFO query spam on spoofed IP addresses........." Do any of the above mentioned plugins I am using protect against this particular exploit? If not can you add "physics_select" and "A2S_INFO" to the command blocker plugin? I did verify like Tony that the physics cmd crashes server in console, but in game I can not get it to do anything simply by spamming the cmd in console. As far as a network issue, I suppose my next step is have the box moved to a different rack maybe later on this evening. Perhaps that will help. But, so far, all appropriate traffic seems to be able to go to and from the box. Hell I used my linux box at the house and just left constant ping on for hours to see if I would get any loss and nothing, except again I would notice a very slight raise in the response. Normally it responds 12-15ms, and it would jump to maybe 18 to 21ms. Nothing severe, and again with no loss...
