I have more or less figured out a way to stop my game from timing out but I wish the sa:mp team could make it so these renegades don't attack innocent people. It is extremely frustrating. I also wanted to ask, when I install sa:mp the samp installer attempts to modify "C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3dx9_25.dll" what is the purpose of this modification? If i don't allow the modification the game still plays fine, why does it attempt to modify this file? What is the purpose? Thanks for your time.

And how are admins supposed to send those "malformed packets"? Rhetorical question, but still, and why would admins do it? It would as you said, frustrate clients and make them believe the server sucks, then they don't come back. I am an admin (Scripter and Owner in fact) and I would NEVER timeout my clients. It's stupid, has no point, loses valuable clients, and what you say is most likely a false statement.
