Save player account | OnPlayerUpDate or Timer ? - jcvag44800 - 11.04.2012
Hi guys !
I am looking for a way to record the accounts of players in a server crash for example.

What is the best solution?
Cordially.

I've experienced crashes on my server and there are only two ways wherein I save a player's data, I placed them under OnPlayerDisconnect and OnGameModeExit, it actually works fine so there's no need for me to save them on timers which requires usage of RAM causing lag on your server from what I know of, especially if they're called every second or two.
Note: I'm not sure of this, but it works just right in my case.

If I were you i'd just make it save under OnPlayerDisconnect, and OnGameModeExit too.

If the server is gmx'd in the console while player's are one, their data will be lost. You have to call
