Hi,

Today looking at the server log I found these messages:

I think it's not related with the R4 update, probably it's related with the 'playertimeout' var which I set to 4 seconds to avoid to kick players during a DDoS attack (the anti-DDoS service takes one or two seconds to stabilize the connection).

When one of this messages appears, the server close the connection with the player. In most cases I can confirm that the server wasn't under attack, and the last message appears when the server had only 2 players.

Thanks!

You can increase messageholelimit to 5000 or higher, even 10000 will work fine.

But the problem isn't that the limit is exceeded, it's negative. Increasing the value I think it won't change anything.
Can a player has a negative number of lost packets?

3000 per second are quite a lot, even for dos attacks. Id rather say its per minute, that would be 50 packets per second. Afaik the normal client shouldnt send more than 30 packets per second.
