Hello guys,

recently my server is having the problem that it appears to be full, but actually it has only 20/80 players online. I've also read that some others had this problem before, but I haven't found any solution.
Would be great if somone knows what I can do, to stop this Bot Spam.

Is your server already in 0.3r2? If not, update it.

[Jeffry]

The server 0.3b R2.

Are you running it on a windows system with 50+ days of uptime?

No, it is Linux and Hosted at a german hosting company.
There have never been any problems since 1 year and 3 months now.
But since one week we permanently have this problem.

Do you might added some NPC's ? (or maybe other people connecting NPC's to your server) ? (try to kick playerid's above 20 etc)

Else i recommend contacting your hosting provider.

It just says: 7/88 players online. Even the NPCs crash when the attack comes.
Normally it should be XX/80.

These attacks are not even connected, as IsPlayerConnected does return 0 at every slot. But at filled slots by players it return 1 as usual.

That's just bad.

Try your server on a serverFFS demoserver (you can hire a free test server for 4 hours), if the problem doesnt appear then it is your server provider's fault.

In that case you need to contact them or reinstall your server, else we might need the gamemode/filterscripts to check what the problem is.

Ask the hosting company if they have installed or updated anything on the server lately, SA-MP servers shares the same library's as a few other programs.

The COD5 server had the same problem, it's a spambot, not a script problem.

Yup, I thought so too.
Is there anything that I can do to stop the bot-attack?
(Even a password in the server does not stop the bots).

Update to sa:mp 0.3c R2, that should prevent bot flood attacks from being possible.

That's what I don't want to do, because the server is going very good at 0.3b. Moving to 0.3c would set the players count to something under 10.
