in Reliable Channel Overflowed Post #313426
When do the players get this error? Is it as they connect to the server after about 15 players join, do they get insta kicked, or is it like, after 15 join, people start randomly getting kicked from time to time?

If it's the first:
Are you sure it's not the plugins causing the problem? All the stuff the server sends to the player; map, textures, plugins, models etc, can contributes to this error. If there's too much information being sent at once, you get this error.
I presume the error doesn't happen in a LAN game right? If that's the case, then all the stuff on the server is causing the overflow.

If it's the second:
You said that your map is below the entity limit, but remember that entity polys in-game increase based on how many players there are on the screen, so if you start getting overflow after about 15 players join, it could be due to too many entity polys. Of course plugins contribute to this as well, If the sever is hosting a map with a lot of e-polys, and it has flashy plugins that make models appear, create flashy sprite effects or what not, it would make sense why it chokes after a certain amount of players join.
To fix this, You can either reduce amount of entity polys for map, or remove some flashy plugins and see if it can handle more than 15 people now.

Does your server require specific rates? and if yes, are the players with those rates crashing? Reading this up on the web, it could be caused by bad rates in-game too, but then I guess it wouldn't make sense why it happens only in your map.

Give us the .rmf and .wad's so we can find the problem.

Yeah turns out that the onboard automatically disables if one has a sound card. I've come to the conclusion that the sound card I have is just bad, I took it out, with the onboard there is no background noise. I have also just found out my on-board sound better than that soundcard D: gg faulty sound card.

Yes It's windows 7, I already tried installing those drivers earlier potatis, made no difference. I reinstalled them for the sake of it, no change.
Tetsu0 how do i remove the 'extra sound effects' ?.

Edit: I unplugged it, cleaned it, plugged it back in. Problem persists!

Here's an idea; If I plug my speakers into the Soundcard, and Headphones into the MB, is it possible to make all main applications to run sound to the speakers, and specific ones like skype and teamspeak to run to the headphones, and have them both active at the same time? That could solve my problem!

Captain yes I have.
The building is shite, but it doesn't explain why speakers have no noise, and headphones have ridiculously loud static noise. It only happens when no audio is playing too on the headphones.
When I can be bothered to, I'll try unplugging it and plugging it back in, but I doubt that's the problem. Card is brand new, so is mother board.

Hello peoples! I've got an Asus Xonar DG soundcard, It works really well with my 2 speakers, but for some reason when I plug any headphones into the socket, I get strange background noise, that can sometimes get very loud! It's annoying! It doesn't happen on speakers, and the soundcard is designed for headphones so what the hell? I've tried changing pretty much all settings in the control panel, nothing works. Another very weird problem that i must fix, is the fact that any microphone i plug into the soundcard doesn't respond, same for the jacks on the motherboard! The only microphone i can get to work is the one i plug into a usb socket (video cam) Strange huh? Can anyone help me with this?

I remember one time I dreamt I was a character from a JRPG, I remembered the whole thing when I woke up, and I wrote down a pretty good story for a game that I doubt has been done before. Not really relating to scary dreams though. Well I was fighting bosses and stuff in that dream, as anyone would in a JRPG :D

Probably the worst dreams I've had; I'm dreaming and I can see myself from a corner of my room, and all of a sudden the view starts flying towards me and I get this feeling as if I'd been ripped into the air and then I wake up frightened as shit. I've had a few dreams when I'm falling endlessly too, and those few where I'm being chased and keep falling over, it's so annoying.

You should Google how to improve your sleep. Things like exercise, relaxation, low amount of stress, healthy diet all work towards helping you sleep better. The only problem I have when it comes to sleep is that my bloody flat mates don't shut up some nights, playing loud music or raging at video games. I got earplugs for that now :D

in Lighting Issues Post #312056
If none of the things I said worked, then it's probably your compile process messing up, breaking half way etc. If rad worked correctly, it would not make these problems appear, I've had this before when I don't compile rad properly (like I said before) so maybe you need to fiddle around with rad, try either increasing, or decreasing rad settings. Putting the settings higher may make the lighting look good, or putting them lower might stop your rad from crashing and making this error.
Or maybe, the problem is only in your computer, since you're playing cs:go at very low settings, I don't know, could be.

in Last movie you saw? Post #312030
I saw the hobbit in cinemas recently, I thought it was very good. The difference between the hobbit and lord of the rings movies, is that in the hobbit, each scene seems to be dragged out slightly longer, and whilst the movie might not be as fast paced and go through as much content as the lord of the rings movies did, it's still great, I don't see why people are complaining about it, by making the book into three movies rather than two, they just give us more content, more lore, more content from the book, which isn't that bad.

in Lighting Issues Post #312001
Well It's obviously some kind of lighting bug. Try compiling the light in different way, i.e.: try doing hdr, extra, or final parameters for rad, maybe try changing the lightmap size of those faces, and if that doesn't work try changing the material to see if that's the problem. Trial and Error.
It could also be due to rad crashing, I've had rad crash before and create such weird bugs.

All things I knew. You can snap and kill one, two, three people with a knife, or 'tire iron' as Elliot mentioned, but a rifle is a weapon designed for war to kill masses of people. When would a sane person be in a situation where he would need to kill 20-30 people to defend himself? That wouldn't be self defense, that would be mass murder. A rifle is NOT the same as a tire iron, don't compare the two.

I don't understand what you are saying, if you make a claim like that, back it up. The kids were murdered by a gun, not a video game. I'm against guns, guns were the tools used in these murders, not video games.
It is true that video games might have played some part in these murders, but they are not directly responsible for them like the Gun Association makes them out to be. I don't see what you're trying to say at all.

Dimbark you're missing the point, violence is everywhere these days, games, movies, books, all types of media. The point was, that this flipping Rifle Association group that's in charge of rifle use in America, doesn't want laws passed against them, and want to continue selling more guns to make more money, and their way of doing that is to blame video games for violence in their community, they want to push the blame upon something else so they can continue making money.
Violent video games may lead someone to committing violence himself, but he's going to do it with a gun, or a knife, or a fist, not a copy of call of duty.

Have you guys heard about this?

http://www.gamespot.com/news/ca-senator-calls-nras-response-to-violent-games-pathetic-and-unacceptable-6401945

Basically, the National Rifles Association in America is suddenly blaming video games for the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, they are trying to throw the blame onto something else, how pathetic is that?

That article is particularly interesting due to the fact that Californian Senator Leland Yee himself tried passing a law to limit violence in video games a few months ago, but was struck down, and the National Rifle Association was nowhere to be seen back then, and now all of a sudden when the pressure is on them, they decide violent video games are the fault.

Leland Yee called them pathetic, I think he's correct there.

Personally, I think it would be a good idea to limit violence in video games, but that's a completely different issue that has nothing to do with guns in America. I hope these assholes don't get away with it. I know some of you are against new laws being passed towards guns, but now you see what kind of people you're defending.
