Hello bro, your plugin seemed very interesting to me, I decided to try it, I played a single chapter, and it seemed to work well, so I decided to play in my games, with people, apparently something happens and the game closes, it sends you to the game's main menu with a message, the message that appears is the following: The 9th Survivor overflowed reliable chanel.

That's an engine's protection saying that your client sending or receiving some usermessages too often.
Examples of such usermessages are:
- chat commands, real and fake (like FakeClientCommand()).
- menus
- and so on.

This plugin uses FakeClientCommand, which is fired via a timer with a random delay, set by ConVars:
- l4d_witches_spawn_time_min
- l4d_witches_spawn_time_max

Which values do you have for them?

[Beatles]

The first options you give me are not, since it does not give me that error with the multi tanks, and the value of the timer I reduced it to one, with a value of 8

[Dragokas]

How often it happens to you?
Why you decided that "Multi witches" plugin cause this error?
Which is your game L4D1 or 2?
Also, is anything useful found in console.log like many repeats of the same command?

With the value of 8.0 delay there is no chance FakeClientCommand can cause such overflow.
Maybe some conflict with other plugins, like chat interceptor and so.
I added update 1.5.4 to prevent double Round-Start glitch in L4D2, which is anyway cannot trigger such error.

Only this plugin is activated, it is for L4D1, well I also use the Zombie Limits plugin that you made, I put it to control the amount of infected and the server does not overflow with entities.

Changed the parameters but it doesn't work, too many witches will be spawned at the same time.
