Hey guys,
My server console get the 'Info string length exceeded' message and this message always spam my server console (SERVER CONSOLE NOT CLIENT)
My server get lag and kick players randomly with reason 'Reliable channel overflowed' when this message spamming my server. Also, my server is a Zombie Plague 4.3 server.
If someone turn to zombie and the model didn't change to zombie when the message spamming my server....

I spent a lot of time to find out what the hell is going on. I just disabled all plugins included metamod plugins and the message didn't stop appear.

This message isn't spam my server console all the time. It happened randomly.
I can reload the map to solve this problem temporary only.
What is this message mean? And, how can I solve this problem?

Thank you.

P.S. I tried Windows and Linux, didn't change. And I using Linux now.

Sorry for my bad English

I got no error before that idiot spam.
I don't know why I have that error. My server is clean and simple.

it wont appear without plugins . That spam is about a function which is being hooked every on server frame. It is saying that the taken string length length is greater than the one which is hooked from thd game data.

Please make a plugin which will spam the server console with 'Info string length exceeded'.

Let me know what problem will cause this problem.

My zombie plague plugin is modified.

Thanks

If you get this error you will have to remove some unnecessary strings, or simply use a shorter player name."
