I think i may have figured this out, Basically its an overload of Messages for differnt powers being sent, For instance Xaviers trail creation along with Punishers ammo check, Daredevils rings and any number of custom heros you have installed, it happens at start of rounds normally as this is when XP would be loaded and thefore it Executes all those commands all at the exact same time for every player that has those powers, Normally of course these powers would Activate at differnt times and at intervals (Xaviers trail creation and Daredevils ring creation rarely colide. and punisher would be activated when someone is shooting) However at round start All of these kick in at the exact same time, so the server gets flooded with info, cant cope and sends out "bad" info cause its under too much strain.
Solution: code heros to only start a few seconds after round start with a random timer (something as low as a random 1-3 second interval at round start would work)
I've noticed that it is mostly players that have powers like daredevil and xavier together that normally suffer the most, however i have had occasions where everyone was kicked, normally when the server was full (20) or at least partially full, less common on slow days.
that is a theory though, but i think it could be accurate, i ran a test by changing my current hero im working on to load up several times and to check players several times at round start (not xp load) even with just bots and me having the only powers the server still seemed to splutter and die.

BAD: 94:svc_bad
Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage: Illegible server
*note: Hero im working on uses the temp_entity so i know its whats causing this, leading me to belive seeing as cur_weapon is common amount the others that its punisher or punisher like heroes that perhaps are doing this (i know our server has 3 seperate heroes that have punisher like attributes, and seeing as i have a clip limiter in mine the extra code that it uses will put just that much more strain on the server than standard punisher would) so im going to put in a "delay" on these heroes and see if that can perhaps help things.
This is of course just a theory, but it makes sence to me, and it would seem that my limited tests support it
EDIT: Alright, My Experiment isnt valid, the reson it crashed is cause i forgot to include a very important byte
, However i still think the theory itself is accurate
