All my NPCs disconnect during course of the day, one after another, without particular order, in quite long time spans. All NPC use same recording, which lasts about 15 mins and repeats.

This is a sample from server log right before an NPC timeouts:

I'm getting this before each NPC disconnects, 0 reason means 'Time out', there is 12 NPCs in my 64 slot server, hosted by ServerFFS. This never happened until about 2-3 weeks ago. Only NPCs are affected by this, players don't timeout. 188.165.199.40 is my server IP, i don't know it shows up as NPC IP instead of 127.0.0.1 but is always worked.

Anyone know reason why?

hmmm i have 2 servers on FFS but i got somthing like this before i just kicked them all and added new npc's and it worked try that becouse youre bot id 13 was timeouting and sending too many packets so youre server couldn't handle or rename the bot to Train_Driver_77

[Scenario]

I'm sure you attempted to restart your server? Check your CPU usage, anything out of the ordinary?

[mick88]

No it wasn't only one NPC, all of them. Anyways, I managed to solve the problem, I removed the FS that caused the problem. Still, it's very strange that a filterscript I was using for quite long suddenly starts acting up without even being recompiled/changed...
