Evening,

We are having crashing every few minutes after the most recent update on all our windows servers. It seems to be the same thing each time per the crash dumps. I am currently flying back into town and plan on removing plugins/features soon but hoped this may help me focus my search.

Any help is appreciated.

hope someone can help you. So far nobody reported any crashing yet due to a very small update

We tracked it down to a specific player. He is using some new method of crashing servers. Came in a dozen or so times rotating on our servers and crashed them instantly.

Multiple IPs, ended up doing a subnet ban and the crashes stopped instantly. Here is one of the many steamid's he used. STEAM_0:0:91229475

If I am allowed to post the IP i will, but I don't know what the rules are on that. Anyway, definitely a new exploit, or maybe an old one that I am unaware of.

Be careful using this extension as this also kicks legitimate players if you use any plugins with TeleportEntity().

Those plugins should try safe guarding against using bad angles and bad coords.

All it does is swapping player positions between the spawns, though.
It freezes the clients by making their movement type NONE. Interestingly, it does not consistently happen.
