Currently there is a bug in the serverside handling of the version command. If you break the connection to the server fast enough after sending/receiving the version cmd, the server will lock in the login-loop, new connections won't be accepted anymore. The logfile is then flooded with: "doeric_server: error on accept: Invalid argument doeric_server: error on accept" It is very serious, getting more CF players this bug will occure more often. Maybe this is why some admins kill crossfire every 3 hour with cron. -- cut -- Mark, you have added an option to the metaserver to connect to port tcp 13326 and then let a client retrieve information. I have tested this with telnet and netcat but it doesn't seem to work, have you updated the running metaserver?
