Server Error

Sylic · Post by **Sylic** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:51 pm

Hello. I recently rented a CS Server and everything has been great except for a problem we've been having.

Everyday atleast once (if not more) the server will dump 95% - 100% of the players. The console message we get everytime is:

Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage:Illegibleservermessage-svc_bad

If you could shed some light as to whats causing this and if its fixable we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Our server IP is: redemption.nuclearfallout.net:27015

we are also getting this error. Just outta the blue about 75 % of the players get disconnected for no known reason. Maybe NFO can shed some light on this.

More specifically, is it something like this?

Error: server failed to transmit file 'AY&SYD'

If so, Valve has said that the most probable cause is that someone is connecting with a corrupted decal.

I'd recommend shutting down the server and using the FTP to delete custom.hpk, and if that does not help then you may need to disable custom sprays on your server.

Unfortunately thats not the error we're getting when we check the console.

Just says: Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage:Illegibleservermessage-svc_bad.

I just checked the server logs and when it drops people it doesnt show anything out of the ordinary. Just displays the above message in the console.

Have you tried disabling any plugins (such as HLGuard)?

No I sure havent. I'll give that a try and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion.
