After installing the plugin, I've been experienced terrible lag problems each time I die (only for myself), and other people would get the same when they die. Each time I would get killed, my death is delayed by a few seconds, and I see the ping going up in net_graph and the update rate going really down.
I've talked to other people on the server, they all experienced the same problem when they would get killed. I believe this has something to do with the stats tracking when you get killed. I've disabled the plugin and this problem disappeared. 2009/2/12 Nephyrin Zey <[email protected]> > I suspect you are noticing some of the other (plentiful) bugs that can > cause clients to timeout and crash.
