Level loading repeatedly on empty server.

[Scarab]

Our server is empty (as usual, but that's whole other story), but I noticed this new symptom recently since moving the server from NYC to Chicago and after the latest patch.

The Procon console shows once or twice per minute that it's loading the level (same map).

Example:
05/21/2012 23:37:04 LevelLoaded ConquestLarge0 MP_001
05/21/2012 23:37:50 LevelLoaded ConquestLarge0 MP_001
05/21/2012 23:38:35 LevelLoaded ConquestLarge0 MP_001
05/21/2012 23:39:21 LevelLoaded ConquestLarge0 MP_001
05/21/2012 23:39:52 LevelLoaded ConquestLarge0 MP_001

And so on, and so on. We have some plugins running, but I can't figure out why it's doing this. Ideas?

Does this also happen if you disable those plugins, or stop using Procon completely? These aren't symptoms I have heard of before, so my guess is a Procon plugin is bugging out or not configured correctly.

We're still running the same 5 plugins as before moving the server, and the newest patch. I also noticed it's not consistently doing this. It appears to be an issue between midnight and 4AM, it's just odd.

Adaptive Server Size (Running since January)
Adaptive Ticket Count (January)
Chat Filter BF3 (running since last November)
Spambot (running since last November)
True Balancer BF3 (running since March)

I hesitate to turn them off, but that's probably the best course of action if no one has any other ideas.

None of those plugins initiate map restart that I recall.

We had this kind of same thing, but when someone joins the server, and you spawn in, the server immediately restarts the map after 5-15 secs. I think it's a bug to do with the server waiting for more players before scoring can happen. But might be something else.

Only happens when server is empty and the first person joins.

Maybe you have people joining your server at that time and then they disconnect when it restarts the map?

I've been disabling plugins to check, and none seem to have an effect on it. I don't see this as an issue, was just curious about what it might be because it's never really done it before. It may have been introduced recently and I never noticed.

With 23 patches in 7 months, nothing would surprise me. Seems 7 out of 10 players from the original launch no longer play the game, and that's more sad than anything else. But that's a whole other thread and story.

Started I found after the last patch.
